Om Mani Padme Hum Bracelet Tibetan

Om Mani Padme Hum is an ancient & sacred buddhist mantra believed to summarize all Buddhist teachings into one phrase.  

Improve your mind, body, and spirit by chanting this mantra.

Chanting this mantra will imbue the meditator with purity of mind and spirit: desire to become enlightened, wisdom of the path, and invulnerability to distractions from the path of enlightenment. This is the meaning of this mantra-- as described by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Mantras are an ancient and revered method of focusing the mind body and spirit.

What does this mantra mean?

OM - The syllable OM signifies the pure mind, body and spirit of a Buddha. Through meditation on this syllable we can transform our impure mind body and spirit to match the nature of the buddha.

MANI - Mani is the altruistic desire to become enlightened. The fuel that will carry us to our higher path.

PADME - Padme, meaning lotus, symbolizes wisdom. The lotus grows from the mud, but still it is a beautiful flower. This is the essence of alchemy --turning lead into gold, mud into beauty. Through wisdom we can create great circumstances out of less ideal ones.

HUM - this syllable signifies the inseparability of the other elements. By repeating this mantra and contemplating these different elements of a meditation practice, we invoke the ingredients necessary to obtain progress & enlightenment.
