And therefore, it is almost impossible to translate into any phrase or sentence. Allegorically, it is translated as "Pearl shining in a lotus flower." Each syllable of this mantra has its own sacred meaning. The six syllables of the "Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum" hum mantra contain the perfection of six paramitas: The first syllable “Om” of blessings glorifies us in order to achieve excellence in the practice of charity. The syllable “Ma" helps to improve practice in achieving purity of morality, ethics and awareness. "No" helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance. “Pad” helps to achieve perfection in perseverance. “Me” is the achievement of perfection in the practice of concentration and meditation. “Hum” is the achievement of excellence in the practice of wisdom. >>> The repetition of this mantra, symbolically depicted on the Dzi bead of the dragon's eye, helps to achieve perfection in these six practices from generosity to wisdom. In this way the Buddha went to his enlightenment. The same path is also relevant at present for those who wish to achieve enlightenment and get out of a continuous series of births and deaths. >>> The six syllables of the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra also help get rid of the suffering that awaits us at the six levels of being. "Om" - clears from the neurotic attachment to bliss and from pride. "Ma" - from jealousy and thirst for entertainment. "None" - from passions and desires. "Pad" - from stupidity and prejudice. "Me" - from an irresistible thirst for possessiveness. "Hum" - from anger and hatred. >>> Thus, by practicing this mantra one can transform an imperfect body, speech and mind into a pure body, speech and perfect mind of Buddha.
