What is the mantra?

The mantra is the mind of the Buddhas, the secret language of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas great gods, great save from the samadhi, summarizing all the essence of magic in the universe. Under the Sanskrit mantra is called "mantra", which means "mind protection" unclean exit degenerations, negativity. Therefore, can be understood literally means original mantra fun, relieve suffering.

In Tantric Buddhism, the mantra is a vehicle used in parallel with household Buddhist meditation Yogacara (Yidam Yoga), also known as meditation deity.

Performance of the mantra is described in many texts esoteric Buddhism. However, boiled mantra has 5 wonderful performance below:

1. Dear loving : Who will be the mantra reads, sky, spirits esteem and affection;
2. Gains : increased interests in life as life, health, success;
3. Text ear : affliction would gradually eliminate the process of heavy goods under mild, mild becomes no more;
4. Surrender : exorcism, killing ghosts, ie the invisible evil force to harm human beings;
5. Verse million : the focus is subtle energies of the universe, from the higher realms magic ...

But that's only the benefits of the compounded, not to mention the benefits of the approach superior to inaction.

During the conference Surangama, the Buddha taught that even the higher Bodhisattva should also mantras. From this it can be seen that mantra really useful for sentient beings, including us humans. Here is a quote from strictly business to clear Mausoleum dread power of the mantra:

"Suppose beings are wandering mind, but if recitation of this mantra is also often untold 84,000 Kim Coalport day to keep bodyguards ... The evil spirits have shunned this seasoned staff outside the 10-by-week, and we'd like ghosts stalking harassment can not be ... "

Heathen have mantras or not? Pagan practitioner has its own mantra, with different capabilities, but can not be called a mantra. In them could be called natural notes, the first note, demons notes, love notes ... according to their religion. For example, in a Brahmin teacher pay with Brahma, the first Taoist with notes, in denominations worship spirits, demons, the demons have that kind of attention, love notes ... But only in new Buddhist mantras are called is the mantra.

Why so? The word "god" here does not mean the spirit realm, which is "unfathomable magic", magic idle, as the force of the Buddhas. Heathen have not reached that sublime realm, should not be called a mantra. Strategy is simply to say that, but for insight necessary to analyze more ...

Cause that is due to its shallow depth of every different direction. The pagan priests despite assiduous cultivation anywhere can only achieve success within jhana, the bowl; means from Zen meditation to the quarterfinals, then gradually up to the realm of non-African non-ideal idea is extreme. According to Buddhist teachings, if they are habitual cleansing ego, they can also take the Killing reach, escape samsara. But as they practice on the basis of ego remains so this is not going to happen. And hence the highest achievement available only in Buddhist practitioners, who practice the teachings of selflessness. Therefore pagan practitioner can only reach the level of Lust and the Immaterial, that is not out of the Three Realms. Hence, they are still propelled into realms of suffering brain, whether the gods Immaterial lived many eons.

Theravada practitioners can take to reach Killing, as absent were feeling warm, perfect warm air pollution and the collective ego of warm, touching the edge of the door of the Museum transformable application form, got rid of diamond rings radiating reincarnation. But it remains to translate the subtle variation and intensity of these very subtle delusions of stealth mode. Therefore, they have not achieved the Three-black University.

Particularly in Mahayana Buddhism, the way who practice the Bodhisattva, a Buddha, often reflect the law as illusory, practice facilities and wisdom Wisdom in Buddhism Pāramitā, higher osmotic Ball co-existing and self-interested illusion ... should achieve the force of the three-soot University, as Prime strict triangle prism-black, black-as illusory triangle, triangle-legs as soot, Vajra-black triangle ... When there is University was called the Noble to excellent results, become such great Buddhist saint in a very afraid themselves in samsara with scant defiled beings of infinite rows of countless lives, but without the public, that is outstanding characteristics of the mind, and the mind wonders so they can say the mantra theory. Therefore it can be inferred that the mantra is magical means.

Also this sense, the monk Hsuan each of Kabbalah explain its approach. He said that there are demons through (turns out the devil rules), the first information (rules of priority measures, the gods of heaven), drug information (variables of ghost rules), request information (variables propriety of demon). All kinds of rules that currently there are called "business information", just in a new Buddhist practitioners known as "Kabbalah", ie self-transformation, the clones countless memories ...

In the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva vows Bon, Monday Cart recorded a paragraph as follows:

"The human clone appeared throughout hundreds of thousands of untold memories all the world; in every world all turned out hundreds of thousands of memory itself, each one body that all memories of the hundreds of thousands of people, making sure they provided three glasses, permanently separated from birth and death, to be Nirvana peace ... "

The reason that is so is because the Buddhist holy person can achieve "Gonorrhea take informed" ¹ as a foundation that can not be pagan practitioners. From this reference point can be understood that the term mantra is meaningful only when used correctly in Buddhism, especially Tantric. From which we can infer, only Buddhist mantras to get the full 5 wonderful performance benefits as mentioned above at the level of the earth, and the earth export achievements will be further discussion solution in the next chapter.

 

The mantra in Buddhism is divided to 4 categories with different levels. Business In Mind-elegant bowl mention:

"This is the great mantra, proving great uncle, uncle supreme, numerous college class notes, likely subtract are all suffering, true non-frivolous claims." ²

There is also a mantra classifications include: initiation note, pay attention and customized pay attention. Normally, only export initiation Buddhas save new notes, such as "The Typewriter Thu Lang Nghiem Buddhist", or "Namgyalma Buddha mantra" ... In terms of the Buddhas mantra of the higher beings Portugal Slapping isogonal, ie the great bodhisattvas. However, in terms of the mantra, all were saved from the Great on the Three-black so wonderful capabilities are unthinkable.

In the practice of mantra sadhana has only taught how to recite, recitation. Generally, the mantra is emitted read out loud or big or small, and mantra is recited lyrical and under bell gong as currently performed in the temples, monasteries Mahayana.

If read out loud mantra should avoid the following eight errors that "Nghi Do Subahu requested funds" set:

1. Too fast,
2. Too slow,
3. Too large,
4. Too small,
5. Interrupted because talking to others,
6. Distraction
7. Yin Long, short read,
8. Short, long read.

The following is a detailed explanation:

Too fast is when the sound of the mantra and to each other, is not clear.

Too slow is when the practitioner does not read all the incantations over a period of moderate

So large that read like thunder, or make others read aloud to hear.

Too small to read that you do not hear.

Talking to others is to interrupt the reading of the mantra.

Distraction is not focused on the mantra that they are reading.

Short-term negative reading is mispronounced words of the mantra.

Short-term negative reading is mispronounced.

Private mantra silently in your mind that is read, or read that people chanting for just reading the collar heard.

6 mantras include the following way, which is recorded in "St. business" (aka "Dakini Teachings") by the University of Padmasambhava taught artist: ³

- A diamond is a concept, which means that only the anniversary of her neck chains can be heard.

- Reciting a tonal diamond, used the occasion to practice the great achievement.

- Mindfulness is a secret diamond anniversary quietly in place.

- Mindfulness as chakras, imagining the concept sounds from the mouth, goes into the navel, then dissolves back up the heart center.

- Mindfulness as Corolla, Corolla mantras revolve around each syllable mantra of the heart center and focus entirely on the syllable.

- Mantra to focus on the mantra sound is always perfectly focused attention on the sound of the mantra. ⁴

Although the mantra can be applied in all postures such as walking, standing, lying, sitting ... but when sitting cross-legged posture under ⁵ to be the best mantra. In particular, in "Holy Women" Our recommendation is, if the practitioner to read the tantric mantra or the mantra of the deity is too big, imposing outrageous abuse of power spell will decrease at the same time makes the species inhuman and evil will panic but unconscious. ⁶ Do not spit where passers-by, as this interferes with the capacity mantra. Particularly the incorrect pronunciation is not the most important issue in the mantra, which is essentially the sincerely, intensely.
