Shuya Nanahara says:

Finally, I’ve got an explanation of the very holy Buddish Mantra.
Dalai Lama, as usual, great and deep in his holy thoughts and brings
enlightenment to our darkened souls.

Om Mene Pedme Hum.

JAKE AWAKE says:

She is stupid to repeat something lots of times and not know why she is
doing it.
Clearly, she was told to do this. I’m delighted she has asked now. However,
I never
find HH helpful with my own journey. We are from different schools and it
should not
matter but his way of teaching fails to inspire me. I have found much
better teachers.

Wishing them both only well.

Here’s the best transcription I could do if anyone couldn’t understand it
well. The blanks are words I couldn’t catch and rather than write something
wrong I just left it blank.

Q: I have always been speaking the prayer: Om (Aum) Mani Padmi Hum. But
without actually knowing what it means. I have been asking this question to
many of my elders but I failed to get the answer. So, what does it mean?
A: Prayer. Also tradition of this mantra. Just as simply repeat this sound,
not much help. Particularity, Om Mani Padme Hum as one Buddhist mantra. So,
the whole Buddhist system is utilize human intelligence, maximum way so
that way transform our emotion. That’s Buddhist way approach. The other
tradition of the *__* religion manly through faith. Through prayer. Through
God. Through Creator. It is also immense powerful. Wonderful tactic (?).
All *__* tradition carries same message or same practice. That is practice
of love, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, self-discipline. Same. Then,
most of the *__* religions prayer is most important. Buddhist, Buddha
stated, “You are your own master. Your future entirely depends on
yourself.” So, in Buddhism, Buddha taught study is very, very important.
Knowledge is very important in order to utilize human intelligence fully.
We have to know how to use and in order to utilize you must know mental
function, mental system. These things. As I mentioned before. So, you pay
more attention. Study. What is Buddhist system? Then with understanding,
about the whole system, transformation of our mind. With that sort of clear
*___*. Full of knowledge and ultimate end and sincere motivation then carry
recitation of this mantra is very useful. Clear?
A: Om Mani Padme Hum. Of course, I don’t know if relevant explain here or
not, I don’t know. But you see the six syllables: Om. Ma.Ni.Pad.Me.Hum. So
Om (Aum) that sort of mantra is common. In Buddhist and many different
Hinduism. Om (Aum). But here Buddhist explain, Aum here is three letters,
A.U.M. That represent our body, mind, speech. So there *___* two levels.
Body, speech, mind. Impure level. That creates… that’s the basis of
suffering. So therefore, the experienced *__* pains and pleasure. The body,
mind. Mainly body, mind transform into pure pleasant, ever pleasant body,
mind. Body mind and in order to produce speech also. So that represent
A.U.M. OM (aum) represent impure level, impure part and pure part. Now how
to transform impure part into pure? Three impure, transform into pure
three. Then, mani and padme. Mani means jewel. Here jewel meaning altruism.
Infinite altruism. Then padme. Padme means wisdom. Altruism and wisdom
combined. That represents Hum. Hum carry meaning of combination altruism
and wisdom combined. Through that way, that proper way, method to purify
three impure in order to become pure three: body, speech, and mind.
Correct? Like that (Laugh).

Phenomenal! Put together Aristotelian metaphysics revised, plus
Aristotelian ethics, slightly revised, and the best of Judaism and
Christianity, also slightly revised, and, eventually, you meet Mahayana
Buddhism, slightly revised — and — you’re home! :-))) I just love it!

Joe Killian says:

He did not answer her question as to the meaning of Om Mani Padme Hum. It
means the Jewel is in the Lotus. It means the Lotus Sutra is specifically
of the highest importance and in that Sutra alone is it explained that all
things possess inherent Buddha Nature or have potential for Enlightenment.
The Sutra itself is the embodiment of the Mystic Law based on Cause and
Effect. 

Geoffrey E. McCool says:

First time I’ve ever heard an explanation of this commonly used mantra…Om
Mani Padme Hung. Thank you Holiness.

Ivan Boatwright says:

I was a christian but left many years ago. They were just as in the dark as
most of answers I read below. Individual meaning of words is less important
than lifestyle with others.

I still don’t understand. 

Deslife says:

This man is amazing. I never really understood the full meaning of
ommanipadmehung before.

Atul More says:

As I understood the meaning of Om Mani Padme Hum is – to achieve the
insight of selflessness or humanity by over coming sufferings of Body, Mind
and Speech. This is the only reality to achieve the love of all mankind in
the world.
