Om Mani Padme hum..!!!



The Mani mantra is the most widely used of all Buddhist mantras, and open to anyone who feels inspired to practice it -- it does not require prior initiation by a lama (meditation master).

The six syllables of the mantra, as it is often pronounced by Tibetans -- Om Mani Padme Hum -- are here written in the Tibetan alphabet:

Reading from left to right the syllables are:
Om (ohm)  
Ma
(mah)  
Ni
(nee) 
Pad 
(pahd)
Me
(may)  
Hum (hum)
