How to pronouce om mani padme hum correctly?

Positron SG

Hi Positron,

This mantra is the mantra of Chenrezig/Guan Yin. I'd post up a article by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche on this mantra later. It purifies your bad karma, creates good energy in you, removes the obscurations that block your buddha-nature so that you can realise emptiness, it creates merit and great blessings.... many people pray to Guan Yin for help in urgent situations like accidents, disasters, great pain, sickness etc. And this mantra is the main essential mantra of Guan Yin. Very very powerful for healing, and wishfulfilling definitely. At the end of your life, you will not fall into the lower realms and if you are diligent, Guan Yin will guide you to Amitabha pureland.

Many Buddhists chant this mantra, because it is both short and simple and yet full of blessings... there are many stories of people who received spiritual accomplishments from a full faith and practice of this mantra.

Make a target to chant at least 700,000 in your life. The mantra blessings get stronger as you chant more...

700,000!!!That's alot.

Hi Dawnfirstlight,

Chant mani mantra can reborn in Amitabha's pureland. Many masters have said. Chenrezig is the foremost Pusa in the pureland there... so of course supplicating him will bring one to the pureland... many Tibetans go there through their practice of mani.

Most important is the aspiration to go Amitabha pureland. You must really wish to go and pray to go. Then recite the mani mantra at the same time.

I see.Chanting this can attain rebirth in pureland too.

I got a question,nowadays some of the buddhsit I know listen to mp3 files that recites the buddha name. medicine buddha,amtb buddha,guang ying pusa etc.

Listening to those mp3 files will make merit, purify bad karma and make good karma?

If you chant everyday, it's not difficult. If not in one year, then in a few... if not in a few years, then in 10 years. 10 years = 3650 days, if you chant 200 everyday then thats 730,000.

Positron SG

Then those ppl who do not chant but listen to the recitation get different results from ppl who make it a point to chant?

Yes, chanting yourself is very different.. if you only listen but don't chant it's not so effective. It's like seeing other people eat, you won't get full.

Cos nowadays many buddha recitation gt nice music.They can listen to one hour of chanting AMTF but they wont make it a point to chant one.

I wonder is it right to publish beautiful recitation of AMTF with nice music?

I got see heart sutra songs too.Triple gems songs. Still gt other songs my frenz let me listen.Even songs of amittabha sutra sung with beautiful background music.

It's fang bian fa (skillful means), can make people interested in chanting and Buddhism.

But then ppl will listen to it but wont chant or recite sutra cos no nice music.Then become lazy gt music then listen no music dont do anything.

Also will become attached to the nice music.Wait addiction occurs.

I think I should advice ppl to chant or recite not only listen to nice music.Must do the real thing.

If that person have affinity with Buddhism, they will know what to do next.

If they don't, then bo bian lor. Even Buddha cannot help those who 'mei you yuan'.

Yes...

All arts and forms are fang bian.

Ultimately, what the Buddha want us to realize is this:

凡所有相，皆是虚妄。若见诸相非相，则见如来

“All forms are but illusions, in seeing that all forms are illusory, one sees the Tathagata.”

Thanks for correcting me. I've learnt something.

sinweiy SG

ya, it's all in the Aspiration or Wish or Vow or 愿 or whether one wish to go to PL or not.

so even Hinayana practice can also go to PL with their wholesome practice, when they transfer their merit and bring forth the Aspiration to go when the time come. It's written in Contemplation Sutra.
