Becoming Zen in The Garden of Adin: Om mani padme hummmmmm

This harmonious photo of a top-quality natural jadeite antique bangle, weighing 194.73 ct, literally depicts the Buddhist mantra "Om mani padme hum," which translates to "The jewel in the flower." The "jewel" refers to enlightenment and wisdom, enabling one to love unconditionally. This invocation honours the Buddhist symbol of compassion without prejudice.

In many ancient and modern cultures, jade has been and always will be "Yu," the "Gem Supreme" and the "Jewel of Heaven," the "Stone of the Heart." Jade could very much be the embodiment of "Om mani padme hum." Another analogy with this incantation is jade's unique attribute of melodic resonance. Artisans have created musical instruments from jade to produce "heavenly" tones for ritual practices. Chinese poets have compared jade's melodious sound to the voice of a loved one. Not surprisingly, jade is a universal symbol of "the concentrated essence of love," harmony, virtue, and eternity.

While wearing this illustrious bracelet, you can feel your mind being elevated and your heart filled with unconditional love to be sent out into the world.
