Benefits of Reciting Om Mani Padme Hum Mantra

When you say “Om”, you are making the sound that represents purity. The purity of body, mind, and speech. You then say “Mani Padme Hum”. And these words represent the path.

Mani means to love and compassion.

Padme means the lotus and represents wisdom

Hum means enlightenment.

Put it together and you get:

“Purity of mind, body, and speech. Path. Love and compassion. Wisdom. Enlightenment.”

Translate this and it reads,

“Be pure in body mind and speech. Follow the path of wisdom with love and compassion. Buddhahood will result”.

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.
