This unique Tibetan Buddhist amulet for protection from the Bouddhanath Stupa in
Nepal contains the mantra of Jambhala:
"OM
JAMBHALA JALANDRAYE SVAHA"
The mantra
has been stamped on paper, immersed in saffron water,
folded and
wrapped in silk thread and blessed by a Tibetan Buddhist Lama.
Jambhala is the Buddhist God of
Wealth. He is pictured as
a Buddha with
a large belly and
wears a crown of lotus leaves.
In his right
hand he holds a cedar apple,
the symbol of
wealth, prosperity and fertility.
In his left
hand he holds the mongoose that spits out jewelry,
which
symbolizes generosity and fulfillment of wishes.
Jambhala is a
manifestation of 1000 armed Avalokiteshvara
(Chenrezig)
Buddha of Compassion.
It is widely
assumed that reciting Jambhalas mantra
"OM
JAMBHALA JALANDRAYE SVAHA" brings prosperity and wealth.
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.
