Manipu Cintāmaṇi

Manibao is composed of flames and treasures. The treasures are presented in a trapezoid shape of three, two, and one, surrounded by fiery red flames burning upwards, surrounding the treasure in the center and a lotus seat below.

Legend has it that Manipao can illuminate all the poor living beings on the four continents of Mount Sumeru, relieve their poverty and suffering, and make all their pure and wonderful wishes come true. Therefore, Mani Jewels are used as a symbol of warding off disasters and auspiciousness.

Manibao, also translated as wishful jewels, wishful pearls, wishful mani, priceless jewels, etc. The things held by Baosheng Buddha, Wishful Wheel Avalokitesvara, Horsehead Diamond, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, etc. can satisfy the wishes of all sentient beings. There are also people from Xi Niu Huozhou, who often talk about this gem.

"Vajra Top Yoga Outline of the Thirty-Seven Heart Essentials" says: "The next time you should bow to the Tathagata born in the south. If you want to hold the Mani Aquarius, you want to empower all the Tathagatas, that is, the Bodhisattva of the Void Treasures to hold the Mani Jewel. , to fulfill the wishes of all sentient beings. Because the merits and virtues of the accumulation of good fortune are boundless and boundless, and the wishes and wishes of He Yiweiguang are fulfilled, this is captured by the Jeweled Tathagata, which is the wisdom of equality.”

Six-character Great Ming Mantra: Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ / ॐ मणिपद्मे हूं / ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ

Maṇi in the six characters means treasure, Padme means lotus, Maṇi Padme according to the Sanskrit azimuthal grammar, means the treasure is on the lotus, and the preposition Oṃ and the postposition Hūṃ are interjections representing sacred, so the overall literal interpretation is "¡The treasure is on the lotus!".

In the Lotus Sutra, the Mani Jewel interprets a very important core idea: everyone is inherently Buddha-nature. When the Buddha attained enlightenment, he discovered that sentient beings and Buddhas are inherently Buddha-nature, that sentient beings are unrealized Buddhas, and Buddhas are completed sentient beings.

The walls of the school are frames and things. People should break through the frames and things in life and explore the more fundamental and core educational content: the exploration of the fundamental issues of life.

You and I both have a Mani Orb, find him.
