The meaning of each word of OM MANI PADME HUM
This mantra is believed to carry all of the teachings of the Buddha within it. Reciting this mantra helps to purify out body, speech, and mind.
- Om (ohm)- Om is the sound or “vibration” of the universe. This sound is the most important of all; but in the context of chanting and mantras, it is meant to destroy attachments to ego and establish generosity.
- Ma (mah)- Removes the attachment to jealousy and establishes ethics.
- Ni (nee)- Removes the attachment to desire and establishes patience.
- Pad (pahd)- Removes the attachment to prejudice and establishes perseverance.
- Me (meh)- Removes the attachment to possessiveness and establishes concentration.
- Hum (hum)- Removes the attachment to hatred and establishes wisdom.
Thus, Om Mani Padme Hum is literally reminding us that in order to live with purity, love and compassion ( in order to attain enlightenment), we should strive to be pure in our body, mind, and speech. If we follow the path of wisdom with love and compassion in our hearts and Spirit, Buddhahood will result.
In other words, the benefits of wearing and reciting the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra is that it reminds us to follow a wise path with love and compassion.
