Himalayan key ring #77

Turn your key ring into a precious accessory with a unique, adventurous story. The Himalayan key ring #77 consists of a white metal pendant on which the mantra is chiseled, complemented by silver elements, gemstone beads and two green cords.

Om Mani Padme Hum(ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ) is probably the best-known mantra in Tibetan Buddhism. It is attributed to the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig in Tibetan), and is a central element of the spiritual practice of many Buddhists. The mantra consists of six syllables, each of which has a deeper symbolic meaning:

1. Om(ཨོཾ་) - Purifies pride and ego
2. Ma(མ་) - Purifies jealousy and desire for pleasure
3. Ni(ཎི་) - Purifies passion and desire
4. Pad(པད་) - Purifies stupidity and prejudice
5. Me(མེ་) - Purifies poverty and possessiveness
6. Hum(ཧཱུྃ་) - Purifies hatred and aggression

Together, the mantra stands for the transformation of the impurities of the mind into the wisdom and compassion of an enlightened being.

For our key rings we use carefully selected precious and semi-precious stones as well as coral and amber, some from old Tibetan jewelry. They are complemented by traditional silver beads from the Himalayas in various shapes and sizes.

Each Himalayan keyring is a unique handmade piece or part of an exclusive small series from Atelier Tibet in Zurich.
