SYLLABLES

Om Ah Hum

These sacred sanskrit syllables, written here in Tibetan script, symbolize enlightened body , speech and mind. Visualized and/or recited, they serve to purify the karma associated with the deluded actions of our body, speech and mind. These syllables are also customarily written on the back of every thangka, positioned at the crown, throat, and heart of the deity
