Om Mani Padme Hum Hri

Om Mani Padme Hum Hri, the mantra of compassion, is the primary mantra that was used in Prayer Wheels in Tibet since the 7th Century. As a result, Prayer Wheels were known as Mani Wheels. Not only was this mantra used in prayer wheels, it was chanted continuously as a kind of national slogan, carved in rocks at the sides of the roads and paths through the Himalayas, and incorporated into the mindscape of the people as a fundamental principle of life.
