Guru Padmasambhava

"Buddha-gashi" was the name patented in 2013 by Teacher Emily Wu Huijing to classify wagashi made for offering to Buddha. The creative inspiration for the Buddha-gashi in the Seed-word Series came when she was attending a Buddhist ceremony. The beautiful Buddhist Sanskrit Seed Syllable is the symbol of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, one word and syllable represents one particular Buddha or Bodhisattva. In Tantric Buddhism, it also represents the mantra spoken by the Buddhas, which contain powerful energy. When Teacher Emily is making this series of Buddha-gashi, with a heart full of joy, she will listen to the particular Buddha or Bodhisattva's mantra while cutting the lotus being offered.

May the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas protect all mankind, and hope that in the future world, everyone will have correct faith and righteous thoughts, there will be no wars and disputes, no disasters and sufferings, and a world of peace and joy will be achieved.

The pronunciation of Guru Padmasambhava's seed syllable: ह्रीः Hrih

Guru Padmasambhava: The incarnation of Amitabha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Sakyamuni Tathagata, the Vajra Manifestation of the Three Secrets of body, speech and mind. Because Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) appeared to be born in the Lake Dhanakosha in the territory of Oddiyana Kingdom, later generations always respectfully addressed Him as "Guru Urgyen", so His Pure Land was called "Urgyen Temple Land".

Guru Padmasambhava is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan people respectfully call Him "Guru Rinpoche" (meaning Precious Treasure Master). All the Buddhist disciples who practice Buddhism and esotericism worship and make offerings to Him diligently. You can achieve achievements in this life, the next life, or the intermediate body, and you will be reborn in the Pure Land of Padmasambhava Urgyen at the end of your life. The impression given to me by Guru Padmasambhava is that he is dressed in a big red robe, galloping in a desert, shining brightly with a golden light.

Things to note:

• Buddha-gashi is a Jonamagashi made with bean paste. It will easily dry out when exposed to the air. Therefore, it is recommended to keep it in the original transparent packaging box during the process of offering to Buddha. Please make sure the transparent cover is tightly closed to avoid water loss.
• In order to avoid collision damage during transportation, the bottom of the Buddha-gashi is fixed with a plastic three-prong bracket. If you need to move the Buddha-gashi, please remove or cut off the bracket from the outside of the bottom of the box when the Buddha-gashi is in a semi-frozen state before taking it out of the box.
• It is recommended that the Buddha-gashi be kept at room temp. for no more than 2 hours and consumed on the same day.
• Color deviations may occur due to various reasons such as hand dyeing, photography, and individual computer settings. Therefore, the pictures are for reference only, and everything is subject to the actual product.
