Om Mani Padme Hum is roughly translated as ‘The Jewel is in the Lotus’. The lotus is a symbol of creation. This is a mantra composed by one of the most revered Bodhisattvas (Avalokitesvara) – a person who delays his or her own enlightenment in order to guide other beings towards their Nirvana (escape from earthly suffering through compassion). Om is the essence of the 5 wisdoms and the primordial sound of the universe. This mantra is used to invoke compassion in the person saying it and is thought to protect from suffering and misfortune. Om is recited first as it is the essence of the 5 wisdoms. Mani is Jewel. Padme is lotus. Hum is recited last as it translates to ‘being mindful of this’.
