# Om mani padme hum

Om mani padme hum is a six-syllabled Sanskrit mantra particularly associated Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. It is in Tibetan Buddhism, the most ubiquitous mantra and the most popular form of religious practice, performed by laypersons and monastics alike.

## Quotes

* Om Mani Padme Hum, the sunrise comes! The Dewdrop Slips Into The Shining Sea!
** Sir Edwin Arnold, The Light of Asia (1879)
* We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us Sure 'nuff, he has the answer He has the answer He has the answer be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh Om mani padme Om mani padme Om mani padme hum.
** Kate Bush, in "Strange Phenomena" on The Kick Inside (1977)
* It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast. The first, 'Om is composed of three letters, A, U, and M. These symbolize the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; they also symbolize the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. Can impure body, speech, and mind be transformed into pure body, speech, and mind, or are they entirely separate? All Buddhas are cases of beings who were like ourselves and then in dependence on the path became enlightened; Buddhism does not assert that there is anyone who from the beginning is free from faults and possesses all good qualities. The development of pure body, speech, and mind comes from gradually leaving the impure states and their being transformed into the pure. How is this done? The path is indicated by the next four syllables.
** Tenzin Gyatso, the (14th Dalai Lama), in A Talk on OM MANI PADME HUM, Shambhala Publications, (Autumn 2002)

# Mysticism

Mysticism (from the Greek μυστικός, mystikos, an initiate of a mystery religion) is the pursuit of communion with, identification with, or conscious awareness of an ultimate Reality, Divinity, spiritual Truth, or God through direct experience or insight. Mysticism usually centers on a practice or practices intended to nurture those experiences of awareness. Mysticism may be monistic, dualistic, nondualistic, or ontologically pluralistic. Differing religious, social and psychological traditions have described this fundamental mystical experience in many different ways. The words "mystical" and "mysticism", though commonly used by mystics to affirm extraordinary insights beyond all expression, and thus impossible to communicate to others, have also sometimes been used in a presumptive sense which insists that others must believe and accept what aspects of the experiences can be communicated, or in an entirely pejorative sense, strongly related to rejection of such authoritarian claims.

## Quotes

* From each a mystic silence Love demands.
** Attar, "Intoxicated by the Wine of Love", as translated by Margaret Smith from the Jawhar Al-Dhat in Readings from the Mystics of Islām (1950) by Margaret Smith, p. 85
** Variant translation, in Essential Sufism, by James Fadiman and Robert Frager: "From each, Love demands a mystic silence."
* Mystics understand the roots of the Tao but not its branches; scientists understand its branches but not its roots. Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science; but man needs both.
** Fritjof Capra, in The Tao of Physics : An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism (1975), Epilogue, p. 306
* A mystic is a man who separates heaven and earth even if he enjoys them both.
** G. K. Chesterton, William Blake (1920)

## Quotes

* I think I've learned that people can be different and that people have always their excuses or the reasons behind their differences and that we one of the things that I've learned is to always accept differences and accept that everybody is entitled for their the way they think and behave and that it is all has roots to their environment and their genetic make-up too

* people on Wheelchairs or people who are using Crutches or even sensory disabilities they're much easier to deal with because they have normal intelligence and they would function well at the school and so on. I feel that the people with cognitive disabilities pose the biggest challenges so, I always feel that we have to not marginalize them, but actually include them and make sure that their needs are met in any setting.
* I will actually first try to make them understand what is it like to have a disability and that everyone anyone is prone to have a disability so, we can't be looking down upon people with disabilities just to understand what it means to have a disability and then probably I will encourage them to to to push for equal opportunity for everybody to be the ones who ask for people with every type of disability to be included in society, included in universities, included in everything the planning for the curriculum and so on; so, I think the students who have this type of ability to push for that.
