<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2475950, member: 2844&quot;]Sorry Andy, these pendants are made in Nepal. The style is very Nepali. You are confusing Nepal with Tibet and you assume the Nepali Hindus use Tibetan Vajrayana Sanskrit script. They don&#039;t. Tibet and Nepal are two very different countries with different cultures.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main religions in Nepal are Hinduism and Buddhism, both considered Indian religions, even though Siddharta Gautama (Buddha) was born in Nepal.</p><p>There are also people whose faith is a mix of Hinduism and Buddhism. Not all that strange, Buddhism was originally a school within Hinduism. It is/was the same in parts of Southeast Asia.</p><p>The Nepalese Hindus don&#039;t use the Tibetan Aum/Om symbol, simply because they are not traditionally familiar with it. Traditionally they only know the Hindu Sanskrit one. They are from Nepal and they are Hindu, not from Tibet and Vajrayana Buddhist.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>There are Vajrayana Buddhists in Nepal, but they make different jewellery from the Hindus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
