Finally broke down got my first. tibetan Buddhist OM Symbol (as opposed to the hindu Aum Symbol people usually see and associate with Indian Buddhists). It's meaning is really not that easily translated into english words since it has many many meanings. However, it basically the eqivalent of the buddhist word for God, however in buddhism there is no "god" per se. Life is controlled by karma and destiny, since your destiny is controlled by your actions towards yourself and others...etc..etc.. the OM sound is also usually used in mantras, that's why you hear buddhists chanting aaaauuuuummmm over and over.
I will probably continue up the arm to complete oM ma Ni padme hUM the most sacred Buddhist mantra.

P.S. Juicy the "reporter" documented the whole thing on video which i'm sure will be posted for those of you who have never seen it done...
