Mantra of OM MANI PADME HUM

All Buddhists believe that saying or practicing the mantra of chenrezi, the six syllables Om Mani Padme Hum, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. The first, OM is composed of three letters, A, U, and M. These symbolize the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; they also symbolize the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha.

The path to becoming enlightened is indicated by the next four syllables. Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method - the altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love. Padme means lotus and symbolizes wisdom. Growing out of mud, but not being stained by mud, lotus indicates the quality of wisdom, which keeps one out of contradiction. Hum, means and symbolizes inseparability, purity and can be achieved by the unity of method and wisdom.

Om Mani Padme Hum means that in dependence on the practice of a path, which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha.
