Part of the practice of Om Mani Padme Hum is saying it as often as possible, but sometimes it’s hard to remember. That’s why many Buddhists use reminders to keep them on top of their chanting. Things like prayer wheels, prayer flags, and bracelets all keep you thinking about the meaning of life- and the importance of finding deeper happiness.
