On a side note, my yoga instructor also encouraged me to consider attending this year’s Wanderlust festival promoting the yogic lifestyle and its deep and abiding connection to nature and mindful living. The essence of the mantra is beautifully conveyed in my humble opinion in the song Om mani padme hum composed by the Yoga Mantra and Chant Music Project: I have begun to incorporate this simple but profound mantra into my journey of mindful living. His Holiness offers the profound observation that if one adheres diligently to the principles embodied in the mantra Om mani padme hum, he or she has the capacity to transform their impure body, speech and mind into the pure body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. In terms of the seed syllables of the five conqueror Buddhas, HUM is the is the seed syllable of Akshobhya- the immovable, the unfluctuating, that which cannot be disturbed by anything.”
Listening daily tibetan incantations om mani padme hum full#
In the mantra, or tantra vehicle, it refers to one conciousness in which there is the full form of both wisdom and method as one undifferentiable entity.
Humsymbolizes indivisibility: “According to the sutra system, this indivisibility of method and wisdom refers to one consciousness in which there is a full form of both wisdom affected by method and method affected by wisdom. Padme symbolizes wisdom: “Just as a lotus grows forth from mud but is not sullied by the faults of mud, so wisdom is capable of putting you in a situation of non- contradiction where as there would be contradiction if you did not have wisdom.”. Mani symbolizes “factor of method- the altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love.”. Omsymbolizes “the practitioner’s impure body, speech, and mind they also symbolize the pure exalted body, speech and mind of a Buddha.”. His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso The Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet has stated that each of the six syllables which comprise the mantra have a specific and significant meaning (source: lecture at Kalmuck Mongolian Buddhist Center, New Jersey, online: ): From what I have discerned in my preliminary research, the mantra can be translated into the expression: “Praise to the Jewel in the Lotus.” My mind immediately turned to the beautiful lotus pond (pictured above) I visited at Balboa Park in San Diego a few weeks ago. My yoga instructor encouraged me to research these six precious syllables. I felt a powerful energy from this mantra as I repeated it to myself, even before I knew what it actually meant. I had not come across this mantra before in my previous reading on the topic of Buddhism or mindfulness generally. Recently, I was introduced by my yoga instructor to the mantra: Om mani padme hum.
