I use this slide in my presentation on an introduction to Buddhism

OM MANI PADME HUM

* OM, composed of three sound A, U, and M, stands for the practitioner's impure body,

speech, and mind; they also symbolize the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of an enlightened person, a Buddha * MANI ( jewel) symbolizes the altruistic intention to become enlightened

* PADME (lotus) a symbol of wisdom * HUM indicates indivisibility.

"Thus the six syllables, OM MANI PADME HUM, mean

that by the practice of a path which is an indivisible union

of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure

body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body,

speech, and mind of a Buddha. "
