Auspicious Tibetan Rahula Sungkhor Protection Butti Amulet
Sungkhors are protective charms/buttis/amulets that contain miniature figures of specific deities folded into many folds and intricately hand woven by nylon five element colors Red, Blue, White, Orange and Green thread in mandala outline designs stipulated by Vajrayana texts of the specific deities. Although all enlightened deities are prefect in their blessing qualities, each deity is often associated with a different enlightened quality.
This Auspicious Sungkhor Butti or Amulet features the image of Rahula. Rahula is a wrathful Buddhist deity known as a Dharma Defender. Also called the Protector of the Teachings, he fiercely protects the Buddha dharma and those who have vowed to practice it. Despite Rahula’s terrifying appearance, he is a Bodhisattva, an embodiment of compassion who acts for the benefit of sentient beings. His function is to avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from attaining spiritual realizations, as well as to foster the necessary conditions for their practice. It is believed that in some cases the powers arrayed against the Dharma are so strong that a Bodhisattva must appear in wrathful form in order be of assistance. Rahula is the most fearsome and omnipotent of such warrior-defenders.
This Sungkhor / Butti / Amulet is designed as a handy pocket sized which can be fit into a wallet or purse so that one can carry where ever he/she goes and can be worn around the neck as a pendant or could also be hanged on the doors or cars. This amulet is hand made by the experienced artisans of Nepal who have been in the business for many years.
