The Mantra 真言原文
Tibetan Script
ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ་ཧྲཱིཿ
Romanization
Om Mani Peme Hung Hri
Sanskrit
Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ Hrīḥ
Chinese 漢音
嗡瑪尼貝美吽舍
Meaning 意義
The seven-syllable heart mantra of Chenresig; the seed syllable Hrih at the end evokes the awakened nature of Avalokiteśvara
Ritual Use & Practice 修持法門
Used in Chenresig sadhana (deity yoga practice); more powerful than the six-syllable form for formal Chenresig practice
Background & Significance 背景與意義
The extended seven-syllable form of the Chenresig mantra adds the seed syllable Hrih (ཧྲཱིཿ), the heart-essence of Avalokiteśvara. Hrih represents the pure awareness that is the innate nature of mind — compassion that is simultaneously empty and luminous. This form is used in formal Chenresig retreat and deity yoga practice.
