Om Mani Padme Hum Charm Bracelet
This pretty charm bracelet harbors a secret deeper meaning. The charms spell out the Buddhist mantra for meditation – Om Mani Padme Hum. This is popularily translated as “Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus.”

This mantra is particularly important in Tibetan Buddhism, where it is associated with the Dalai Lama and the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokitesvara, which he represents.

The bracelet and charms are made of sterling silver, with semi-precious stone accents — pearl, amethyst, aquamarine.

This bracelet makes a thoughtful gift for the meditative woman in your life. It is packaged with a story card describing the symbolism of the charms.

Budai (Chinese: 布袋; pinyin: bùdài) or Budai Luohan, pronounced Hotei in Japanese, also known as the Laughing Buddha, is an interpretation of the Bodhisattva Maitreya, the predicted Buddha to succeed Gautama Buddha in the future.

He has become incorporated into Buddhist, Taoist and Shinto culture and is based on an eccentric Chinese Zen (Chán) monk who lived in the time of the Liang Dynasty. His image graces many temples, restaurants, amulets, and businesses. Budai has become a deity of contentment and abundance, when adopted by religious Taoists and Buddhists. In Japan, Hotei persists in folklore as one of the Seven Lucky Gods (Shichi Fukujin). He is almost always shown smiling or laughing, hence his nickname in Chinese, the “Laughing Buddha” (Chinese: 笑佛).

http://religiousjewelry.wordpress.com - Jade Prayer Wheel Necklace on Mustard Green Cord

Jade is an ornamental stone. The term jade is applied to two different rocks that are made up of different silicate minerals. Nephrite jade consists of the calcium- and magnesium-rich amphibole mineral actinolite (aggregates of which also make up one form of asbestos). The rock called jadeitite consists almost entirely of jadeite, a sodium- and aluminium-rich pyroxene. The trade name Jadite is sometimes applied to translucent/opaque green glass.

The English word ‘jade’ is derived from the Spanish term piedra de ijada (first recorded in 1565) or ‘loin stone’, from its reputed efficacy in curing ailments of the loins and kidneys. ‘Nephrite’ is derived from lapis nephriticus, the Latin version of the Spanish piedra de ijada.

A jade prayer wheel has been hand carved for this necklace. It is hanging on a caramel colored cord, with green jade bead accents. Jade is a symbol of purity and serenity, and is associated with your heart chakra. Jade is good for emotional balance, confidence and grounding. It is also the birthstone for March. This necklace can be adjusted from 14″ in length to 26″ in length by the Chinese knot closure. The prayer wheel is 5/8″ x 3/8″.
