Dedicated to all Choy Lee Fut Chilean Brothers and in general to all the Chilean people, that are now suffering in consequence of the recent earthquakes.
Mantra of Compassion - OM MANI PADME HUM
Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara, the embodiment of compassion.
Viewing the written form of the mantra it is said to have the same effect -- it is often carved into stones and placed where people can see them.
Spinning the written form of the mantra around in a Mani wheel (or prayer wheel) is also believed to give the same benefit as saying the mantra, and Mani wheels, small hand wheels and large wheels with millions of copies of the mantra inside, are found everywhere in the lands influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.
It is said that all the teachings of the Buddha are contained in this mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum can not really be translated into a simple phrase or sentence.
