This unique Tibetan Buddhist amulet for protection from the Bouddhanath Stupa in Nepal contains the mantra of Avalokiteshvara:

"OM MANI PADME HUM"

The mantra has been stamped on paper, immersed in saffron water, folded and wrapped in silk thread and blessed by a Tibetan Buddhist Lama.  

The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara represents endless love and compassion. He holds his first 2 arms folded in front of his heart thus symbolizing that all Buddhas protect sensitive beings against suffering. In his right hand he holds a crystal rosary which symbolizes his possibility to alight from Samsara and reminds the believers to recite his mantra. In his left hand he holds the stem of the Utpala flower which symbolizes his pure motivation. It is said that the Dalai Lama is a reincarnation of Avalokiteshvara.  

 It is widely assumed that reciting Avalokiteshvaras mantra 

OM MANI PADME HUM is not only good for oneself but for

all sentient beings. 

The amulet can be worn around the neck or carried in a handbag or purse. You can also put it in a special place in your home, office or car like above the door or under a pillow.
