This is the famous Mani mantra of lovingkindness, also somewhat of a protection, pronounced Om Ma Ni Pehme Hum.

The Tibetan letters here (often mistaken for Sanskrit) have been highlighted with the vowel signs in red, there is also an addition of a 'heading' character the double swirls at the start of the mantra.

	Very nice calligraphy! True, this is not Sanskrit, but the reason people confuse is because they do have things in common, the horizontal line, and one can see similarities in many characters like the na and ma.

	i'm not a fan of any non-english characters since no one else knows what the hell it says but the black and red look great together.
