Calligraphy of the five Buddha lotus mandala, Tashi M annox 2009 .

The Five Buddhas form a base of a Mandala, the above lotus mandala shows

each of the Buddhas seed syllables in the Lanza Sanskrit, Om at the central

point, Hum below in the Eastern quarter, arranged around clockwise, following

the suns path, are Tram, Hri and Ah.

There is variation in representation of place and colour relating to thedirections, for example the Om and hum can be switched, the examples shown

here are according to the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition.

When writing the syllables normally from left to right, they follow in their

respected order: Om, hum, Tram, Hri, Ah, as shown below. However when

relating each of these letters to their assigned central and cardinal directions,

the order is changed, This is apparent in the Five Buddha crown shown below

and on the shrine canopy above.

The five Buddha crown, known as in Tibetan, here represented in the Uchen script s tyle.

Hand made by Tashi Mannox 2008.

Each of the Five Buddhas are associated with their own family and the

conversion of the Five Mind Poisons into the Five Wisdoms:

1. Om, Virochana, Buddha family. Ignorance converts to all accommodating

wisdom.

2. Hum, Akshobya, Vajra Buddha family. Hate/anger converts to mirror like

I do not have a calligraphy of "Life is Suffering".

This is something that can be commissioned by contacting me on [email protected]

otherwise you may find a similar translation by searching for The Four Noble Truths, the first

of these is the "Truth of Suffering"
