What are some chants that people recite to make wishes come true?

Many people use the mantra of the Compassionate Buddha made up of the words, "Om Mani Padme Hum," meaning "Hail to the jewel in the lotus," to achieve their desires. The Brahma mantra, "Om Eim Hrim Shrim Klim Sauh Sat Chid Ekam Brahma," is also said to grant success.

According to Buddhist tradition, reciting a specific mantra 108 times a day while concentrating on its sounds allows the words to sink into the subconscious mind and brings about the best results for achieving enlightenment. When possible, recite the mantras in their original Sanskrit language, because they were designed with the vibration of particular sound waves in mind to promote healing, insight, creativity and spiritual growth.
