The present invention provides a rare earth sintered magnet which contains R (R represents one or more rare earth elements essentially including Nd), T (T represents one or more iron group elements essentially including Fe), B, M1 (M1 represents one or more elements selected from among Al, Si, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Mo, Sn, W, Pb and Bi) and M2 (M2 represents one or more elements selected from among Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Hf and Ta), while comprising an R2T14B phase as the main phase. This rare earth sintered magnet is characterized in that: the M1 is in an amount of from 0.5% by atom to 2% by atom; if (R), (T), (M2) and (B) are the respective atomic percentages of the above-described R, T, M2 and B, the relational expression (1) ((T)/14) + (M2) ≤ (B) ≤ ((R)/2) + ((M2)/2) is satisfied; and from 0.1% by volume to 10% by volume of all grain boundary phases in the magnet is composed of an R6T13M1 phase. This rare earth sintered magnet is able to achieve excellent magnetic characteristics including a good balance between high Br and high HcJ.
