#ONE SPECIAL FLAT 2 SIDED TIBETAN BUDDHIST HAND CARVED & PAINTED DELUXE MANI STONE NEPAL

These special mani stones have a different design on each side:  Chenrezig's Om Mani mantra of compassion and Buddha's "wisdom" eyes, representing wisdom and compassion, as viewed at the famous Swambhunath stupa in the Kathmandu valley Both are very familiar motifs in Tibetan Buddhism these measure around 3" long, 1 3/4" wide & 1/8" thick - natural stone, but thin The sacred Om Mani mantra is highlighted with black paint, white Buddha's eyes use black, green and red This listing is for one hand carved hand painted deluxe mani stone each one unique these appear to have been cut from a fairly thin piece of slate & they are quite thin interesting out of doors in the garden or inside as a paperweight.  I can't guarantee whether or not the paint will hold up to weather but the carving will.. For more information about the Buddha's eyes motif, please see below *** Buy With Confidence:     We are practicing Buddhists     We respect the importance of these religious materials     We use the same products that we sell     USA-based  *** There is a large pair of eyes on each of the four sides of the main stupa which represent Wisdom and Compassion. Above each pair of eyes is another eye, the third eye. It is said that when Buddha preaches, cosmic rays emanate from the third eye which acts as messages to heavenly beings so that those interested can come down to earth to listen to the Buddha. The hellish beings and beings below the human realm cannot come to earth to listen to the Buddha's teaching, however, the cosmic rays relieve their suffering when Buddha preaches. Between the two eyes (also called Wisdom Eyes), a curly symbol, symbolizing the nose, is depicted which looks like a question mark, which is a Nepali sign of number figure one. This sign represents the unity of all things existing in the world as well as the only path to enlightenment through the teachings of Buddha
