THE MEANING OF OM MANI PADME HUM.

Thursday, 22 December 2011

Om Mani Padme Hum is a Sanskrit mantra, the mantra is considered to Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (Avalokiteshvara) mantras and is the oldest and most important of Tibetan Buddhism. It is also named as " Tu Dai Minh Lu Chan Language " is "Truth, bright 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 music, this sentence is pronounced um bowl ma ni ni ni Alma pink or rose bowl love.

Often people do not explain the mantra, but here should be added that: "Jade you" expression for the 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 mysterious effects in the presentation of Vajrayana. For Tibetan Buddhism is Om Mani Padme Hum is a vast compassion, to reach Nirvana for the sake of sentient beings. Thus the six syllables of this mantra is also seen as corresponding 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, mantra does not exist. No sound or mantra. Sound and mantra, like all the different forms of expression, both in relative position of the plane 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 name of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or divine. For example, OM MANI PADME HUM (Alma - NI DI RED BAT) is to call him Guan Yin (Chenrezig). From the absolute point of view, Chenrezig not named, but the relative scope or meaning literally, he is their own name. These names are mediated by compassion, looks elegant, and powerful with his wish to benefit beings. Way to recite his qualities of mind this is transmitted to us. Here, the interpretation of the capacity benefits of the mantra, his name; as we identify ourselves with and what their name linked to it, and in this way, on the relative level, mental Note consistent with the gods. Both become the only reality. When a man reciting the mantra, he received the gods seems elegant; envisioned by the gods, she gods, who receive mantras appear elegant no difference 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 Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is placed between two sounds and sacred tradition, OM and HUM.

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

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

- HUM: represents the mind of all Buddhas and usually the last sentence of the mantras.
- MANI: talk about jewels that Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara holding in his hands and PADME is the lotus in the left hand holding the first second. When you call his name MANI PADME is Bodhisattva Guanyin through his virtues.

When we mantras, actually we are continuing to repeat his name Guanyin Bodhisattva. On the other hand, while reciting mantra OM MANI PADME HUM is more meaningful, because this is the mantra of elegance and power of his mind The sounds were collected from the grace and compassion of all Buddhas and Bo Tat. In this perspective, mantra is endowed with the ability to lift up the heart monitor, and purify our minds. Open-mind mantra of love and compassion, leading to enlightened awareness.

The bodhisattva and mantra is a possible cause, that is, one can note that the concept is not necessary to imagine, imagine. Mantras are still effective.
Phẩm authenticity of each of the six audio sounds of mantra is explained very relevant.
First, let us see each sound to help us close the door to the suffering of rebirth, one six realms of cyclic existence:

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

Finally, six to six syllables intellectual contact:

- HUM = mirror-like wisdom.

In Tibet, people chant his mantra of Avalokiteshvara. 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, not the suffering of not knowing,
in the middle, no pride for understanding,
in the end, do not forget the fear mantra.

No understanding of theory, medicine, astrology and other sciences are suffering, because a person can give more energy, effort and accept more tired to learn it. However, a few brief seconds was sufficient to recite his mantra Quan. No need to deal with suffering from ignorance to knowledge. Because of this, "At the beginning does not suffer from not knowing."

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

Also, since all my notes: "Rain of ongoing benefit to sentient beings"

- OM is white,
- MA, green,

- NI, yellow,

- PAD, blue,

- ME, red;
- HUM, black.

Mantra can be summarized as follows: "I pray in the embodiment of form and transformation in consciousness, bodhisattva owns pearls and lotus 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 sounds, is the essence Mastery Secrets of the Buddha, is the source of all qualities and happiness deep roots of the achievement of benefits, additional pleasure, and the great road leading to the existence and freedom sublime.

Read Tibetan Om Mani Peme Hum. This mantra represents the heart of great compassion and grace 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 of newspaper itself, and his mantra is considered the essence of the Buddhas' compassion for sentient beings. If his master Padmasambhava is the most important Tibetan, Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha is the most important of them, are the guardians of this nation. There is a famous saying of the Buddha of compassion was deeply rooted in Tibetan way that a child has to speak "Mother" is already read this mantra, OM MANI PADME HUM.

Legend of countless lifetimes before one thousand Prince found the Bodhi mind of a Buddha prayer. A prayer to Buddha Shakyamuni that we already know, but the prayer Avalokiteshvara will not reach into the thousands sense when all is not the Prince. To his boundless great compassion, he also vows to liberate all beings from suffering in samsara continental director. Before the ten Buddhas, he vows: "May I help all beings, and if so when I tired of this great work is to pray for the tan itself into a thousand pieces."

First, his plane down to hell , moving 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 that he has, and his body immediately explodes into thousands of pieces. In desperation, his call for all the Buddhas. These are from ten world as snow flies to the rescue. With a mysterious spirit force, Buddhas make him the whole body back, and from there Avalokiteshvara has eleven heads, a thousand arms, each arm with a pleased eye. Meaning that the combination of wisdom and skillful means a sign of great compassion true. In this form, he was a bright glow, and have more energy than before to help all beings. His great compassion of the heart when it is more intense, and he again found this prayer before the Buddhas: "I will abstain in the sense if not of all beings" .

Legend has it that due to mourn the suffering of samsara, two drops of water ingestion fell from his eyes, and the Buddhas has allowed her tears turned into two two goddess Tara. A green goddess, the operational capacity of the mind compassion, and a white goddess, like her mother aspects of great compassion center. Tara means of rescue, the carrier we cross the sea of ​​life and death.

According to the Mahayana scriptures, gave the Avalokiteshvara mantra of the Buddha, and Buddha returned to the work entrusted to him especially noble to save all sentient beings reach enlightenment. At that time, tung flower devas praised both him down, earth tremors, and the air resounded OM MANI PADME HUM sound HRIH.

There are verses about His meaning is as follows:

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

Catechism explains 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, because the mantra which is transformed back to the true nature of them, six tribal sense of place embodied in the Buddha enlightened mind.

Note: The teaching is often referred to 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, diligence, meditation and wisdom. It also says that the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM has great power upholding, protecting us from the adverse impacts and secondary illness.

There are usually given free of Avalokitesvara HRIH added the following mantra, OM MANI PADME HUM made HRIH. HRIH great compassion is the heart 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 nature of enlightened,

MANI PADME typical language of enlightenment,

HUM represents the enlightened mind. Body, speech, mind of all Buddhas are hidden in the sound of this mantra. This mantra purifies the obstacles of body, word, mind, and bring all beings to the state of realization. When this mantra, which coordinate with the advances faith and meditation essential metabolic capacity of the mantra will arise and grow. Indeed, we can purify themselves by that method.

For those already familiar with this mantra, reciting life with enthusiasm and confidence, the Tibetan Death Letter, in the intermediate realm: "The legal sound like the roaring thunder of thousands like , this may all sound became the sound of six syllables mantra. " Similarly, economic Surangama said:

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

The benefits of reciting the mantra of the Compassionate Buddha, the true infinite, like 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 your life with pure attitude free from attachment to this life and simply experiencing life in reciting Om Mani Padme Hum - six mantras - this music is the whole essence of the Dhamma - it is the purest French. The recitation may seem very simple, very easy. But if you think about the benefits of it, that's not entirely straightforward. Here I will only mention the core of the immense benefit of it.

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 achieve the four qualities to be born into the Pure Land of Buddha Amitabha Pure Land and the other was found dead on the Buddha and light appeared in the sky; gods offered 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, even in the river, sea, or a few species living in other countries, countries that touch the human body will also be blessed.

We also know that seven ancestral life (loss of permanent suspension) the person's well being reborn in lower realms. This is due to the power of the mantra, the body is blessed by those who recite the mantra and visualizing their body in the sights of the holy body, such as Germany Avalokitesvara. Thus, the body becomes very strong, full of blessings that it affects the mind for the next seven lives and as a result if he died with an evil 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 water that touches the human body is 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 imagine where the lower realms. It was so incredibly beneficial.

When such a person going down a road, the wind to touch her 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 who are purify it.

The one who sees the truth so full of meaning; 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 species that drinks like a man which had been swimming and purification.

We are fortunate to have met a strange French and have the opportunity to recite and meditate on the Compassionate Buddha. It's an easy way to purify any negative karma that we have accumulated, not only in this life but also in many lifetimes before.

Because we've met the Buddhadharma, 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 take advantage of using this great opportunity. Overall, we continue to neglect and wasted his life. Not only that, all acts are done with the self and the three poisonous minds polluted by greed, hatred and ignorance create negative karma, the cause of suffering. In life, nothing more absurd use of this perfect 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 public retreat as was first conducted in the West and the retreat in the first 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 that feeling by purification attending 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, accumulate merits and achievements of enlightenment and liberating sentient beings from suffering and can not imagine that soon leads them to enlightenment .

Attend a public mani retreat (six syllable mantra) is an incredible blessing. Even if you can not present the entire retreat, you can also participate in 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 in that period. Gradually, I want this retreat is also held elsewhere in the West.

This retreat also blesses the country where it is organized and brought so much peace, happiness and prosperity.

Whether you know about meditation teachings on bodhicitta, you still need to receive 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 Bodhichitta - to transform your mind into bodhicitta and make your meditation on bodhicitta effective.

In general, according to my experience in my seat in the Solu Khumbu in Nepal ranges Hymalayas, there are people living their lives in reciting Om Mani Padme Hum, but does not have some notion of emptiness - even both words. Although they can not read and did 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, extreme kindness, very compassionate. This is a proof 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 do perfect work for all sentient beings, and you can not achieve the perfect qualities of the realizations and cessation, even for yourself. Thus, people will be very welcome to attend the retreat 100 million Om Mani Padme Hum mantra.
