Om Mani Padme Hum…

This six syllabled mantra , the chant with which the Tibetan Buddhists  aspire to transform the impure body, speech, and mind of the individual into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha is associated with the Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva or the Compassionate Bodhisattva
