An Eternal Now SG

There is no English version, even though translations have been made.

Mantra should not be chanted in English, mantras are not translated into its meanings because it should retain its original vowel as it is a special kind of sound. I can't remember the name.

i guys must have spent a lot of effort to master this mantra bravo i am having headach now haha

Herzog_Zwei SG

Is it ritualization? But then there's always people trying to make a connection between mantra and mundra

An Eternal Now SG

No, it is not. I can't find the article on it by my Master right now, but just came across a passage by ChNNR which describes mantra as "being the natural sound of the dimension of the divinity, which thus function in practice as the vibrational key to that dimension"

As for the origins of Great Compassion Mantra, I remember it as being a natural universal sound being observed by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Maybe others can fill in on this.

Isis SG

Is this Great Compassion Mantra also known as Da pei Chan ( Great Compassionate Repentance ) ?

An Eternal Now SG

Yes.

kumangal SG

hi there is there any temple that teach this mantra

Herzog_Zwei SG

Yes, it is as it spoken in a language that is no longer used for common conversation.

Herzog_Zwei SG

Unfortunately no temple specializes in this mantra unlike Om Mani Padme Hum. However I do realize there are plenty of speakers and talks on it.

An Eternal Now SG

There are actually chantings, and they are quite commonly found, of the great compassionate mantra. One can learn the mantra from it.

TWE SG
