We decided to open the new Albury store after so many requests as many people cannot make the trip to Yackandandah on a regular basis.
Many people only get to Yackandandah once or twice a year, now they can just drop in when shopping in Albury it’s made shopping with us much easier and less time consuming .

As for our on line website shopping well during the last six months sales have jumped around 100% – we still pack and post daily worldwide but most of our customer base is in Australia. Visit our website to see our range of goods just click here – you’ll be amazed at what we have available.

We would like to extend our New Year Wishes for a Happy Safe and Prosperous 2012 to all of our Customers, their families and loved ones as well as the whole world and beyond.

Mani Stones now available, Om Mani Padme Hum Carved into stone at Buddha Shop Yackandandah

abearsoldwares — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 05:05:20 +0000

Mani Stones carved mantra in rock from Tibet and Nepal
Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes
the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion.
Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect — it is often carved into stones,
as pictured below, and placed where people can see them giving all who see them the blessings.
