Full Moon Giveaway ~ NOW CLOSED ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ is a praise to the four-armed Avalokiteshvara (translated as ‘the lord who looks in every direction’ or ‘the lord of what we see’), the Buddhist deity of infinite compassion and mercy. The mantra invokes ‘the jewel in the lotus’, the jewel being the wish fulfilling gem (or cintāmaṇi), and the lotus representing purity. Either spoken aloud or sounded internally, the mantra is believed to create a connection to Avalokiteshvara and induce a higher level of spiritual awareness. In celebration of our community near and far, we wish to gift a selected participant and their friend a Buddha Blessing and Nomad Net Boiled Scarf (colour of your choice). Hand-painted in copper sand ink on black paper by Lhagon Kyap, a local painter who specialises in thangkas (Tibetan religious scrolls), this blessing depicts the most recited and ubiquitous of all Buddhist mantras, oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ.
