Please open "Show more" tap below for details of "Om Mani Padme Hum", where to purchase a copy of the mantra and The Kālāma Sūtra (卡拉馬佛經) ~ "Om Mani Padme Hum" first known description of the mantra appears in the Karandavyuha Sutra (佛說大乘莊嚴寶王經/ The Buddha Teaches the Sutra of Mahayana King's Sublime Treasure), which is part of certain Mahayana canons such as the Tibetan's. It was stated inside the sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha said, "This is the most beneficial mantra, even I made this aspiration to all the million Buddhas and subsequently received this teaching from the Buddha Amitabha." This text is first dated to around the late 4th century CE to the early 5th century CE. "The Powers of the Six Syllables" The six syllables perfect the Six Paramitas of the Bodhisattvas. Gen Rinpoche, in his commentary on the Meaning of said: "The mantra Om Mani Pädme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say the first syllable : "Om" it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, "Ma" helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and "Ni" helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and patience. "Päd", the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, "Me" helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable "Hum" helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom. So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the six practices from generosity to wisdom. The path of these six perfections is the path walked by all the Buddhas of the three times. What could then be more meaningful than to say the mantra and accomplish the six perfections?" The six syllables purify the six realms of existence in suffering. _______________________________________ The Kālāma Sutta, also known as the Kālām Sutta; Sanskrit: Kālāma Sūtra; Burmese: Kalama thoke or Kethamotti thoke Thai: Kalama Sut, or KesamuttiSutta; Pāli: Kesamuttisuttaṃ, is a discourse of the Buddha contained in the Aṅguttara Nikaya of the Tipiṭaka. The Buddha himself left us with completely different criteria for determining what is and what not real Buddhism from those of any religion is. If we accept Buddha's words about his philosophy, it's obviously won't do to just look at history, even the most ancient strata........ "Kālāma Sūtra" Rely not on the teacher, but on the teaching. Rely not on the words of the teaching, but on the spirit of the words. Rely not on theory, but on experience. Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe anything because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and the benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it ~ The sutta starts off by describing how the Buddha passes through the village of Kesaputta and is greeted by its inhabitants, a clan called the Kalamas. They ask for his advice: they say that many wandering holy men and ascetics pass through, expounding their teachings and criticizing the teachings of others. So whose teachings should they follow? He delivers in response a sermon that serves as an entry point to the Buddhadhamma for those unconvinced by mere spectacular revelation. ___________________________________ To purchase the CD : "Tibetan Incantations: The Meditative Sound Of Buddhist" Chants [Import], please go to Amazon.com at : http://www.amazon.com/Tibetan-Incantations/dp/B00000JB12/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1334632225&sr;=1-3 At eBay please go to: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=Tibetan+Incantations&_sacat=11233 ____________________________________ I do not own the copyright of the audio track ~ My purpose for up loading this on to YouTube is to share it with the world whom seek for it ~ My sincere Thank You, may merit be bless to all for allowing me to accomplish this ~ Amitabha 阿彌陀佛 Namasté
