Mantra Mandala

OM MANI PADME HUM is the six syllable mantra of the Avalokitesvara, known as a savior and protector from the dangers. It is believed that one who chant this mantra, will be saved from all dangers and the misery in the life. This mantra is widely used in Mahayana Buddhism for different purposes from chanting to using them in arts. The mantras are often found inscribed on rocks, prayer wheels, Chaitya walls, paths, the approaches and exists of the villages.

It is said that all teachings of Buddha Life are contained within OM MANI PADME HUM. Shortly called as Mani mantra, the Mani mantra can be chanted and recited by anyone who feels like practicing it and doesn’t require any Buddhist Master to do so. Mani Wheel found on the Stupas are spun and spinning the wheels gives the same benefit as reciting the mantra.

The mantra can be found on the small hand wheels or a large wheel with millions of copies of mantra inside.

OM MANI PADME HUM is also inscribed in Mandala paintings. Those kinds of mandala have OM MANI PADME HUM in a circular fashion, and mantras are painted in concentric circles from the surface to the center of the circle. They come under the categories of the Mantra Mandala. These mandalas are usually found hanging on the walls of Buddhist monasteries and are often used in meditation halls for focus and concentration purposes.

They are also cravings of the mantra outside the walls of Stupas. Sometimes there are found in the center of the Sand Mandalas.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.
