     Om Mani Padme Hum is the most widely used of all Buddhist mantras. It is open to anyone who feels inspired to practice it to develop great love and compassion. 

     This mantra originated in India and it is in Sanskrit. Once, Buddha Shakyamuni was dwelling at the monastery of Anathapindika, in Jeta Grove, with his disciples. He introduced this remarkable Six-Syllable Mantra to the assembly and said: "This is the most beneficial mantra. Even I made this aspiration to all the million Buddhas and subsequently received this mantra from Buddha. 

     The six syllables, Om Ma ni Padme Hum, means that through the practice of a path that is a union of love and compassion with wisdom. It can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. 

     The merits of reciting this Mantra are limitless and cannot be fully described even by the Buddha. It is said that the sand of the Ganges and the drops of water in the ocean can be counted but not the merits from the recitation of this Mantra. This Mantra is the great love and compassion manifestation of all the Buddhas. It helps us to develop the love and compassion to make our life full of meaning. 

     Also, this mantra can bring healing and can be used as a prayer for other sentient beings.
