Mantra Mandala – Om Mani Padme Hum
The Mantra Mandala features the sacred six-syllable mantra “OM MANI PADME HUM”, associated with Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. This powerful mantra is believed to offer protection from dangers and suffering, guiding practitioners toward inner peace and enlightenment.
In Mahayana Buddhism, the mantra is widely used in prayers, meditation, and sacred art. It is often inscribed on rocks, prayer wheels, monastery walls, and pathways—symbolizing universal compassion and wisdom. Chanting or meditating on this mantra is said to purify negative karma and promote spiritual growth.
Introduction to Thangka
A thangka (also spelled tangka, thanka, or tanka) is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting, carefully created on cotton or silk appliqué. These artworks serve as visual representations of Buddhist teachings, depicting deities, mandalas, and sacred narratives to aid in meditation and devotion.
Unlike conventional framed paintings, thangkas are designed to be rolled and stored like ancient scrolls. They are often mounted on textile backings and covered with silk for protection. To ensure their longevity, proper storage in dry environments is essential.
