Mantra meditation is one of the easiest and most accessible practices of Tibetan Buddhism.
Visualizing oneself as a Buddha or bodhisattva while reciting a mantra and making aspirations for the benefit of beings is a powerful way to connect to our own inner goodness and send love, compassion and wisdom to other beings.

You will learn the history of the famous Tibetan mantra OM MANI PADME HUM – the activity of the bodhisattva of compassion – and how mantra practice can help us in our daily lives.
