Om Mani Padme Hum
The Mani mantra is the most widely used of all Buddhist
mantras, and open to
anyone who feels inspired to practice it -- it does not require prior
initiation by a lama (meditation master).
The six syllables of the mantra, as it is often pronounced Ohm Mani Padme Hum
by Tibetans. It is said that all the teachings of the Buddha are contained in
this mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum can not really be translated into a simple
phrase or sentence.
The mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it
contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say the first syllable
Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity,
Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve
perfection
in the practice of tolerance and patience. Pad, the fourth syllable, helps to
achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the
practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve
perfection in the practice of wisdom.
So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the six
practices from generosity to wisdom. The path of these six perfections is the
path walked by all the Buddhas of the three times. What could then be more
meaningful than to say the mantra and accomplish the six perfections?
Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum,
out loud or silently to oneself, the embodiment of compassion, it is often
carved into stones, and placed where people can see them. written form of
Mantra on bracelets is also believed to give the same benefit as saying the
mantra.
