OM MANI PADME HUM PRAYER FLAGS

Description

Om Mani Padme Hum – the most common written and spoken Buddhist Mantra – meaning: the Jewel of the Lotus Flower.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama describes the meaning of Om Mani Padme Hum in these profound words: “It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum but while you are doing it you should be thinking on its meaning for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast… The first: Om, symbolizes the practitioner’s impure body, speech, and mind; it also symbolizes the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha.”

“The path is indicated by the next four syllables. Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method: (the) altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love.”

“The two syllables, padme, meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom.”

“Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility.”
