How jaw-droopingly amazing is this Manjushri and Buddha Amitayus Gold Plated Sterling Silver Gao Shrine Box?! Buddha Amitayus or Buddha of Limitless Life is a Buddha aspect or a deity associated with meditations and mantras for a long life. Amitayus is usually depicted seated in a meditation posture with a vase (Kalasha) in his hands, which contains the elixir of immortality (Amrita) and leaves of the Ashoka tree. It symbolizes “a long life without the misery (Shoka) of disease. On top of the vase can be an alms bowl. Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, normally holds a sword in one hand, to cut off all delusion, and a Prajnaparamita Wisdom text in the other. His name is a compound of the Sanskrit words Man-ju (meaning charming, beautiful, pleasing) and Shri (or Sri, meaning glory, brilliance). The combination of both these words convey the kind of intelligence and wisdom Manjushri represents. Manjushri's Sanskrit name means "He Who Is Noble and Gentle." He is often portrayed as a beautiful young man. #gaobox #manjrushri #bodhisattvaofwisdom #bodhisattva #amitayus #buddhaoflimitlesslife #buddha #buddhist #buddhistjewelry #loissherrdubin #thehistoryofbeads #oneofakindjewelry #vintagejewelry #handmade #rarejewelry #rareamulet #amulet #hewhoisnobleandgentle #fashion #style #styleinspo #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise

This Jewish Amulet with Hebrew Kabbalah “E’heye Asher E’heye” is equally striking as it is meaningful. This special amulet's Hebrew's inscriptions are Kabbalah' acronyms also known as The 42-Letter Name. This name is related to Moshe (Moses) and the Burning Bush. When God first appeared to Moshe, he asked by what name he should use to call The Infinite. God responded, “E’heye Asher E’heye,” which has been translated to “I will be as I will be.” #jewishamulet #amulet #jewishpendant #kabbalah #kabbalahjewelry #eheyeashereheye #42letternameofgod #moses #moshe #iwillbeasiwillbe #60percentsilver #highqualitysilver #handmade #handmadeamulet #hebrew #hebrewinscribed #customjewelry #oneofakind #rareamulet #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwfQgeZhGKE/?igshid=166ykaxj0zjep
