PANG PA LE LAI COIN, the Wednesday Buddha of inner contemplation and quiet peace. 🌿
This one PANG PA LE LAI COIN Dangle belongs to the BUDDHA series 🌿 the SPIRITUAL collection from MAMA MALA. ✨
As Lucky Buddha of Wednesday evening, this motif shows Buddha in a quiet forest scene, surrounded by an elephant and a monkey. The depiction appears quiet, collected and at the same time lively. In the round coin relief, Buddha sits amidst organic shapes, animals and flowing lines that are reminiscent of a secluded forest retreat. The front is richly detailed, while the smooth back lies comfortably on the skin and makes the coin a spiritual companion for bracelets and necklaces.
Pang Pa Le Lai (ปางป่าเลไลยก์) means forest refuge or retreat into the forest. In Thai tradition, this posture is associated with Wednesday evening. Tradition tells of a time when a dispute arose among the monks. Buddha tried to mediate, but his words were not heard. Instead of further fueling the conflict, he retreated into the forest and remained in quiet contemplation. There an elephant and a monkey came to him and freely brought him water, food and honey. This attitude became a symbol of withdrawal, peace, humility and the strength to distance oneself from unrest.
In Thai tradition, Wednesday has a special place because two Buddha postures are assigned to it. The PANG UMBAT COIN represents the Wednesday of the day and the gesture of receiving alms. The PANG PA LE LAI COIN represents Wednesday evening and the quiet wisdom of retreat. Together they both show that a day can have different sides, external connection and internal contemplation, giving and receiving, movement and silence.
As the Wednesday Buddha of the evening, this coin brings luck especially to people who were born on a Wednesday evening or Wednesday night. At the same time, it can be worn by anyone who feels connected to the energy of this day and wants to invite calm, retreat and inner peace into their everyday lives.
The PANG PA LE LAI COIN reminds you that not every conflict has to be resolved with words. Sometimes the greater strength lies in taking a step back, becoming quiet, and maintaining one's peace.
Made from solid 925 sterling silver, this dangle is part of the Lucky Buddhas of the weekdays and a symbol of inner contemplation, peaceful distance and quiet wisdom.
