<upd_detl>Only marginally Buddhist. The 唵 is a bit peripheral; I'd be happy with it just being in a note.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I disagree with the removal of the Buddhism tag due to the above note. It also seems to be used in Tibetan Buddhism.
I think オーム should be in a separate entry, because it's not the reading of this kanji according to the entries on Kotobank.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>The explanation in Daijisen begins: "《〈梵〉oṃの音写》インドの宗教や哲学で、神聖で神秘的な意味をもつとされる語。" before going on to the "仏教でも...". It's primarily used in Hindu and related contexts, and from there it leaked into Tibetan Buddhism. I don't think it's primarily a Buddhist term which is why I dropped the tag.
唵 is really an ateji, assigned to the syllable in China because it sort-of matched the sound. Its precise readings in Japanese, where it's a very rare kanji, are not that relevant to this word.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>We don't usually tag 音写 and we usually don't use katakana for them. I'm not seeing a strong case for オウム being read 唵 - 
it's not in any of the kokugos and I don't think the 新英和大辞典 is necessarily saying it's read that way either?

koj and daijr mention its used in mikkyo. It's a little weird to suggest that 唵[おん] is used by Hinduists when that's most 
likely not the case - even in Japanese, I'd assume they say オウム rather than おん. but I'm speculating.

unclear if uk or not.</upd_detl>

all just have 唵 おん
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0_(%E8%81%96%E9%9F%B3)
wiki doesn't suggest 唵 can be read オーム either.
