Shouldn't that be "om mani padme hum"?

(BTW, does anybody know exactly why KaTe used this in "Strange Phenomena"?
The very first time I heard the song I got really freaked out 'cause either
that day or the day before I'd finished reading Heinlein's _Fear No Evil_,
in which the "om mani padme hum" mantra is used quite a bit.  I'd never heard
the phrase before, and it was just a bit too much of a coincidence to read
the phrase for the first time and then suddenly hear it in a song about
strange phenomena)
