Om Mani Padme Hum




Overall Meaning

Om Mani Padme Hum is a sacred mantra and chant that holds profound meaning in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Eastern philosophies. The Deva Premal version of the chant is a beautiful rendition that captures the essence and power of the mantra. The chant means "salutations to the jewel in the lotus," and each word has its significance and symbolism. The first word, "Om," represents the universal sound of creation and consciousness. "Mani" means jewel or essence, and "Padme" means lotus or purity. "Hum" is a powerful word that represents unity and interconnectedness.


The essence of the chant is the union of the individual and the universe, symbolized by the jewel and the lotus. It is a reminder that we are all connected, and everything is interrelated. The lotus represents purity, and the jewel represents the essence of who we are. The chant encourages us to connect with our higher selves, which is the jewel within us. The Deva Premal version of the mantra is a beautiful and soulful rendition that captures the essence and power of the chant. The music is meditative, and her voice brings an incredible level of serenity and peacefulness to the listener.

2. COMPASSION 
OM MANI PADME HUM  Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus. 
Our potential is cultivated through confidence that the suffering of others can be eradicated. This produces unshakable self - belief and inner beauty. 
3. PURIFICATION 
OM BENZA SATTO HUNG (chanted 108 times by Deva Premal) 
Which is the short version of the 100 syllable Mantra (chanted by the monks): 
OM BENZA SATVO SA MA YA MA NU PALA YA BHENZA SATTO TENO PA TISHTHA DRIDHO ME BHAWA SUTOKHAYO ME BHAWA SUPOKHAYO ME BHAWA ANURAKTO ME BHAWA SARVA SIDDHI ME PRAYACCHA SARVA KARMA SUTSA ME TSITTAM SHREYANG KURU HUNG HA HA HA HA HO BHAGWAN SARVA TATHAGATA BENZA MA ME MUCCHA BHENZE BHAWA MAHA SAMAYASATTVA AH HUNG PHET.  
Buddha of Purification within me, embodying all the Buddhas, please protect my resolve to purify all my karmas and always bestow on me the ability to make my mind good, virtuous, auspicious and immeasurably loving with the indestructible strength of a diamond.     
Even though our potential remains obscure in the darkness of negativity, it need not be permanent. This mantra helps transform negative karma created over many lifetimes.  
4. BUDDHA 
OM MUNI MUNI MAHA MUNI SO HA  To the teacher, teacher, the great teacher, I pay homage. 
Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, cast as the overall teacher of the tradition, illustrates the point that without a good teacher in the beginning there can be no success in spiritual training. Reciting this mantra therefore helps us find a good teacher to lead us towards clarity of mind and ultimately discovery of our own pure consciousness which is the real guru.  
5. PERFECTION  
TEYATA GATE GATE PARAGATE PARA SAMGATE BODHI SO HA.  Gone, gone, gone far beyond to the awakened state.  
The path that takes us to enlightenment comprises the six arts of perfection. This mantra helps us to be generous, patient, conscientious, diligent, focused and wise.  
 
6. WHITE TARA (Long Life) 
OM TARE TU TARE TURE MAMA  AH YUH PUNE JANA PUTIM KURU SO HA. The liberator of suffering shines light upon me to create an abundance of merit and wisdom for long life and happiness. 
Long life and good health for oneself and others is sought through recitation of this mantra thus making one’s life and particularly the spiritual journey meaningful.  
7. WISDOM 
OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI DHI DHI.....  Amidst the chaos, everything is pure by nature.  
The pinnacle of spiritual success is to achieve enlightenment. This depends on recognition of our potential. The mantra confirms that each of us has the capacity to replace ignorance with wisdom. 
8. HEALING 
TEYATA OM BEKANZE BEKANZE MAHA BEKANZE BEKANZE RADZA SAMUT GATE SO HA.    I invoke the healing buddha inside me by going all the way to the supreme heights to remove the pain of illness and spiritual ignorance. 
The practical purpose of spirituality is to help others deal with their various life issues. Sickness represents a major problem. Reciting this mantra may contribute to healing on many levels adding to the effectiveness of medical treatment and medicines. 
9. PROSPERITY 
OM ZAMBALA ZA LEN RAYE SO HA.  I pay homage to the god of fortune. 
Without material comforts humans face difficulty in finding happiness so this mantra calls for wealth energy to be created. It can help one to find success in work or business.    
10. DEDICATION  
Wishing others to enjoy the benefit of one’s work is the way one’s spiritual practice concludes in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

In 1998, my father died of cancer, in hospice in my home city. The day before his death, I was driving home at night after that day's visit with him, and feeling wretched, knowing that his time was near. The first track of this music came on the radio, and it stunned me, in how it lifted me somehow, out of my wretchedness and seemed to show me another level of understanding. On the surface, this music sounds almost grotesque, but to me, at that time, it was the perfect piece, the perfect harmony, to see me through the pain of losing a loved one.

@kbgirel6965

That's because you have karma to hear Buddha's teaching in this life, do not waste your time and find a nearest monastery/centre and receive teachings

@JoaoZamae

This is amazing.
Nobody should doubt the strenght of these mantras.
Sound is capable of organizing everything, especially our thoughts and, consequently, our mind.
Tashi Delek!

@lornemcneil

why not tell them every thing ,about form in us all /?
sound does not dictate free will or thought but it does form

@vickieth6868

Man I thought I was a hippie. Look at life expectancy around the world and model your lifestyle after a combination of the healthiest people on the planet. Tibetans are not very long lived even with their chanting try vitamins and supplements maybe. But hey there lifespan has just gone up from 35 look out.

@lornemcneil

***** it organises through frequency ,mutibule the more complex the form

- This is the sweetest and most intense piece of tibet chants I've heard so far. I'm so happy to experience them. I think I will come back to them more than once. They are so uplifting and helpful. I have to share them with my friends and family.
And also a revealing fact is that I can see that animals like them too : they gather in the room, quietly sit and listen, some of them in an almost yoga-like silent position : cats !

@meditativewanderer251

The more you practice the more you enjoy creation. Keep going. No fear, ALL REWARD. 🙏🙏🙏🌍

@Evilsubscriber

"Perfection" is really perfect, thank you Deva Premal and Tibetan monks for inspiring us buddhists of all the schools.
