Dorje Shugden pendant - suppliers?
« on: March 13, 2010, 03:23:19 PM »
Hi.

A few years ago it was possible to buy a silver or brass pendant from NKT shops.  In fatc they had 2 types - the Vajrayogini mantra rosary and the Dorje Shugden type.  They were coin shaped and around an inch (2.5 cms) in diameter.

The Dorje Shugden one had a banner with his mantra on it and a vajra.

I've tried web searches but can't find a Dorje Shugden pendant/amulet anywhere.

Does anyone know where I may source one please?

Thanks. :)

Hi Yeshe,

You may be interested in this. I got a friend to custom-make this for me. Its made specially to order so it takes a while, about a month or so to complete. It is pure silver and very well made. If you'd like to find out more, drop me a message.

I bought a few pendants recently from an online store called Kechara eshop. They have a range of designs with various deities. You can check them out at http://www.kechara.com/eshop/

I got some of their new designs with precious stones. They also have more plain looking ones (silver, alloy, white gold etc) for daily wear. I don't see any Dorje Shugden pendants, but may be you can ask them.

Their prices are very affordable, plains ones around USD80+ and stones ones are about USD100- USD150. The workmanship & quality is very good, perhaps it's because the shop is under a lama - Tsem Tulku's organisation. I got to know about the shop from his Youtubes teachings.
 
Anyway, these are the ones that I bought.

Yeshe, thanks for asking and Duldzin, thanks for providing the fantastic solutions!

The pendants are beautiful, especially the rare Dorje Shugden ones. I love the Snow Lion: really detailed and beautiful. I showed the images to some friends who are not familiar with Buddhadharma and they were very impressed and attracted to the design. In fact, many accepted when I offered the pendants to them as gifts...so now, I definitely have to make orders with you Duldzin  :)

Actually, offering these affordable pendants as gifts to family and friends could be a good way to spread the Dharma too. How exciting it is to have so many ways of touching the people we care about with the Dharma!

Thanks again for this posting and happy shopping everyone!

I love that photo - captures Vajrayogini's stunning features so well... Tsem Tulku must be a great practitioner for the statue to have such a radiant glow..

Anyway, i was surfing around and found this
http://vajrasecrets.com/statue/higher-tantras.html

the statues are not so big which suits me fine since i only stay in a teeny bedsit...
This 6" antique flying Vajrayogini is way cool..
http://vajrasecrets.com/statue/higher-tantras/antique-flying-vajrayogini-statue-6.html

I still love Tsem Tulku's Vajrayogini but these statues are pretty nice too...

anyway, i'll dream on.. :P

Thanks for the links :)
Are those prices $US? Some of those statues are very expensive.

This Lovely Vajrayogini is the same as ones we get for our shop, I can't believe that that is $US they are charging for this?

Well, you wrote what I was thinking.  The Tsem Tulku products all seem to be VERY expensive in comparison with similar products eslewhere.

For statues etc. I  have used :  himalayanmart.com

The stock is huge so you need to patiently explore.
