Premium Masala Incense from Song of India - Samsara

The mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" has deep significance within Buddhism, especially in Mahayana Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism. This mantra is associated with the teaching and practice of compassionate and wise action.

Each word in this mantra has a specific meaning:

"Om" (or also "Aum"): This is the sound with which many sacred teachings in Hinduism and Buddhism begin. It symbolizes the fundamental reality, the universe and all beings.

"Mani": This means "jewel" or "pearl". It represents wisdom and renunciation. Like a gem, wisdom can be found within every being.

"Padme". The lotus is a symbol of purity and enlightenment. Here it symbolizes the path to enlightenment that begins in adverse conditions but eventually leads to the uncovering of inner enlightenment.

"Hum": this is the sound that ends this mantra. It represents non-duality, the understanding that different aspects are combined into one.

The entire mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" therefore symbolizes the path to enlightenment, which includes wisdom and compassion for other beings. Practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism often repeat this mantra as a way of meditation and a way to remind themselves of the basic teachings of Buddhism, such as compassion and wisdom.
