"The goal which all the Vedas
declare, which all austerities aim at, and which
men desire when they lead the life of continence
… is OM. This syllable OM is indeed Brahman.
Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he
desires. This is the best support; this is the highest
support. Whosoever knows this support is adored
in the world of Brahma."
~ Katha Upanishad I

Shanti

Shanti (Pali: Santi) simply means
"peace". It's a beautiful meaning and
also a very beautiful sound. The shanti is repeated
three times, as are many chants in Buddhism. This
is generally interpreted as meaning the Threefold
Peace in body, speech, and mind (i.e. peace in the
entirety of one's being).
Hindu teachings typically end
with the words Om shanti shanti shanti as an invocation
of peace and the mantra is also used to conclude
some Buddhist devotional ceremonies.
