Is there a guide for how to actually write "om mani padme hum" in Tibetan, stroke by stroke?
Some of the letter forms are a bit complicated.
Thanks!

Re: How to write the mani in Tibetan?
Tibetan characters in Uchen script are written from left to right, and from top to bottom. This is one example, of an "Ah Chen" or "Big Ah."

རྟོག་གེའི་ཡུལ་མིན་བླ་མའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།
སྐལ་ལྡན་ལས་འཕྲོ་ཅན་གྱིས་རྟོགས་པ་སྟེ།
དེ་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ལ་ནི་ལོ་རྟོག་སེལ།།

It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.
Like this, mistaken ideas of discriminating wisdom are clarified."
