is the six-syllabled Sanskrit mantra particularly associated with the
four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of
compassion.
Om (ཨོཾ):
These symbolize the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; they
also symbolize the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha.
Mani (མ་ཎི): Meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method—the altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love.
Padme (པདྨེ):
Meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom, just as a lotus grows forth from mud
but is not sullied by the faults of mud, so wisdom is capable of putting
you in a situation of non-contradiction whereas there would be
contradiction if you did not have wisdom.
Hung (ཧཱུྃ): Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable Hung.
Recite this mantra as much as you can.
