The six-syllable great bright mantra is a Buddhist dharani. A dharani of Avalokiteshvara composed of 6 Sanskrit syllables, it is also called the six-letter mantra because it comprises six letters in Tibetan. It is frequently chanted particularly by Buddhists in Tibetan Buddhist regions such as Tibet and Mongolia.
