Scent: Hinoki / Sandalwood / Sheng Puerh

Sanctuary Botanical Perfume is an elegant studio fragranced perfume inspired by the grounding ritual of the elemental world and an arousal of our senses. Sanctuary is deeply inspired by the soothing essences of ancient Sheng Puerh tea, purifying Hinoki Japanese Cypress trees, and hand-rolled Sandalwood incense. The meditative notes invoke a sensorial ritual of Sanctuary throughout your day.

Mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum

Om

The first, Om is composed of three letters. A, U, and M. These symbolize the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; they also symbolize the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of consciousness.

Mani

Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method—the altruistic intention to become enlightened with compassion and love.

Padme

The two syllables, padme, meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom, just as a lotus grows forth from mud but is not sullied by the faults of mud, so wisdom is capable of putting you in a situation of non-contradiction whereas there would be contradiction if you did not have wisdom.

Hum

Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility. According to the sutra system, this indivisibility of method and wisdom refers to wisdom affected by method and method affected by wisdom.

The six syllables: Om Mani Padme Hum

Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of consciousness.
