Meaning of the Mantra:
Om mani padme hum
14th Dalai Lama
"om mani padme hūṃ", written in Tibetan script on a rock outside the Potala Palace in Tibet
"It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you
should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast...
The first, Om [...] symbolizes the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; it also
symbolizes the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha[...]"
"The path is indicated by the next four syllables. Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the
factors of method: (the) altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and
love.[...]"
"The two syllables, padme, meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom[...]"
"Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by
the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility[...]"
"Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean
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[...]" -
Thoughts to be had whilst chanting transcribed in simplification keeping essence:
Being and non-beings proliferate loving compassion and indivisible intelligent equanimity; Om
Mani Padme Hum.

Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ[1]
(Sanskrit: ओं मणिपदे्म ह ं, IPA: m ip d me ]) is the six-syllabled
Sanskrit mantra particularly associated with the four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteshvara
(Tibetan Chenrezig, Chinese Guanyin), the bodhisattva of compassion. Mani means "jewel" or
"bead" and Padma means "the lotus flower", the Buddhist Sacred Flower.
It is commonly carved onto rocks or written on paper which is inserted into prayer wheels, said
to increase the mantra's effects.
Meaning
Mantras may be interpreted by practitioners in many ways, or even as mere sequences of sound
whose effects lie beyond strict meaning.
The middle part of the mantra, maṇipadme, is often interpreted as "jewel in the lotus," Sanskrit
maṇí "jewel, gem, cintamani" and the locative of padma "lotus", but according to Donald Lopez
it is much more likely that maṇipadme is in fact a vocative, not a locative, addressing a
bodhisattva called maṇipadma, "Jewel-Lotus"- an alternate epithet of the bodhisattva
Avalokitesvara.[4]
It is preceded by the oṃ syllable and followed by the hūṃ syllable, both
interjections without linguistic meaning.
Lopez also notes that the majority of Tibetan Buddhist texts have regarded the translation of the
mantra as secondary, focusing instead on the correspondence of the six syllables of the mantra to
various other groupings of six in the Buddhist tradition.[5]
For example, in the Chenrezig
Sadhana, Tsangsar Tulku Rinpoche expands upon the mantra's meaning, taking its six syllables
to represent the purification of the six realms of existence:[6]
