The Buddha meaning the 'awakened' or 'enlightened one' represents peace and freedom from suffering, encourages us to end the life, death, rebirth cycle by realizing the latent potential, invincible power and true nature of the human heart and mind in attaining the highest knowledge and supreme Enlightenment. Buddha taught the noble ideal of selfless service, compassion and loving kindness and to aspire to perfection, attaining spiritual awakening and by our own efforts, reach the eternal bliss of Nirvana. Buddhism has a deep and ancient talismanic tradition and charms of the Buddha are worn for protection and to assist on the path of Enlightenment or Buddhahood.

Considered the most sacred syllable in the Vedas is  "OM " or  “AUM"  According to ancient Vedic belief, in the beginning there was sound, which reverberated as Om and from that sound everything came into existence, the primeval sound, the first sound of the universe, the sound of creation itself. The vibration produced by chanting Om in the physical universe corresponds to the original vibration that first arose at the time of creation. The sound of Om is also called Pranava, meaning that it sustains life and runs through Prana or breath.

The sound ”AUM” is actually a combination of four parts: a ("ah"), or wakefulness; u ("oh"), the dream state; m ("mmm"), the quietness of deep, dreamless sleep; and the silence that follows, which represents pure consciousness. As yogis will attest, the vibrations of OM help settle the mind in a profound way.

Wearing a Sacred AUM charm is symbolic of aligning with the creative force of the universe. The AUM symbol signifies God, Creation, and the One-ness of all existence.
