{"product_id":"om-mani-padme-hum-spinner-ring","title":"Om Mani Padme Hum Spinner Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eOm mani padme hum. Six syllables, the most spoken mantra in Tibetan Buddhism, and the reason prayer wheels exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea is simple. \u003cstrong\u003eTurning the mantra is the same as saying it.\u003c\/strong\u003e That is why the outer band on this ring spins. When your hands are busy or your mind is loud, you turn it, and the recitation carries on without you having to speak. It turns quietly enough to use in a meeting without anyone noticing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a fidget, honestly, and there is nothing wrong with that. The people who wear these reach for them in traffic, in waiting rooms, in the middle of a hard conversation. That is exactly what it is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lettering is raised out of the metal, so it survives being spun thousands of times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 卍 is the manji, read wan, meaning ten thousand and by extension all things.\u003c\/strong\u003e It sits on the chest of Buddha statues from India to Japan, it is one of the oldest auspicious symbols in Asia, and it predates the twentieth-century European use most people think of first by several thousand years. Almost no listing mentions it, so this one does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf your hands need something to do when you are anxious, this was built for that specific problem.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting the size right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake your usual size and do not size down. A spinner needs a little clearance to turn freely, and a tight one stops being the thing you bought it for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking after Tibetan silver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal darkens gradually with wear and most people prefer it that way. A soft cloth brings it back if you want it bright. Keep the moving band clear of hand cream and grit, which is what slows a spinner down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one to give to somebody who is going through a stretch of not sleeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crafted from Tibetan silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free-spinning outer band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Om mani padme hum, manji (卍)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antiqued lettering, deepens with wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Earth Tibet","offers":[{"title":"7.75","offer_id":52407251173678,"sku":"200000226:350853;200000369:200001533","price":4.96,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":52407251108142,"sku":"200000226:350853;200000369:699","price":4.96,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":52407251140910,"sku":"200000226:350853;200000369:200000289","price":40.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":52407250977070,"sku":"200000226:350853;200000369:350262","price":40.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":52407251009838,"sku":"200000226:350853;200000369:200000290","price":40.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":52407250911534,"sku":"200000226:350853;200000369:1583","price":40.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":52407250944302,"sku":"200000226:350853;200000369:200000291","price":40.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":52407251042606,"sku":"200000226:350853;200000369:100010420","price":40.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":52407251075374,"sku":"200000226:350853;200000369:1663","price":40.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4807\/7102\/files\/om-mani-padme-hum-ring-6.webp?v=1786672866","url":"https:\/\/www.earthtibet.com\/products\/om-mani-padme-hum-spinner-ring","provider":"Earth Tibet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
