- Amazing color and texture! - Felipe Roos
Nepal - Deep in her prayers in Bodhnath temple
The deep, resonant Om is all sound and silence throughout time, the roar of eternity and also the great stillness of pure being... The Mani is the "adamantine diamond" of the Void--the primordial, pure and indestructible essence of existence... Padme is the world of phenomena, samsara, unfolding with spiritual progress to reveal beneath the leaves of delusion the jewel of nirvana. Hum has no literal meaning... Perhaps it is simply a rhythmic exhortation completing the mantra.
One reason for Bodhnath's appeal is the presence of maroon-robed monks from all four major Tibetan Buddhist sects, encouraging an atmosphere of debate and the easy exchange of ideas. The older monasteries clustered around Bodhnath keep their doors open most of the time, and visitors are welcome to attend morning and evening services. At Bodhnath, despite the continuing tragedy of their homeland, Tibetan culture and religious beliefs continue to flourish beneath the approving gaze of the all-seeing eye.
