THE MEANING OF OM MANI PADME HUM.

Saturday, 25 February 2012

Om Mani Padme Hum is a Sanskrit mantra, the mantra is considered for the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (Avalokiteshvara) mantras and is the oldest and most important of Tibetan Buddhism. It also is known as the " Six True Words Minh Tu Dai " means "bright legs language consists of six words."

Om: The fate

Mani: The Heart of like mind

Padme: Inside Shower

Hum: Self accomplishment.

According to the Sino-Vietnamese pronunciation, this sentence is pronounced um bowl ma ni ni ni Alma bowl of pink or red love.

Usually people are not taught the mantra, but here should be added that: "Jade you" expression for Bodhi mind (bodhicitta). "Lotus" only the human mind, the meaning is the Bodhi mind hatch in the human heart. But the mantra has separate audio and effects mysterious manner of presentation of Tibetan Buddhism. For Tibetan Buddhism is Om Mani Padme Hum is great compassion, to reach Nirvana for the sake of sentient beings. Thus the six syllables of this mantra is also considered corresponds to the six realms of rebirth of sex education.

The mantra is the manifestation of sound from the emptiness. It is the authentic sound of the vacuum.

Derived from the concept of absolute truth and the empty state, the mantra does not exist. No sound or mantra. Sound and mantra, like all the different forms of expression, both in the realm of the relative position appeared empty. In the realm of relativity, although the sound itself can not be real, it still has the power to appoint, name, and has operations in mind.

Within the relative place of action, the mantra is endowed with a capacity not misleading.

The mantra is usually the names of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or divine. For example, OM MANI PADME HUM (Alma - BAT MOBILE HONG NI) is calling him Quan Yin (Chenrezig). From the absolute point of view, Chenrezig has no name, but within the relative significance or literally, that he is their own name. These names are mediated by compassion, looks elegant, and powerful with his wish to benefit beings. By reciting to his qualities of mind are transmitted to us. Here, the interpretation of the capacity benefits of the mantra, his name; as we identify ourselves with and what their names associated with it, also in this way, on the relative level, the god Notes consistent with the gods. Both become the only reality. When a mantra, he received the gods seem elegant; envisioned by the gods, she gods, who received mantra seems no different elegance of the saints.

The mantra OM MANI PADME HUM is sometimes explained with the meaning and mystical fancy. However, as we have said, this is simply the name of the Bodhisattva is placed between two sounds and sacred tradition, OM and HUM.

- OM: symbolizes the body of Buddha, the mantra starts with this sound.
- MANI: means treasure

- PADME: pronunciation in Sanskrit, or PEME in Tibetan, meaning lotus

- HUM: symbolizing mind Buddha and all is usually the last sentence of the mantras.
- MANI: talk about jewels that Bodhisattva holding in both hands between and PADME is lotus in his left hand holding things second. When called MANI PADME is called his name Guanyin Bodhisattva through his virtues.

When we chant, in fact we are continuing to repeat his name Guanyin Bodhisattva. On the other hand, when the concept mantra OM MANI PADME HUM is more meaningful, because this is the mantra of grace and power of his mind had collected Quan grace and compassion of all Buddhas and Bo Tat. In this perspective, the mantra is endowed with the ability to unlock the dark mind, and purify our minds. Mantra expanding consciousness of love and compassion, leading to enlightened awareness.

The bodhisattva and mantra is a possible cause, that is a mantra that people may not need to imagine, imagine. Mantra is to be effective.
authentic qualities of each sound in the six syllables of the mantra is explained a great fit.
First, let us see each sound to help us close the door on pain of rebirth, one of six realms of cyclic existence:

- OM closed doors rebirth in heaven;
- MA, door god realm, A-tu-la
- NI, the door to the human realm
- PAD, the door animal realm
- ME, door hungry ghost realm;
- HUNG door of hell. Each syllable is seen as a purifying effect:
- OM purifies itself;
- MA purify words;
- NI purifies the mind;
- PAD purifies the conflicting emotions;
- ME purified hidden conditions;
- HUM purifies the veil of wisdom. Each syllable is a prayer:

- OM prayer toward the body of the Buddha;
- MA prayer towards the words of the Buddha;
- NI prayer toward the Buddha mind;
- PAD prayer towards the products nature of the Buddha;
- ME prayers towards the activities of the Buddhas;
- HUM gathered grace of body, speech, mind, qualities, and activities of the Buddhas.

Six syllables involved six three perfections, six of perfection is transformed:

- OM associated with generosity,

- MA, ethics
- NI, persistence, patience,
- PAD, attendance,
- ME, paying attention
- HUM, intellectual. The six syllables also linked to six Buddha, Buddhist dominated six:

- OM-related Ratnasambhava (Bao - Birth Buddha)

- PAD, Vairocana (Lot - Xa - Na Buddha)

Finally, six to six syllables intellectual contact:

- OM = Wisdom serene, peaceful

- MA = mental activity

- NI = wisdom to reproduce

- The legal world intellectual PAD =

- ME = intellectual distinction

- HUM = mirror-like wisdom.

In Tibet, people chant his mantra of Avalokitesvara. The simplicity and universal mantra of not detract from the breadth of the mantra, and even greater value. This is shown in the following funny sayings:

At the beginning, there is no pain of not knowing,
in the middle, no pride for understanding,
in the end, do not forget the mantra of fear.

No understanding of theory, medicine, astrology and other sciences are suffering, because a person can give more energy, try and accept more tired to learn it. However, in the brief seconds was sufficient to recite his mantra of Avalokitesvara. No need to face suffering from ignorance to knowledge. Because of that, "In the beginning there is no pain of not knowing."

A few years later science learning difficulties will get fame or positions in society, and they are completely satisfied with themselves and believe they are better than all others. His simple mantra of Avalokitesvara help a person avoid falling into the above condition. Thus, "In the middle, not presumptuous knowledge." Finally, if we do not keep the mantra, the knowledge which we acquired in medicine, astrology, or the science may gradually been eroded. But can not forget the six-syllable mantra. OM MANI PADME HUM. So, "In the end, do not forget the mantra of fear."

Also, from all my notes: "Rain of continuous benefit to sentient beings"

- OM is white,
- MA, green,

- NI, yellow,

- PAD, blue,

- ME, red;
- HUM, black.

The description can be summarized as follows: "I pray in the embodiment of consciousness in the form and metabolism, the bodhisattva possesses pearl and showers to protect me from the sufferings of beings in six realms ". OM MANI PADME HUM is a summary of the collection firsthand knowledge of all the Buddhas . The instructions included in each of the six-syllable pronunciation, is the essence Mastery Secrets of the Buddha, is the source of all qualities and profound happiness, the root of the achievement of benefits, additional happy, and the great road leading to the existence and noble freedom.

Read Tibetan Om Mani Peme Hum. This mantra represents the heart of great compassion and grace of all the Buddhas, the Bodhisattva, especially the grace of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of compassion. Avalokiteshvara (or Avalokitesvara) is the embodiment of Buddha in the form sambhogakaya, and his mantra is considered the essence of Buddha's compassion for sentient beings. If his master Padmasambhava is the most important Tibetan, the Buddha Avalokiteshvara is their most important, is the guardian of this nation. There is famous saying of the Buddha of compassion was deeply rooted in Tibetan formula that a baby has to speak "mother" as you read this mantra, OM MANI PADME HUM.

Legend of countless lifetimes before one thousand Development Center Prince Bodhi vow of Buddha. A prayer to Buddha that we already know, but prayer Avalokiteshvara, the feeling will not reach into the thousands when all is not the Prince. To his infinite compassion, he also vows liberate all sentient beings from suffering rebirth in the six paths. Before the ten Buddhas, he vowed, "May I help all beings, and if so when you are tired of this great work then let my body into a thousand pieces of the tan."

First, He the realms of hell , move slowly to the realms of hungry ghosts , until the heavens . From there he happened to look down and see alas, even though he has saved countless sentient beings from hell, there are still countless others are caught. This causes him endless grief, in a moment he almost lost all faith in the great prayer which he has, and his body immediately explodes into thousands of pieces. In desperation, his call for all the Buddhas. These men from ten world as snow flies to the rescue. With the force of color, making him currently Buddha body back, and from there Avalokiteshvara has eleven heads, a thousand arms, each arm having an eye heart. The meaning that combination of wisdom and skillful means a sign of true compassion. In this form, he is brilliant vibrant, and have more energy than before to help all beings. Heart of His great compassion when he was more intense, and he found this prayer before the Buddha: "I am determined not to the feeling when all beings not to" .

Legend has it that because of grief at the suffering of samsara, two drops of water fell from swallowed up his eyes, and Buddhas have two tears to turn it into two goddess Tara. A green goddess, the operational capacity of the mind of great compassion, and a white goddess, as her gentle aspects of the mind of great compassion. Tara means of rescue, the carrier we cross the sea of ​​life and death.

According to the Mahayana scriptures, it gave Avalokiteshvara Buddha mantra, and the Buddha back to the work entrusted to him especially noble to save all sentient beings reach enlightenment. At that time, devas launched two flowers to praise Him, earth tremors, and the air resounded sound Hrih OM MANI PADME HUM.

His verse on the following meanings:

"Avalokitesvara as the moon, with cool light, extinguish the burning of birth and death. In that light, compassionate lotus - flowers bloom at night - open up the pristine white wings. "

The doctrine explained that each of the six audio sound of the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM is a particularly effective to bring the metabolism of many different classes of our nature. This six syllables purify all six root afflictions, expression of ignorance leads us to the karma of body, word, idea, creating samsara and our suffering, in which pride, jealousy, desire, ignorance, lust and anger, thanks to the mantra that is transformed back to the true nature of them, six tribal sense of place embodied in the Buddha enlightened mind.

Note: The teaching often mentions in Buddhist tribes, tribal Friday is the sum of five tribes on.

Therefore, when we recite the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM, the six aforementioned afflictions are purified, thus prevent rebirth in the six realms, dispel the suffering implicit in every realm. Also this mantra also purifies the aggregates of ego, super happy Vietnamese completed six of the enlightened mind (six paramitas): generosity, morality, patience, effort, meditation and wisdom. It also said that the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM is very large capacity holder, protect us against the negative effects and secondary disorders.

There are usually self Hrih strains of Avalokitesvara is added after the mantra, OM MANI PADME HUM make Hrih. Hrih mind of great compassion is the essence of all Buddhas, the catalyst has started Buddhas great compassion heart to transform our suffering into the nature of his intellect.

Kalu Rinpoche wrote: Another way to explain this mantra is:

OM is the essence of enlightened,

MANI PADME represent enlightened speech,

HUM represents the enlightened mind. Body, speech, mind of all Buddhas are hidden in the sound of this mantra. This mantra purifies the obscurations of body, word, mind, and bringing all beings to the state of realization. When this mantra, which coordinate with the faith and be diligent meditation, transformative power of the mantra will arise and grow. Indeed, we can purify ourselves by that method.

For those already familiar with this mantra, reciting life with enthusiasm and confidence, the Tibetan Death Letter, in the Bardo realms: "As the sound of roaring calculated as thousands like thunder , may all sound, this became the mantra of six syllables. " Similarly, economic Shurangama said:

"The mystery of sound is super Vietnamese instead of Chenrezig. This is the ultimate audio file of the universe ... It's insidious whisper quiet tide. English mystery he brings peace to liberate all sentient beings are suffering in pain for help, and offers residents a peace of purity for all those who find the infinite purity of nirvana. "

The benefits of reciting the mantra of the Compassionate Buddha is immeasurable, like the boundless sky.

Even if you do not know much about France, though the only thing you know is Om Mani Padme Hum, the happiest life is to live life with an attitude of freedom from eight worldly concerns. If you live life with pure attitude free from attachment to this life and spent his life merely to recite Om Mani Padme Hum - Mantra six - music is the whole essence of the Dhamma - it is the purest French. The chanting seems very simple, very easy. But if you think about the benefits of it, then it is not entirely straightforward. Here I will only mention the core of the immense benefit of it.

Recite the mantra of the Compassionate Buddha will once completely purifies the four tanks broke the original vows of Special Liberation in negative karma and not broken. (*)

In tantra also mentioned that by reciting this mantra you will achieve the four qualities to be born in the Pure Land of Buddha Amitabha Pure Land and the other was found dead on the Buddha and light appeared in the sky; deities offering you; and never be reborn in the hell realms, hungry ghost or animal. You will be reborn in the Pure Land of Buddha or as a good rebirth is possible.

When a mantra recited ten malas a day swimming, whether in river or sea creature living in some other country, touching the body of water that will also be blessed.

We also know that the ancestor seven generations (ancestors) of that person will not be reborn in lower realms. It is due to the power of the mantra, the body is blessed by those who recite and visualize themselves in the identity of the holy body as Minister Avalokitesvara. Thus, the body becomes very strong, full of grace that it affects the mind to seven generations and as a result if he died with an unwholesome thoughts, he will not be reborn in a lower realms.

So when a person each day reciting Om Mani Padme Hum ten strings go into the river or sea, the water touched her body be blessed, and then the fluid will be blessed that we purify trillions born in the country. He rescued the creatures in that country can not escape suffering unimaginable in lower realms. The real benefit was to be true.

When such a person going down a path, the wind touches his body and then continue to touch the insects, their negative karma is purified and thus we have a good rebirth. Similarly, when a person like other people touching the body, negative karma of those people are also purification.

The watch someone like that is really meaningful; to be seen and touched becomes a means to liberate sentient beings. This means that even the person's breath touching the body of other sentient beings purifies their negative karma. Any creature that drinking water in which one person has ever been swimming and purification.

We are lucky to have met strange that France and the opportunity to recite and meditate on the Compassionate Buddha. It is an easy method to purify any negative karma that we have gathered, not only in this life but also in many lifetimes before.

Because we've met the Dharma and especially this method - the practice of the Compassionate Buddha and recite his mantra - it is easy to purify negative karma and accumulate merit at large and the achievement of enlightenment. We are incredibly lucky.

Thus, nothing more foolish not to use the advantage of this great opportunity. In general, we continuously distracted and waste his life. Not only that, all acts are done with ego and the defiled mind the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance create negative karma, the cause of suffering. In life, nothing foolish than using this perfect human body to create only suffering.

In places like Tibet, Nepal, India, and Ladakh has a long tradition of good performance is key Compassionate Buddha retreat and reciting 100 million Om Mani Padme Hum mantra. Retreat was held at Chenrezig Institute is a retreat like that was first conducted in the West and the first retreat in the FPMT organization (Association for Conservation of the Mahayana Tradition). This happens once a year there - only once a year!

If you are tormented by the sin in your life, you can overcome feelings of purification to attend this retreat. Retreat is not just reciting mantras with sadhanas, but also includes holders Eight Mahayana Precepts, if not daily then at least regularly. Any merit that you accumulate during the day will increase 100,000 times. This becomes a quick and easy way to purify, the vast accumulation of merit, to achieve enlightenment and liberate sentient beings from suffering and can not imagine that soon leads them to enlightenment .

Attend a retreat mani (six syllable mantra) is an incredible blessing. Whether you can not present in the entire retreat, you can also attend two months, a month or at least a few weeks. Even you can retreat for a week. I especially hope this retreat will be held in Mongolia, because their main food is meat and too many animals are killed every day there. This practice help to purify it. After our temple in Mongolia was built, I hope that thousands of people will attend mani retreats there. Gradually, I wish this retreat is also held elsewhere in the West.

This retreat also blesses the country where it is organized and delivered many more peace, happiness and prosperity.

Whether you know about meditation teachings on bodhicitta, you still need to receive the special blessings of the deity, Compassion Buddha. You receive this blessing by doing the meditation and recitation we practice in the Mani Retreat. Thus, reciting Om Mani Padme Hum is a method that can enter Bodhicitta - to transform your mind into bodhicitta and make your meditation on bodhicitta effective.

In general, according to my experience in my seat in the ranges Hymalayas in Solu Khumbu in Nepal, there are those who live their lives reciting Om Mani Padme Hum, but do not have any notions of emptiness - even both words. Although they can not read and do not even know the abc spell, they have a great devotion to compassion and bodhicitta and live their lives in reciting Om Mani Padme Hum. Such people have a warm heart, very good heart, very compassionate. This is one of them from my experience that it is effective in changing the mind of a good heart and compassion. Without Bodhicitta, you can not bring happiness to all beings. You can not make the job perfect for all living beings and you can not achieve perfect qualities of the realizations and cessation, even for yourself. Thus, everyone will be welcome to attend the retreat 100 million Om Mani Padme Hum mantra.
