Gen Rinpoche's definition "The mantra Om Mani Päme 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. Pä, 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.
— Gen Rinpoche, Heart Treasure of the Enlightened Ones

Fifteen Major Benefits
1.In all lifetimes, one will meet with virtuous kings - religious kings like His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other virtuous leaders - and by being in such a place where there is a virtuous king one will have much opportunity to practice Dharma.
2.One will always be reborn in virtuous places where there is a lot of Dharma practice, where there are lots of temples, where one can make lots of offerings, where there a lot of holy objects, statues, stupas and so forth. Being in a place where there are all these holy objects gives one the opportunity to practice Dharma, to create the cause of happiness, to accumulate merit. And being in a place where there are many in the city doing practice inspires oneself to practice Dharma, the cause of happiness.
3.One will always meet with fortunate times and good conditions, which will help your Dharma practice. Having many good things happen it inspires you to practise Dharma, to receive teachings and to meditate.
4.One will always be able to meet with virtuous friends.
5.One will always receive a perfect human body.
6.One's mind will become familiar with the path, with virtue.
7.One will not allow one's vows, one's morality to degenerate.
8.People around you - family, Dharma students, people in the office, and so one - will be kind and harmonious with you.
9.You will always have wealth, the means of living.
10.You will always be protected and served by others.
11.Your wealth will not be stolen or taken away by others.
12.Whatever you wish will succeed.
13.You will always be protected by virtuous nagas and devas.
14.In all lifetimes, you will see Buddha and be able to hear the Dharma.
15.By listening to the pure Dharma, you will be able to actualise the profound meaning, emptiness.
It is said in the teachings that anybody who recites this mantra with compassion - devas or humans - will receive these virtues. In addition, the mantra has the power to heal many diseases and to protect from any harms.
The Benefits of Chanting OM MANI PADME HUM
Lama Zopa Rinpoche
When one who recites ten malas a day [Repeating this video 10 times = under an hour].... Such a person becomes meaningful to behold; being seen and touched becomes a means of liberating other sentient beings. This means that even the person's breath touching the bodies of other sentient beings purifies their negative karma.

Digital Prayer Wheels featured in this video:
"His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, has said that having the mantra on your computer works the same as a traditional Mani wheel. As the digital image spins around on your hard drive, it sends the peaceful prayer of compassion to all directions and purifies the area."
Music is an excerpt of Deva Premal.
