Om Ma Ni Padme Hum


                        


OM MANI PADMA HUM
MANTRA OF AVALOKITESHVARA 

OM MANI PEME HUNG
THE MANTRA OF CHENREZIG (Quan Am) 
OM purifies pride – the god’s realm,

MA purifies jealousy – the realm of demi-gods,

NI purifies desire / attachment – the human realm,

PE purifies stupidity – the animal realm,

ME transforms greed – the realm of hungry ghosts,

HUNG transforms hate and anger – the hell realm.

The famous mantra of Chenrezig, written in Tibetan script. It is said that all the teachings of the Buddha are contained in this mantra. Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), out loud or silently to oneself, invokes his powerful benevolent attention. Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect, and it is often carved into stones, placed where people can see them. It is the sound or vibration which activates him and his energy field and develops in the one who recites or hears it, all of Chenrezig’s qualities; the loving kindness and compassion of all Buddhas.
