Om Mani Padme Hum Means Enlightenment

The pathway to enlightenment is expressed through the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum.

Essentially, what Om Mani Padme Hum is saying is that if you want to achieve the highest state of your being, you must live an enlightened life, speaking, acting, and behaving in an enlightened way, with love and compassion for all. This is the way to your highest self.

Nothing is more important than compassion.

Compassion is everything.

As the Dalai Lama said,

“We can live without religion, but we cannot live without human compassion”. That’s why we need to do our all to make sure that we are compassionate to everyone.

We must act in an enlightened (noble and pure) way in body, mind, and speech.

Only by being accountable for our own actions can we really be to make a positive impact in the world.
