The necklace interpretation of Om Mani Padme Hum is written in phags-pa script. I have looked and looked but I'm having trouble finding matching symbols. I am used to reading Om Mani Padme Hum in Tibetan and reading left to right. Could someone please help me identify if this is the correct inscription on the pendant.

The quality of Avalokiteśvara and light rays should be seen as rainbow light.<br /><br />So as I have explained, the hri syllable is an essential part of the Mani mantra. inkessentialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342803662822031617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386278822968433230.post-82059696609420601082014-02-11T02:39:09.113+00:002014-02-11T02:39:09.113+00:00Thank you!
