Each of the six syllables is also associated with a specific realm of Buddhist existence and the quality that liberates beings from that realm.

The mantra is open to anyone who approaches it with respect and sincere intention. The Dalai Lama has said that the mantra's benefits extend to all beings, regardless of their religious background. The key is sincerity — reciting the mantra with genuine compassion for yourself and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many times should I recite the mantra?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traditional practice is to recite 108 repetitions per round (one full mala). Many practitioners complete one to three malas (108–324 recitations) per session. Advanced practitioners may recite thousands or tens of thousands of repetitions.
