"Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion."

The first syllable, [Om, Ohm, or Aum] is a mystical or sacred syllable in the Indian religions, i.e. Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.

Here I have juxtaposed a symbol of Buddhism with internet culture slang "Om Nom" which is associated with the eating of tasty things. It's also supported by a Buddhist figure about to "nom" on a delectable treat.

cute!

timpaint: This is not "the" actual Buddha but rather "Budai" which is simply a figure in Chinese folklore, so an actual Buddhist would likely not care or find it amusing. :)
