Jewel of
Enlightenment is in the Heart Lotus
(Translation for the "Om Mani Padme
Hung" mantra)
The Tibetan hung is one of the
best known Tibetan symbols and a part of the ancient Tibetan mantra - "Om Mani Padme Hum" or "Om Mani Padme Hung". According to
the Tibetans, Buddha's instructions for enlightenment are concealed
inside this mantra.
The "Om Mani Padme Hung" mantra helps us to detach ourselves from the
illusion of words and sounds that surrounds us. It helps us to see the
words as they really are - empty.
