The six-syllable mantra Om Mani Padme Hum (Tib. Om Mani Peme Hung) is the most popular mantra in Tibetan Buddhism and has been chanted for over 1500 years. The mantra can originally be found in the Kāraṇḍavyūha Sūtra and is associated with the deity Avalokiteśvara (Tbt. Chenrezig) whose name means something like “Lord of the World.” The mantra itself has many different meanings associated with it, but most commonly it is translated as something like “Hail the Jewel in the Lotus.” This phrase is an homage to the great “jewel” of primordial awareness (Buddhanature) that exists within the hearts of all sentient beings. May all beings thrive under the watchful eyes of compassion.
