Dear Rich,


>I'm curious how people interpret the mantra, "OM Mani Padme Hum". I've
>also noticed it's spelt Aum instead of OM, any difference?


Lama Govinda wrote an entire book about that mantra, "Foundations of Tibetan
Mysticism". I highly recommend it. Many people prefer the translation AUM,
as it reflects the three-part nature of the word and life itself, birth,
sustaining life, and death, like the Hindu trinity.

Well, that's a start :)
