This new offering by master designer Alberta Hutchinson presents the Tibetan Buddhist mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, in 108 different border designs for coloring and meditation. The English translation of the mantra is "Om! The jewel in the lotus, hum!" It is one of the most sacred mantras of Buddhism; saying it out loud or silently to oneself, as well as viewing the written form of the mantra, invokes the powerful blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. There is not a single aspect of the eighty-four thousand sections of the Buddha''s teachings which is not contained in Avalokiteshvara''s six syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum", and as such the qualities of the "mani" are praised again and again in the Sutras and Tantras... Whether happy or sad, if we take the "mani" as our refuge, Chenrezig will never forsake us, spontaneous devotion will arise in our minds and the Great Vehicle will effortlessly be realized.
