Melody of Compassion Mantra Dakini Melody of 2nd Karmapa: Om Mani Padme Hum

In this musical video, there is a brief explanation of the origin of the widespread practice and use of the six-syllable Om Mani Padme Hum mantra of compassion in 13th Century Tibet. The mantra and melody was given by dakinis to the Second Karmapa, Karma Pakshi (1204-1283). "He asked, “How should one recite it?” whereupon four ḍākinīs sang the tune in unison. The wisdom ḍākinī then said, “If subsequently one uses this tune for the mantra, then all who hear it will be greatly blessed, and it will be of great benefit to beings.” As the 17th Karmapa recently taught himself, the Mani mantra and the Karmapas’ connection with the deity of compassion, Avalokiteshvara, was present long before the mantra ‘Karmapa Khyenno’. In fact, it is said that the widespread practice and use of the six-syllable mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum originated with the 2nd Karmapa, Karma Pakshi in 13th Century Tibet. Originally recorded and published in 2024, this is an updated version with newly recorded vocals and musical arrangement. Video and subtitles creation: Adele Tomlin. Vocals: Adele Tomlin.
