Om Mani Padme Hum(ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ) is probably the best-known mantra in Tibetan Buddhism. It is attributed to the Bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig in Tibetan), and is a central element of the spiritual practice of many Buddhists. The mantra consists of six syllables, each of which has a deeper symbolic meaning:

1. Om(ཨོཾ་) - Purifies pride and ego
2. Ma(མ་) - Purifies jealousy and desire for pleasure
3. Ni(ཎི་) - Purifies passion and desire
4. Pad(པད་) - Purifies stupidity and prejudice
5. Me(མེ་) - Purifies poverty and possessiveness
6. Hum(ཧཱུྃ་) - Purifies hatred and aggression

Together, the mantra stands for the transformation of the impurities of the mind into the wisdom and compassion of an enlightened being.
