The Power and Power of the Divine Mantra.

The Great Compassion Mantra is a full-blown, full-blown, enlightened mantra. This mind is killing countless crimes, be immeasurable blessings and death, the birth of Pure Land.

The door of the Buddha has to eighty four thousand methods, a Buddhist who tries to practice, practice through many lives are not easy to receive all the rich content that only one human life. Therefore, depending on the basis of karmic, once the mind has been released into the path of liberation, the practitioner or the blessing of grace, the Bodhisattva guidance, or instructed by the teacher, each person Should choose for yourself a practice to practice. There are many popular disciplines popular in the mass today, such as the Pure Land, Tantra, Meditation ... French subject may be different, but once considered himself as the Tathagata's father, the will of each Practitioners are the same, that is, according to the light of the Buddhas, determined to tear down the veil of ignorance, to step through the cycle of samsara to enter the path of liberation,

"Beings are boundless volition," it is the common wish of a person carrying Bodhisattva life in life, whether wearing a monk robes or household goods. But a good person, no matter how good a willingness to do his will, good heart will also become useless. Like a man who saw the victim dying drowning under the swift flow of water, hopping down to save his life, but he himself did not know how to swim, not only did not save people, but lost his life in vain, It also hinders the rescue work. So, want to have people first of all, we have to consider whether we have the ability, personality to human or not? Want to always be positive, diligent practice non-stop can gradually advance to the light of enlightenment.

It can be said affirmatively that in order to attain enlightenment there is no other path than the path of meditation. All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Patriarchs have had to go through that path. It is the Buddha who emphasized the important benefits of meditation: "Meditation is the only means of purifying the mind, eliminating affliction." (Samyutta, 16:13 - A Journey), and He also spent the last 49 days of meditation before attaining bodhicitta. We Buddhists, of course, have no other choice. However, a big problem for newcomers to step into the door of Zen is to find for themselves a method of adaptation so that their path of attainment can be achieved without being lost. In the vast jungle of forests,

Want to learn to find teachers. There are many teachers everywhere so that Buddhists can go to seek, but if for some reason they do not have the means or means to meet them, we will seek guidance today. Take us to the Great Teacher, the very familiar "One" who is always close to us, always listening to our prayers with all our concern and love. Great to be ready to help without requiring any kind of hostility. The master is none other than Avalokiteshvara Avalokitesvara and with the means of his goodness, the mantra "Heavenly Eye Prince Mahindra Heart Damage", will help anyone to maintain. This mantra of right method will surely soon enter the meditation realm, as well as achieve all the aspirations.

Like a mortal, for a lifetime to go back and forth, to bring the dead body back to his father's old house to discover the priceless jewel in the tattered tattered shirt in the old days. Father because of love stitched before the children leave the wilderness. The Mahayana Mantra is the priceless jewel, and today, as the same old one, we suddenly re-discover the treasure that will not only enrich our souls, but also deplete our soul. but also the key to open us into the door of enlightenment enlightenment, the highest Bodhi.

1. The Reason of the Birth of God's Avalokite Mantra and Prayer:

The Mantra of Great Compassion is drawn from the Enlightenment Enlightenment Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Indomitable Brahmin heart, by the Buddha himself said in a conference in front of the full range of Bo Gods, gods, gods, gods, gods, gods, gods, gods, gods, dragon gods, to the south of India, considered as the place where Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is often mentioned. We can be sure of that because the Eye of the Eye is opened by the familiar saying of Ananda "As I hear" as well as through the content of questions between Ananda and the Buddha. recorded in the sutras.

In this conference, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara because of the great compassion for beings, want to "beings are happy, get rid of all diseases, long life, get rich, get rid of all evil sin to be weighed, to be separated from the suffering, to grow the merits of the dharma, to attain all good causes, to dissipate all fears, to be fully satisfied with all the desired places " This word.

He said the reason for the birth of the Mantra is as follows: In countless previous memories, Buddha Aspiration Buddha As Vajra As Lai, because of the mind of beings, said the Dai Bi spell and encourage Bodhisattva Conscious Avalokitesvara should be devoted to this message to bring great benefits for the welfare of beings in the future. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara at that time in the primary place when listening to this mantra immediately surpassed the eighth. Excited to the power of the mantra, he said great prayer: "If in future life, you can do happy benefits for all beings with this mantra, please make the body immediately born thousand eyes thousand hands ". Immediately, he fulfilled his will. Since then, the image of the Bodhisattva Guan Yin Thousand-thousand eyes became a symbol of the superior capacity of a Bodhisattva carrying the mission to save suffering happiness for all beings. Thousands of eyes speak of the ability to transform itself, the limitless power of the Compassion and Wisdom Power of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The overflowing eye can illuminate all the miseries of humanity and thousands of hands to save and lift, as the Buddha explains to Ananda in the sutra, desire of beings ".

The Sutra and the Mahayana Mantra were later described by an exiled Indian Zen monk, Bhagavaddharma (Bhagavaddharma), who traveled through China during the Tang Dynasty from Sanskrit through Chinese and translated by Thich Thien Tam in Vietnamese. With the power and experience that has been demonstrated through space and time, the Mahayana Mantra has been cherished during the ceremonies, the main chanting ceremonies of the Mahayana traditions. China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, ...

2. The Power and Power of the Mantra of Compassion.

Want to know the power, the power of the Mantra of Compassion, we should find out the purpose, the merits of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara when he issued this mantra. Avalokitesvara vowed that: If beings who chant the Mahayana mantra, but also fall into three evil lines, not born in the Buddha realm, not be countless tamarious advocates, he swore will not Enlightenment. He also emphasized: If one recites the Great Compassion Mantra, all the wishes of the present life are not satisfied, then this mantra will not be called Da Brahman, except those who wish The desire for unwholesome things or the mind is not the same. Moreover, the Bodhisattva also tells us that even those who commit such heavy crimes as evil rebels, defamation, defamation, breaking the precepts, breaking the rules, ruining temples, , Neglecting the practice of reciting the Mahayana mantra is eliminated. Why? Kinh Dai Bi said that each time he recites this mantra, all ten of the Buddhas come to prove, so all the offenses of the virtue of the Buddha's strength, all destroy.

The great power of the Mantra has been clarified by the Buddha himself in the Dalai Lama:

- His Holiness Nan Buddha:

White Lord! What is this name called? How should life be maintained?

- Buddha said: This mantra has the following names:

o Guang Zi Renminbi

o Invasion of great compassion Ra-Ni

O Resurrection Su-ra-Ni

o Diana-Tho-Ra-Ni

o Anti-Bravo-Derivative

o the occupation of Akur-ra-Ni

o Satisfaction-Da-Ra-Ni

o Custom-mind Self-In-Ra-Ni

o Super Saab Ra-Ni. "

From the Buddha's teaching to Anan, we understand the main functions of the mantra:

Whoever recites the Mahabalata Mantra with all his heart will surely attain all wishes and aspirations, because the power of the Mantra is universal, infinite, nothing is possible. impediment. In this realm of sex, man does not expect anything more than peace, happiness and long life. The Divine Mantra will help people achieve these desires as Avalokiteshvara is promised.

Another ability of the Mantra is to save suffering. In times of suffering, pain, suffering, despair, tragedy; the times when we find ourselves in the same path, deadlock, there is no way out; Firmly believe in Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, the most recited recitation of compassion Mantra, he will certainly help us skilful means, take us through the suffering to peace and happiness. However, for the Mantra to uphold its power, when reciting, we have to reflect on ourselves why we fall into the misery of others, and why the Mantra has the power to save suffering. The teachings of the Buddha tell us that nothing in this world happens at random. All the unhappiness that we have suffered in our present lives: shackles, disease, poverty, ... is the result of the negative actions that we have caused from previous lives or in this life, it is time to pay. The Divine Mantra of Compassion is capable of leading us beyond suffering because of its supernormal power, the Karmic Damage as mentioned above.

This mantra is also known as the Eradication of Animals. Hearing of this power, a person with compassionate heart will not be born doubt. We are reciting the Mantra of Great Compassion for the development of the Great Compassion, that is, to love all beings without distinction, why the destruction of the beast while the beast is also a kind of sentient beings to be loved, Is it However, to understand this power, let us first place ourselves in the living conditions of the inhabitants of the lowland forests, especially in tropical countries such as India, where it is full Lovers of lobsters, leopard, snake centipede ... always a great threat to human life. Not even from the time of the Buddha, even now, every year, a large number of people have lost their lives due to the beasts, so that the beast will not offend us, the Bodhisattvas have given us mantras. Great Compassion,

However, for those who are determined to embark on the path of study, the two most important functions of the Mantra of Compassion are self-reliance and supreme speed. We are experiencing difficulties in meditation, our mind is unstable, our spirit is bewildered panic can not focus on meditation, so far we have tried all the methods and still not As a result, now the Mantra of Compassion will be an effective means of peace of mind, freeing our minds from the worries and worries of daily life, surely bringing us into a meditation realm. How quickly and definitively, and from then on, the Mantra will help us advance quickly into the next jhana, the problem of fast or slow is due to the karmic of each individual, but the result is certain,

For the reasons mentioned above, this mantra is called Da-Ra-Ni-Brahmin Great Depression. Therefore, Buddhists should not be reckless when reciting the Great Compassion that must be diligent and sincere, reverent, keep the ritual. Believing in the love of beings and the capacity of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, one can practice the Mantra of Compassion as the main means of meditation in the ability to concentrate as well as meditate. attain happiness and happiness in everyday life and step by step towards the goal of liberation and enlightenment.

3. Formation, the Genesis of Great Mantra  (Ten Characteristics of Great Compassion).

I am reciting the Great Divine Mantra. So first we should know what uncle is? How does the Great Divine Being contact tithes?

He is also known under the names of God, Divine Word or Secret, Sanskrit is Dhàrani (Dhàrani), ie the secret statements of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas. These mantras to the tantra are used as passwords to translate the practitioners' prayers to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from all ten directions and are quickly felt to help them. Hold on.

Da-ni is translated into Chinese as "toti", which is a kind of force capable of retiring and preserving all worldly and worldly dharmas, The evil do not give birth.

Although mantras are mysterious words, the secrets of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas it is difficult to receive content, meaning but this does not mean that when reciting the Mantra Mantra we just recite one machine way Once you know the power and power of the Divine Mantra, you will understand the appearance of the Mantra of Compassion, or, more specifically, the characteristics of the Great Compassion. These characteristics have been explained by the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara in the Sutra in response to the request of the King of the Great Fire Lord:

o Great Compassion

o Equality Center

o Vô Vi Center

o Pre-Injury Center

o No Mind

o Center of Glass

o Tam Khiem

o Tam not Grouse

o Do not Hold

o Supreme Bodhi Center

Mind is the object of meditation. Peace of mind or concentration is the goal of the yogi when practicing. In the anecdotes related to Zenology, we have probably heard more than once about stories related to this subject. The story of "peace of mind" between Bodhidharma and Hui Fei is a famous example.

The meditator who practices meditation can rely on the power of the Mantra of Compassion as a means of concentrating and by the capacity to transport the mystery of these miraculous sounds into the essence of the mind. , reaching the end of liberation, nirvana. The mind is the Buddha nature, which is permanent, existing in every being. We do not see our true heart because of ignorance, because of crime, karmic as the accumulation of accumulated life from the many lives are covering it. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara love to worry for the beings that help us the means of the great is the Mantra of compassion, as showing us a shortcut to practice the practice, quickly progress to nirvana. Mahayana Mantra will certainly break the array of crimes, karmic attainment, sticking hard on our body forever, the power of it will be like the torch flames in the dark night of dark ignorance, brighten up, manifest the heart. Each of the generals of the Mantra of Compassion can thus be a great object of meditation for meditators to meditate while meditating simultaneously as a goal to reach in practice.

Transparent and covering up all is the Great Compassionate Mind, ie compassion and intention, determined to save suffering. The beginning of Mahayana mantra also means the beginning of mercy to all sentient beings. In the harsh struggle to survive, when "man is the wolf of man," the misfortune of others is sometimes beneficial to oneself, human compassion has been diminished. But if humanity really needs love as a material to nurture life and to be sublimated, the Divine Mantra will certainly be the orange juice that drains the dried branch of the tree, and from there the seeds of compassion will sprout in each of us.

The connection between Compassion and Wisdom is a relationship of dependent origination. The achievement of the compassionate mind is the condition for the arising of the Wisdom Wisdom, and the Center of Consciousness. Mind equality means the mind does not discriminate in the awareness and treatment of sentient beings. No body, no skin, no color, race, gender, no longer rich and poor, no more species and other species, gods, heaven, people, animals, funds ... all Equality is the object of love and relief when necessary, because they all carry the Buddha-nature, all future Buddhas. With the Developmental Mind, each practitioner will be an incarnation of the often defiled Bodhisattva with full reverence and humility in the way of living and dealing with all living beings.

Can see the Great Compassion, Mind Equality is a necessary access to go to the Mind Center. The practice of unconscious mind, which is the first step into the philosophy of emptiness of Buddhism, is the beginning of the entrance of the "Vo Mon Quan". It is possible to consider the Prajnaparasana Mindfulness as a meaningful interpretation of the Unconvincing Mind: "The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara-another name of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara - The five aggregates, the degree of suffering yoke ": Avalokiteshvara Avalokitesvara in depth, he saw the universe wanted to combine on the river five aggregates. The dharmas are due to coast, there is no nature, no birth, no extra, no artifacts. Thus, Avalokiteshvara escaped from all suffering and afflictions.

Mind Non-Consciousness therefore also includes Mind not infected before, Mind is not disorder, Mind does not hold, ie realization of Wisdom Wisdom from here he is ready to take one last step to reach the Center of Vi The Supreme Bodhi Center, ie the salvation of enlightenment, liberation.

Briefly, when you see the general appearance of the Mantra of Compassion, whenever you recite this mantra you have to develop the great Bodhi mind, swear by all beings, Should be recited should not be interrupted. The Great Compassion Mantra will certainly be a miraculous means for the meditator to quickly attain the result in meditation.

4. Apply the Mantra of Compassion to Meditation

As mentioned above, wanting to attain enlightenment can not fail through meditation. But when it comes to meditation, ordinary Buddhists find it hard to imagine and think of it as something vague, abstract, mysterious. Even Buddhists are bewildered because in today's world there are many different types of meditation that appear on the market, exploited for commercial purposes rather than helping people reach the shore of liberation, and Sometimes Zen becomes a fashionable "fashion" that makes people confused and easily deluded. Therefore, in order to practice in the right direction, the practitioner needs to have some basic understanding of Buddhist meditation.

5. Concept of Buddhist Meditation:

Meditation (Meditation) and Meditation (Meditation).

Usually when it comes to meditation, people often think of meditation to be enlightened, to "meditate on the mind," to the constricting condoms ... The images of the Zen masters "naturally attain enlightenment" when the mind is broken before the scream of a master, when looking at his face in a puddle of water standing in front of the house ... suddenly become like the myths, the lower base people hard to grasp the meaning of this enlightenment . So is meditation a "luxury" just for the masters who are standing on the brink of enlightenment, just wait for a timely disclosure of the manifestation of truth? Of course Zen is not entirely like this, because if you understand Zen in this way, the history of Zen Buddhism over the past few centuries has produced only a dozen Tories!

It should be understood that meditation practices, as they have been handed down in the scriptures to date, are based on the methods applied by the Buddha itself, based on his own experience throughout. The practice, cultivation and development of the mind, meditation that brought him to Supreme Bodhi and Nibbana.

To control, shape, and liberate the Buddhist mind there are two main types of Zen:

Meditation only (Samatha bhavana or samadhi): concentrating on one point, or unity, concentrating on one (cittekaggata, Sanskrit is cittaikagrata, one mind).

Vipassana, Sanskrit vipasyana or vidarsana, also known as mindfulness meditation, is the way to meditate on life in order to realize the reality of all things.

Meditation has been described by a famous Buddhist monk, Piyadassi, as follows:

"... The word vipassanà (vi + passanà), in a variant, means" seen singularly ", which is different from the ordinary view, because the two components" passati "is seen and" vi "implies special, unusual than usual. Thus, vipassana is seen beyond the ordinary, is wisdom. This is not a glimpse. Not just looking over the surface, looking outward into the reality of life. It is because of that insight based on that utterly complete calm that one cleanses all the dirt, all the dormant contamination to the ultimate goal, Nirvana. Vipassanà bhàvanà is the kind of meditation that the Buddha himself has found, practiced, succeeded and has given, never before existed, and out of Buddhism ... "

The practice of "meditation" in Buddhism culminates in the attainment of Jhana, while the practice of "meditation" leads to the four levels of the saint, the last one being Arhat, or one step further. achieve the Buddha, liberation.

Our spiritual journey is definitely not aimed at the state of concentration or relaxation. We apply the power, the power of the Divine Mantra - to recite this Mantra with a certain number of transformations - as a meditation practice, and see it as a vehicle to come to us. enlightened shore. Therefore, when the mind has settled firmly, we begin to enter into the insight meditation, using the form and appearance of Mahayana Mantra as the content of meditation: the Great Mind of Compassion, Mind, Mind Vo Vi, Mindlessness ... and should be started with Great Compassion.

Why do we start the content of Meditation with Great Compassion? First of all, this is a requirement of the Bodhisattva. Compassionate Compassion will not work unless it is initiated by compassion. Secondly, when choosing the method of meditation using the Mantra of Compassion as the means - briefly asking for a temporary call to Quan Yin Meditation - we have developed the mind of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. , willing to become an arm, a soldier in his love army, to bring light compassion to all beings, contribute to building a Pure Land of Nature in the world. Quan Yin Meditation is a kind of positive meditation that goes directly to life, affects all beings, living beings and environment. Practitioners when using Meditation will use the Great Compassion as a torch light,

6. How to Make Great Compassionate Heart? 

Compassion is the way to meditate. In Buddhism, there are many methods of compassion that the late Thich Thien Hoa has clarified in his book "Buddhist Universal School", here is summarized by three consonants from low to high as follows:

Asian. Consciousness from the word:  Contemplate the suffering of sentient beings in the realm of sex that arises from compassion.

o The fallen in hell are being punished, the hungry hungry ghost ..

Livestock (buffalos, pigs, chickens, etc.) were executed, sawn to cut meat for other species.

o A must to fight and kill

o Beings in the heaven when the blessing must also fall down

o The sufferings of human life ...

To see the sufferings of sentient beings, so that compassion arises, the Buddha taught us to see all sentient beings as relatives in a great family. Mankind as living in a large house and extending to other species is also part of a great family, due to karmic ties, may have been our relatives in previous lives or will be brother my parents in future lives ...

b. From:  Higher than a level, practitioners can observe that all beings have the same legal nature, so say as Vimalakirti, "because beings are sick so we sick," they are sufferingI do not need to know the object of suffering and do not accept that we are suffering suffering because we and beings have the same nature, same legal status.

c. Consolation from the following:  This is the compassion of all the Buddhas, according to the nature of the mind that emits, covering the whole, without bias a place like the sunlight shining all over in a neutral way, noThis type we only know over, not apply to meditation because too high.

7. Compassion Mantra,  a shortcut to the Pure Land

Speaking of Mantra of Compassion, that is to say, we can not fail to speak of the Pure Land. Why? Because life is important in human life. We realize that worldly life is very short and we do not want to be vicarious in the cycle of birth and death so we practice to expect to reach a real, eternal realm. That realm may be called Nirvana. That realm may also be the Pure Land.

First of all, when it comes to the Pure Land, Buddhists often associate a blissful paradise. It is an ideal, beautiful and peaceful realm that any Buddhist man would always dream of being reborn after his death. The Blessed One has professed many Pure Land sights in scriptures, especially the Blessed West of Amida. To reach this realm, the Pure Land method is based on three basic principles: faith, vows and happiness. First of all is trust. I believe there is the existence of the Western Pure Land by Amitabha as the leader. News like this I will be reborn in this realm. May be expressed by Hạnh through the method of the name, that is, during the course of his practice we have to practice the recitation of Amitabha Buddha to "the most unmanageable".

Another world of Pure Land is often mentioned by the Buddha as the Mausoleum of the Maitreya (Tutsia) of the Maitreya, the Bodhisattva has been recorded by Buddha Shakyamuni will return to Earth to establish Longhua and Become a future Buddha. His effort is to change the birthplace, turn the human realm into the Pure Land. The concept of Pure Land is very much in line with the belief and well-being of people practicing Quan Yin Meditation because of its positive nature. Originating from the motto "Studying the Buddha, Bodhisattvas on the path," we will never expect ourselves to be born into a world of ecstasy or nirvana. This is the main message of the Mahayana Mantra, Mahayana, which Karuna means "to stop looking for happiness". We stop looking for happiness, Nirvana for ourselves when all beings are not happy, peace, not achieve Nirvana,

Thus, if the Pure Land is based on the beliefs, virtues, and virtues, the method of meditation using the Mantra of Compassion is also not far from the Pure Land method, The name Amitabha Buddha, we recite the title Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Great Mantra. At this point, the practitioners deeply influenced by the Pure Land thought-those who are often anxious about the postmortem- will certainly raise the question: But then, after meditating, we meditators - Quan Yin sound, if not attain enlightenment in the present life will go back to where? Dear friend, the question is timely, because the devil can visit us at any time, it is better to prepare. However, do not waste your time worrying about this because you remember, in the Great Compassion, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara has promised us that those who recite the Mahayana Mantra surely after death will not fall into the path of evil. The promised Bodhisatta is certainly unchangeable, which means that you are certain that you will never fall into the trappings, infernal, or animal. So the problem is simple: You have the freedom to choose the Pure Land that you desire to be reborn including the Western Bliss of Amitabha Buddha. However, by following the merits of saving the lives of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, the Quan Yin practitioners as mentioned above are not only seeking the liberation of their own individual but also wanting to embark on the quarrel. social good, environment, building a human Pure Land of the world, for all beings, In the age in which we live we are closer to the Pure Land. Because of that positive nature, please recommend the following three for your thoughts and choices. After making the decision, you must immediately pledge to the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to Himself for confirmation and be sure that He will be present to you before the dead, guide you to the realm of desire:

o Rebirth back to earth continuity Bodhisattvas on the way, propagate profit, turn the human realm into the Pure Land.

o About the realm of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, ie down the hell realms continue to practice with the Bodhisattva, practice the task of prayer: "If you turn to the hell realm, hell soon dissipate itself.

Ma To Maitreya Bodhisattva to continue to study, until the Bodhisattva of the deceased will follow his foot back to the world of Long Hoa.

However, again, the most important thing is that we now live in this world, in this present moment, so the immediate task of our Buddhists is to shake hands immediately. The construction of a Pure Land of Nature, which is also the Pure Land of Maitreya that every Buddhist aspire, dreamed of. That is the message of the Mantra of Compassion.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.15/9/2017.
