Great Compassion Mantra
Great Compassion Mantra meditation utilizes the ancient Buddhist mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum which means “manifest the jewel in the heart of the lotus.” This ancient chant is renowned for its ability to open the heart and cultivate deep compassion for oneself and others.
Om Mani Padme Hum
As you recite this mantra, see each word as moving out from the jewel in the lotus of your own heart center in a clockwise spiral. Visualize the words as being made of blue-white light with the spiral expanding as it moves out, filling all space as far as you can imagine.
Om Mani Padme Hum - Great Compassion Mantra
Om Mani Padme Hum is the essential mantra of Avalokiteshvara who is known as the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Out of his great concern for others he grew ten heads to see in all the ten directions and one thousand arms so he could help free beings in all the various conditions of suffering.
This mantra is recited by monks, lamas, and lay practitioners all over the world to invoke and make compassion available to people in all walks of life and all sentient beings in every conceivable circumstance.
