ॐ मणि पद्मे हूं — Complete Lyrics

ॐ मणि पद्मे हूं

Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation

ॐ मणि पद्मे हूं
Om Ma-ni Pad-me Hum
Om Mani Padme Hum cannot be translated into a simple phrase, but its essence is: "The jewel of enlightenment is in the lotus of the heart." Each of the six syllables purifies one of the six realms of existence — pride, jealousy, desire, ignorance, greed, and anger — and corresponds to one of the six perfections: generosity, ethics, patience, diligence, concentration, and wisdom.
