In Buddhist tradition, this mantra is used to invoke the compassionate intercession of the Bodhisattva Kuan Yin (in India, Avalokitesvara).

The ascended lady master Amaryllis, Goddess of Spring, has described the Om mani padme hum as “the hum of the universe.... The flowering of the spiritual lotus portends the opening of the soul who yearns to drink in God and his compassion.”[1]
