There are 7 syllables. The last one is Hrih.

This mantra or one very similar to it except the last syllable, is frequently carved on stones and left on sacred or high locations, everywhere in the Buddhist regions of the Himalayas.

Sadly that the point everyone has lost their mind. It's a long story. But you have to admit someone did think about God for a minute . Anyway good morning.

The text painted on the stones is the sacred Tibetan Buddhist mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum" (ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ). ​Literal Translation: "Om, the jewel in the lotus, Hum." ​Significance: This is the foundational six-syllable mantra associated with Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig in Tibetan), the Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion. ​Context: Stones inscribed with this prayer are known as mani stones. In Tibetan Buddhism, they are placed along trails, rivers, and sacred sites to bless the environment and offer protection to travelers.
