Mani Pins and Buttons
Description: Features the words "Om Mani Padme Hum" with Siddhartha Buddha's half face in a calm meditation with Buddha's eyes closed in a solemn digitally painted expression. May this Buddhist painting design bring you joy and aid in mindfulness throughout your day, as well as encourage others to live in the present, if only for a moment. Great for Mahayana, Vajrayana, Theravada and Zen Buddhists alike!
Description: The Unalome symbol is often depicted as a series of small dots or circles at the bottom of the design, representing the starting point or the initial stage of human existence. As the path unfolds, the spiral or curved line begins to ascend, signifying the ups and downs, struggles, and lessons learned throughout life. The spiral gradually straightens out, leading to a single straight line, which represents achieving enlightenment or reaching a state of higher consciousness.
Description: In the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum", "Mani" symbolizes the method aspect of the path: compassion, love, and the altruistic intention to reach enlightenment (called Bodhicitta). Similar to a wish-fulfilling gem, this compassion removes the suffering and negative karma of existence.
