Om Mani Padme Hum

A movie version of a prayer wheel, spinning OM MANI PADME HUM, while a Tibetan Gelugpa monk chants the mantra as well (as people have pointed out, the Tibetan pronunciation is OM MANI PEME HUNG). The benefits of this kind of prayer are quite amazing.

i was wondering what does this Om Mani Padme Hum mean? could somone please tell me

[lgstarn]

Google om mani padme hum. The first link that comes up has a good explanation.

[xtom1973]

one question:

in what exactly do you believe when you get rid of this?

[lgstarn]

Whatever you say you believe in. It isn't the end of the world if you choose to get rid of a mantra like "om mani padme hum." The world is just more beautiful with this way.

Om and hum are sacred sounds, mani means jewel, and padme means lotus. The "jewel within the lotus" refers to universal compassion, "the wish fulfilling jewel", that everyone has. Chant as a proxy to help all living beings find happiness and in the process you will find happiness too.

That's it.

No need for strife.

good reaction! :))

well, after problems with my teethes is stopped doing the deep-meditation sort of things years ago and never did it again. but it was very nice.

[lgstarn]

ok, best wishes to you! :-) I don't quite understand what you mean, but I hope you are able to experience good meditation again soon.

I love this.

Buena forma de cantar este mantra tan poderoso. Nosotros lo practicamos aspirando y alargando las vocales con cada sílaba, así logramos una profunda relajación. Bendiciones

[heheCRAZYhehe]

@kessest I'm pretty sure it means; om to the Jewel in the Lotus(=
