The enlightened mind wants treasure-the merits of reciting the six-character Daming mantra!
extract
Avalokitesvara is a fully enlightened Buddha who manifests himself for the benefit of all beings. All Buddhas are the same in nature, and the performance of compassion is Guanyin Bodhisattva. Avalokitesvara is not only the manifestation of compassion of all buddhas, but also the origin of all buddhas and bodhisattvas, because compassion is the most fundamental thing to realize buddhas, and avalokitesvara is the true form of compassion. Guanyin is a Buddha, Guanyin is a dharma and Guanyin is a monk; Guanyin is the guru, Guanyin is the deity, and Guanyin is empty; Guanyin is the dharma body, Guanyin is the body and Guanyin is the embodiment; Guanyin is amitabha Buddha, Guanyin is a lotus master and Guanyin is Ayatollah; In a word, avalokitesvara is our fundamental teacher. Just like a hundred rivers converge under a bridge, Guanyin Bodhisattva is a collection of Buddhas. To accept his blessing is to accept the blessings of the buddhas; To understand his nature is to understand the nature of the buddhas.
In this dark age, avalokitesvara became a lotus master. Because he vowed to benefit all beings in this era, his wisdom, compassion and strength are faster than any other Buddha. There are countless incarnations of avalokitesvara: kings, good knowledge, ordinary people, wild animals, and even mountains, trees and bridges. Any form that can meet the needs of all beings. Even a cool breeze blowing on a hot day, or a moment of comfort when you are sick, are all manifestations of Guanyin Bodhisattva's compassion.
Similarly, the six-character mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva-Ommoni Padmehum-is the voice expression of compassion and wisdom of the Buddhas. It contains the essence of 84 thousand Buddhism. Among many different mantras, such as the Ming Mantra, the Darani Mantra and the Secret Mantra, none is better than the six-character Daming Mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The great benefits of chanting this mantra, commonly known as Mani mantra, have been repeatedly mentioned in Buddhist scriptures and secret continuations. It is said that holding a hemp spell once is equivalent to twelve o'clock taught by chanting Buddha. The chanting of the six-character Daming mantra has completed the six-degree bodhisattva, which can firmly put an end to the possibility of any incarnation of six Tao. This is a simple practice, easy to understand, and everyone can practice it. It also contains the essence of Buddhism. If you take the hemp curse as a refuge for happiness and pain, then Guanyin Bodhisattva will always be with you. You will become more and more pious, not hypocritical, and naturally rise to all understanding of Mahayana.
According to the records in shurangama mantra, if you recite this mantra 100 million times, countless living beings on your body will be blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva. After death, even the smoke from the corpse can protect the inhaler from reincarnation into the three evils.
Even a word of this mantra-hum, ah, etc.-has incredible power and can bless and free all beings. It is said that the Buddha has extraordinary ability to surpass any sentient beings, for example, he can correctly tell how many raindrops there are in the storm that has been raining for 12 years, but even the Buddha can't completely tell the merits and demerits of saying a spell. If the Buddha began to make this statement, even if all the forests on the earth were made into paper, it would not be enough to write down the merits of the smallest part.
Nothing in the world can really scare away death, but the warmth and light of Guanyin Bodhisattva's sad heart can completely dispel the fear that anyone gets when death approaches. This is the so-called "shelter from bullying". Avalokitesvara is not bound by reincarnation at all, and is always helping all beings. Even the smallest gesture-a gesture and a wink-has the power to help us get out of samsara. When we pray to him by chanting, don't think that he is in a distant pure land and can't hear, because Guanyin Bodhisattva has always been around people who have confidence in him. Due to our own obstacles, we can't go to Mount Putuo, the pure land of Amitabha Buddha, to see Guanyin Bodhisattva in person. In fact, his compassion does not abandon any sentient beings, and he is constantly transformed into any form that can best benefit all sentient beings, especially into great good knowledge. Therefore, we must firmly believe that avalokitesvara is the supreme savior, and he will be freed for all sentient beings to see. This is actually our fundamental teacher.
The rain of compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva spread all over the world without any difference. However, where the seeds of confidence wither, happy crops will not grow. Lack of self-confidence is to shut yourself in the warm sunshine of his blessing, just like shutting yourself in a dark room. If you have confidence, there will be no distance and lag between you and the blessing of avalokitesvara.
The six-character Daming mantra is the essence of avalokitesvara and the six-degree mantra of the bodhisattva. After reading this mantra, six paramita naturally arises and bodhicitta is achieved at the same time.
All Buddhist scriptures and the supreme practice of intensive training can be condensed into piety to the guru, and these teaching methods are obtained from the practice of chanting mantras. Remember that devotion to the guru is the source of all enlightenment; The essence of guru yoga-that is, integrating your heart with the nature of avalokitesvara-is the most profound of all practices. Please recite the six-character Daming mantra.
Jingang language
Chanting scriptures, practicing dharma and dropping spells are all plays;
All six words are French pronunciation.
All sounds are the same as Guanyin;
The voice is as empty as a mantra.
Spells are one of the elements of Vajrayana practice. Mantra is Sanskrit, and in the category of sound, its importance is equal to that of God in the category of form. There are many different types of mantras, including Ming Mantra, Secret Mantra and Dalagni Mantra, as well as Approaching Mantra, Achievement Mantra and Achievement Mantra.
But no spell is considered better than it. It includes not only the functions of all spells, but also all the powers and blessings of other spells. Sages who studied in the past, such as Chagemei, found no more useful, accurate and easy mantra in Buddhist scriptures, so they regarded it as their main practice. Even if you only hear the mantra, you can get rid of reincarnation. For example, there is a story that says:
500 insects are struggling in a stinking pit. Avalokitesvara felt their pain, so she became a golden bee and flew over the pit with the sound of mantras. As soon as these bugs heard the sound of the six-character Daming mantra, they completely relieved their pain and were reincarnated.
Mantra is not a string of ordinary words, it contains all the compassion and blessings of avalokitesvara; In fact, the mantra is the sound form of avalokitesvara. Now, due to our karma, in its pure land, we really can't see Guanyin Bodhisattva; But all we can do is listen to his mantra, recite it, read it out, and write it beautifully with good words. Because the curse is the heart of this god. There is no difference with the deity, so these actions will bring benefits. The six-character Daming mantra is the sixth expression of Guanyin Bodhisattva. As Guanyin Bodhisattva said, whoever reads the six-character mantra will become a six-degree bodhisattva and purify all karma.
In order to recite this mantra, we should first visualize Guanyin Bodhisattva as clearly and vividly as possible as mentioned above. In the heart of Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is a six-petal lotus which is the only full moon in the world. At the center of the full moon, there is a word "what" and a word "huh? It is beautiful "like a string of pearls around it clockwise, praying for the radiant light to support Xanadu, dense pure land and all other countless pure land." Each lamp carries many offerings, such as Eight Auspiciouss, Eight Treasures, Seven Treasures of Wheel King, Full Wishing Tree, Aquarius and so on. The vast cloud of support is full of emptiness, supporting every Buddha and Bodhisattva in the pure land. Because the buddhas accepted the offerings, you accumulated merits and wisdom.
All the light returns, bringing back the blessings of Buddha's body, language and meaning in the form of nectar, and the wisdom, strength and love that follow, and integrating them into the mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Avalokitesvara has become more brilliant and dazzling, like gold washed with saffron.
Once again, the curse emits countless rays, except for the pain of six sentient beings: the scorching heat of hell and the biting cold; Hungry ghosts are insatiable hunger; Madness, slavery and cruelty to wild animals; Humane birth and death; Asura's jealousy and feud; Heaven suffered dramatically from the joyful and charming world of goodness and strangeness, and finally fell into three evil ways. These pains are gone by the cursed CD-ROM drive, just as the morning light melts the frost in the winter grass, and all beings turn into avalokitesvara: from your surroundings, the whole universe finally becomes the pure land of Putuo Mountain.
After benefiting all sentient beings in this way, all the light is taken back to myself-Guanyin Bodhisattva. Every pore in your body contains countless pure lands, and every pure land echoes the sound of the six-character Daming mantra. Its sound fills the gap, just like the purr of millions of bees flying out of a broken hive. Well, the mantra removes ignorance and subdues all demons. Mantras awaken the audience from meditation and lead them into Mahayana. The mantra supports the bodhisattva and exhorts the bodhisattva to continue to benefit all beings; The spell requires the dharma protector to protect the teaching method and promote all happiness.
Wind, the sound of running water, the crackling sound of fire, the cries of animals, the songs of birds, and the voices of people-all the voices in the universe-are the natural sounds of the six-character Daming mantra, the echoes of voices, and the silent dharma body. By reciting the practice of King Kong Yoga, you will easily prove the achievements of * * * and * *.
As the saying goes, there is no greater evil than hate, and there is no greater good than patience. One thought is enough to destroy the infinite merits of robbery and lead to unspeakable pain in hell; Endure those who hurt you, and sincerely hope that they will be happy, which will make you quickly move towards the road of achievement of all Buddhas.
Understand that your enemies are your beloved parents in the past, and there is no better way to treat them than to love them deeply; There is no better way to raise relatives and take care of others than to practice Buddhism and repay the merits of all beings; Nothing matures and gains more fruits of merit and wisdom than sowing in the land of confidence and diligence.
As the saying goes, "Only compassion can subdue evil. Therefore, in the face of all difficulties in the world, we recite the truth and pray that all people and non-people who are overwhelmed by resentment and just want to hurt, kill and destroy can be influenced by compassion and initiate supreme bodhicitta.
Usually hearing praise, good news or wonderful concerts brings us happiness; On the other hand, whenever we hear criticism, false accusations, bad news or harsh noise against our loved ones, we will immediately feel depressed or angry. It is not the voice itself that can produce this emotion, but persistence. Bodhisattva understands that the nature of the heart is lifeless, but all sounds are spells, good or bad; Praise will not make him proud, and bad words will not arouse his anger, but will only increase his patience and compassion. If you treat all sounds as spells, good news or bad news will not bother you any more than the wind will disturb the mountains. In fact, when you are angry with bad news, you just make yourself miserable. You can neither bring the dead back to life nor take back your property.
Sound, like Vientiane, is the result of many factors and environments and cannot exist independently. The beautiful sound of the piano depends on the harmony of the strings. If a string is broken or not well tuned, the rhyme will be discordant and unpleasant. Examine any sound carefully and deeply; Naturally, wind, thunder, rustling leaves, animal howling, human speech and singing are all basic elements of sound, and the essence of these sounds is emptiness.
The seed word "A" symbolizes inanimate nature, is the root of all sounds, and contains the essence of wisdom Buddha. In particular, "A" produced the six-character Daming mantra. When reciting this mantra, it is important to know that all sounds are born of emptiness, and emptiness is the endless manifestation of the mantra. If so, just a little chanting will also produce results. This is the practice of bringing all sounds into the Tao of Practice.
Ordinary small talk is a sign of greed and hatred, which will only make the wheel of delusion turn faster and faster. But holding a spell will protect your heart and guide you to understand the wisdom of language. So keep reciting the six-character Daming mantra until it becomes one with breathing.
When you can visualize your body clearly and steadily, and recite the mantra as described in the paragraph of King Kong, you will improve your practice. The first word of avalokitesvara mantra, Om, symbolizes five wisdom, which is an auspicious word. Most spells begin with "om". "Well" means treasure, "bridle" means lotus, and "bang" is a common knowledge to welcome avalokitesvara. The whole phrase can be translated as: "You, Lian Bao, have given me all the knowledge. By repeating the six-character Daming mantra, you remember and welcome the endless merits of Guanyin Bodhisattva, as if calling him from a distant place. He will respond with compassion and satisfy all your wishes.
In order to bless all beings, avalokitesvara gave a six-character Daming mantra, which is equal to her own strength and the echo of emptiness. The written six-character Daming mantra can free all sentient beings; Reciting the six-character Daming mantra can free all sentient beings who have heard it; If you think of it in your mind, remember it and you can let it go; Put him on your body and touch him to get rid of him. If you are used to treating all sounds as curses, you won't feel scared when you hear the horrible sounds in Yin qi. Through this spell, avalokitesvara performed a great and infinite cause of compassion. Therefore, with strong piety, I regard all the cosmic sounds I hear as the vibration of the mantra sound and recite the six-character Daming mantra.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is the essence of Tathagata, and it is Buddha nature. Recite its six-character mantra, and all the merits of the dharma body will be carried out effortlessly.
The Buddha statue is a collection of Guanyin.
A mantra should always be a mantra;
One way to make a circle is to collect bodhicitta,
It is a relief to recite everything once you realize it.
Sakyamuni Buddha is one of the incarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Buddhism, which guides us what to avoid and what to practice, is perfectly contained in the six-character Daming mantra; The Sangha is a bodhisattva who helps us to guide the way, and it is also the embodiment of Guanyin Bodhisattva. So avalokitesvara is a combination of three treasures. Just as a reservoir collects countless raindrops, the compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva also covers all the wisdom of Manjusri Bodhisattva and all the power of Vajrayana Bodhisattva. It's this statue, a spell and a repair, and you can achieve everything.
Many gods have countless forms: silence or anger, one head, three heads or many heads, two, four, six or more arms, each of which symbolizes different merits. However, you can believe that they were all absorbed by avalokitesvara. Similarly, since the benefits of other infinite spells are included in the six-character Daming mantra, you can recite this mantra wholeheartedly. Your body, language and heart are the same as Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is the essence of your practice.
At the same time, among all the ways to achieve the ultimate goal, the most important thing is to continue and expand the vast bodhicitta. According to the unique formula of Kadang's guru professor, I will first introduce you to the nature of the heart-bodhicitta, and then you will cultivate your compassion for all sentient beings-"relative bodhicitta."
The concept of circulation is lifeless in reality, neither born nor dead. Without such knowledge, it is very difficult to control the wild heart. With this knowledge, when an idea arises, you don't pursue it, but live in the natural state of your heart, which is called "bodhicitta".
Once you catch a glimpse of the essence of the mind in this way, your understanding of bodhicitta will be deepened by two relative bodhicitta practices: Bodhi is willing to achieve Buddha's fruit for all beings and Bodhi practices to really put this wish into practice. As mentioned above, it is not enough to make a wish to help others. You must really benefit all sentient beings like avalokitesvara. To achieve this goal, you observe Guanyin, recite its spells and meditate on its intelligent nature. When you continue to practice like this, your delusions will become less and less. When wisdom is in full bloom in you, it will enable you to fulfill your needs at this moment and later.
When people get together to talk, most of the content is meaningless. Their conversation mainly stems from greed and disgust, which will only increase their troubles. These meaningless conversations will disturb our hearts and make our thoughts float in the wind like paper flags.
The proverb says, "the mouth is the door of sin." Chick words, lies, bad words and tongue twisters will all lead to endless interference and inner injustice. Even glib and eloquent eloquence will often only waste our time and bring trouble. This is why what is said in "The Secret Mantra Multiplication" is more helpful: it is more helpful to hold a mantra for one month and keep silent than to hold a mantra for a whole year, but still mix it in daily conversation. Practice correctly like the former, without any interference from other conversations. Reciting mantras can retain all its power, and finally can achieve a clear vision of truth outside the language, because mantras are natural * * * sounds and do not explain reality. If we use forbidden words to eliminate endless chatting in our daily life and only recite the six-character Daming mantra, our practice will make rapid progress.
Even if you just recite a little mantra or practice for a while, you will get more treasures from the awakened one. In order to know that wealth in the world can't bring tangible benefits to us in this life or the next, we recite the six-character Daming Mantra with diligence, respect and joy.
Don't forget, life is fleeting, just like lightning or a wave of hands in summer. Now you have a chance to learn Buddhism. Don't waste any time on other things. Put all your energy into reciting the six-character mantra.
The six-character Daming mantra has the power to cure all troubles and can bring incredible benefits, but if you can't recite it correctly and attentively, it can't fully play its role. If you are often disturbed by your body's feelings when reciting, looking at other things, chatting or imagining with others, the power of the spell will be like a dusty piece of gold, and its luster will never be detected.
Even if you can turn the rosary quickly between your fingers, what's the use of superficial practice? The key point is not only to accumulate a large number of reciting times at any cost, but also to have a deeper understanding of the exercise and its purpose.
In order to get the full effect of chanting, keep the correct posture of your body and don't shake it at will; Forbidden words only recite the six-character Daming mantra, without saying a word; It is important to focus on imagination and not be disturbed by past memories or future plans.
Vow to follow the example of the venerable Milarepa, leave all the busy affairs and unnecessary interference in daily life, drive away laziness and troubles from the heart, and devote yourself to the practice of Buddhism. If you can practice like this, there is no doubt that your heart will be blessed by buddhas and bodhisattvas.
Buddhist practice can make you live in the same sense whether you are sitting in your seat or sitting under it. This is the essence of all enlightenment. Without it, no matter how many spells or prayers you recite, or how many times you worship or circle the tower, as long as your heart is still disturbed, it will not help you eliminate the obstacles of trouble at all. Never forget this most important point, recite the six-character Daming mantra.
