In the esoteric Buddhist cultural sphere (China-Tibet-Japan) it is traditional to wear this rotating pendant around your neck, on which is engraved the mantra of compassion "om mani padme hum" as an amulet of protection and blessing for the all sentient beings. According to Tibetan Buddhism, reciting the Chenrezi mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, aloud or inwardly, is an invocation of the benevolent and powerful mindfulness of Chenrezig, an expression of the Buddha's compassion. Seeing the written mantra can have the same effect, which is why it is found in clearly visible places, even engraved in stone. He can also be invoked using prayer wheels on which the mantra is inscribed, sometimes thousands of times. There are different sizes of prayer wheels: there are those that you can carry with you and turn with one hand, and there are others that are so big and heavy that you need several people to spin them. According to Tibetan Buddhist monks, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum (Hung) alone brings together all of the Buddha's teachings. Each syllable closes a door to reincarnation: OM: Closes the door to the world of the Devas (gods). MA: Close the door to the world of the asuras (demi-gods). NI: Close the door to the human world. PAD: Close the door to the animal world. ME: Close the door to the world of pretas ("greedy spirits"). HUNG: Shut the gate to hell. Each syllable purifies a veil: OM: purifies the veil of the body. MA: purifies the veil of speech. NI: purifies the veil of the mind. PAD: purifies the veil of contradictory emotions. ME: purifies the veil of substantial existence. HUNG: purifies the veil that covers knowledge. Each syllable is a mantra in itself: OM: for the body of the Buddhas. MA: for the words of the Buddhas. NI: for the spirit of the Buddhas. PAD: for the virtues of the Buddhas. ME: for the accomplishments of the Buddhas. HUNG: for the grace of body, speech, mind, virtue and all the accomplishments of the Buddhas. Each syllable corresponds to one of the six paradigms or transcendental perfections: OM: generosity. MA: ethics. NI: tolerance. PAD: perseverance. ME: concentration. HUNG: discernment. Each syllable is also linked to a Buddha: OM: Ratnasambhava. MA: Amaoghasiddi. NI: Vajradhara PAD: Vairocana. ME: Amitabha. HUNG: Akshobya. Each syllable of the mantra purifies us of a defect: OM: pride. MA: the desire / the desire to have fun. NI: passionate desire. PAD: stupidity / prejudice. ME: poverty / possessiveness. HUNG: aggression / hatred. Finally, each syllable corresponds to one of the six wisdoms: OM: the wisdom of stability. MA: all-fulfilling wisdom NI: self-emanating wisdom PAD: all-embracing wisdom (dharma) ME: discriminating wisdom HUNG: mirror-like wisdom.
