Skandar.....Having found the geometric underpinning
At the heart of the design of the Aztec calendar,
Where Do I go from here?
Here is a geometric symbol from Tibet,
One of the Eight Auspicious religious symbols,
The endless Knot, the Knot of Eternity,
Described on one site as symbolizing
"the unity of all things and the
illusory character of time."

 

 

Om Mani Padme Hung

Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hung, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion.

Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect - it is often carved into stones and placed where people can see them.

Spinning the written form of the mantra around in a Mani wheel (or prayer wheel) is also believed to give the same benefit as saying the mantra, and Mani wheels, small hand wheels and large wheels with millions of copies of the mantra inside, are found everywhere in the lands influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.

The Prayer Wheel: Spiritual Technology from Tibet.

It is said that all the teachings of the Buddha are contained in this mantra: Om Mani Padme Hung can not really be translated into a simple phrase or sentence.

The mantra originated in India; as it moved from India into Tibet, the pronunciation changed because some of the sounds in the Indian Sanskrit language were hard for Tibetans to pronounce.
