This pendant features the beautiful Lotus Mandala on one side and the Tibetan mantra of Amitabha Buddha on the reverse side.

The Amitabha Buddha mantra is Om Ami Dewa Hrih. Amitabha is the Buddha of Infinite Light and Boundless Life. The Amitabha Mantra protects you from dangers and helps you succeed by overcoming obstacles.

Amitabha (meaning boundless light and infinite life in Sanskrit) is the Buddha in the Land of Ultimate Bliss (Pure Land), in which all beings enjoy unbounded happiness. Amitabha, one of the most popular and well-known Buddha in China (where he is known as Amitofu) and other parts of Asia, Amitabha is often seen with his two attendant Bodhisattvas, Avalokitesvara, representing compassion, and Mahasthamaprapta, representing wisdom. Together they form the Three Saints of the West or the Western Trinity. Revered as “The Buddha of Infinite Light”, he manifests boundless compassion, protecting and welcoming all into his realm of certain enlightenment. As head of the Lotus family, he is often depicted seated in serene meditation on a lotus throne, his radiant form warming and pacifying the hearts of all who gaze at him. His practice purifies all delusions and removes obstacles caused by one’s excessive attachment to material things, embodiment of discriminating wisdom and antidote to desire. Under his loving attention, the Dog’s journey in life will be smoother, happier and more meaningful.

The Lotus flower, one of the 8 Auspicious Symbols, is considered to be a sacred symbol in many Asian Cultures. It is revered as the Universal Symbol of the Flowering of Consciousness and Spiritual Attainment because of its ability to rise above the mud of ponds and untouched by its muddy origins. The Lotus flower represents peace and purity, that whenever obstacles come up, no matter how dark & muddy the waters may get, you can triumph and rise above and let the beautiful flower inside your heart glow.
