Rare Find Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava Mantra Ring - Sterling Silver with Vajra Bell for Protection, High-Quality Craftsmanship
This sterling silver ring features the Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava Mantra, with a Vajra and Bell motif engraved on it. Both the mantra (in Tibetan) and the Vajra Bell are meticulously depicted according to Buddhist scriptures.
The Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) Mantra, "OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM," is renowned as one of the most powerful mantras in Tibetan Buddhism, offering profound blessings and protection, especially in these degenerate times. It represents the heart essence of Padmasambhava and serves as the mantra of all masters, buddhas, yidams, dakas, dakinis, and protectors.
The Vajra and Bell symbolize wisdom and compassion in Vajrayana Buddhism, benefiting all sentient beings.
-----
Padmasambhava, meaning ‘Lotus-born’, derives from Guru Rinpoche's birth from a lotus in the land of Oddiyana. Revered as the ‘Precious Master’, Guru Rinpoche is credited as the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and considered the Buddha of our time. While Buddha primarily taught the sutra vehicle, Padmasambhava incarnated to propagate the tantras, particularly in Tibet. Where Buddha Shakyamuni embodies the buddha principle central to the sutrayana path, Padmasambhava epitomizes the guru principle, essential to Vajrayana Buddhism, earning him the title of the ‘second Buddha’.
