Mantras

Meditation on sound

Mantras are interpreted by many people as sequences of sound syllables whose effects go beyond any literal meaning. The Mantra of Compassion is regarded as the most beneficial of all mantras and the physical effects of listening to the mantra, or better, chanting it yourself, are truly profound.

The sound syllables sung in the video below are:

Om mani peme hung

Note that mani is sung in a sustained way, repeating the "ah" sound.
