专家说明

Shadakshari Avalokiteshvara, the four-armed form of the bodhisattva of supreme compassion, is believed to be the embodiment of the Buddhist mantra om mani padme hum, (“hail to the jewel in the lotus”). These six syllables represent the six realms of existence: Om is white and stands for the god realm; ma is green and stands for the demigod or Asura realm; ni is yellow and stands for the human realm; pad is blue and stands for the animal realms; me is red and stands for hungry ghost realm; hum is black and stands for the hell realm. Shadakshari ushers all beings from the six realms into enlightenment.
