Extract from ABC News:
OM MANI PADME HUM, the most popular of mantras, is the heart mantra of the Buddha of Compassion whom we call Chenrezig, Avalokiteshvara, or Kuan Yin. Reciting this simple six-syllable mantra brings profound blessings to the one who recites, and any sentient beings that person encounters.
Our Guru, Lama Zopa Rinpoche says:
"The benefits of reciting the Compassion Buddha mantra are infinite, like the limitless sky."
When one recites ten malas of OM MANI PADME HUM, "Such a person becomes meaningful to behold; being seen and touched becomes a means of liberating other sentient beings. This means that even the person's breath touching the bodies of other sentient beings purifies their negative karma. Anybody who drinks the water in which such a person has swum gets purified."

Wishing all friends a Happy Vesak 2010!
