Beautiful Tibetan reliquary in luminescent resin in the shape of a lotus
with inside a sacred pill Tsépamé Rilbu (pill of Buddha Amithaba)
consecrated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama .
*
Amithaba Buddha ( Buddha of Infinite Light ), the Buddha who embodies compassion and incidentally longevity, is the central deity of the so-called "Pure Land" school of Buddhism. He reigns over the western paradise of the Pure Land,
mythical place of temporary refuge away from the cycle of transmigrations,
or equivalent to nirvana according to certain schools.

I obtained these pills in Nepal about ten years ago from a lama at a monastery in Bodnath and am offering you a small quantity here in beautiful quality reliquaries.
