(By Tsem Rinpoche)

Dear friends,

I came across this beautiful video of HH the Dalai Lama giving a short teaching on the meaning of Chenrezig’s (aka Kuan Yin or Avaloketishvara) mantra, OM MANI PADME HUNG, to a teenager in one of His Holiness’ talks. I thought I’d share it here for all of my students and friends…

It is important to know the meaning of mantras and the purpose of reciting them. Most of us do mantras every day as part of our daily prayers… so it’ll be very useful to understand the video in order to gain the maximum benefit while reciting mantras.

Do watch this short 5 minute video and let me know what you have understood.

Transcript

I have always been speaking the prayer OM MANI PADME HUNG, but without actually knowing what it means. I have been asking this question to many of my elders but I fail to get the answer. So what does it mean?

Prayer and also recitation of mantra, just simply repeat the sound? Not much happen.

Particularly OM MANI PADME HUNG, that’s one Buddhist mantra. The sound, the whole Buddhist system is utilize human intelligence the maximum way, through that way, transform our emotion. That’s Buddhist way of thought.

The other tradition, most of these Church tradition many through faith, through prayer, to God, to creator. It is also, immense powerful, wonderful thing. All religious tradition carry same message or same practice. The practice of love, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, self discipline… same.

Then, most of the church religions, prayer is most important part. Buddhist, Buddha’s student, you are your own master, your future entirely depend on yourself.

So, in Buddhism, Buddha taught study is very very important, knowledge is very important, in order to utilize human intelligence fully. We have to know, how to use and in order to utilize, you must know the mental function, mental system, these things as I have mentioned before.

So, you pay more attention, study what’s Buddhist system, then with understanding about the whole system, transformation of our mind, with that clear, full knowledge, that ultimate end and sincere motivation, then recitation of this mantra is very useful. Clear?

OM MANI PADME HUNG, of course I don’t know if it’s relevant to explain here or not, I don’t know. But you see the six syllabus OM MA NI PAD ME HUNG.

So OM that some mantra is common in Buddhism and also many different religion, Hinduism… ‘OM’. But here, Buddhist explain OM there are three letters A, U, M, that represents our body, mind and speech. So there are two levels, body, speech, mind impure level, that creates, that’s the basis of self. So therefore the experiencer’s pains and pleasure, the body, mind, mainly the body, mind… transform into pure, pleasant, ever pleasant body and mind. See, the body, mind and then automatically speech also. So that represent A, U, M. OM represent impure level, impure part and pure part.

Now how to transform impure part into pure? Three impure transform into pure three, then MANI and PADME. MANI means jewel, here jewel meaning altruism, infinite altruism. Then PADME, PADME means wisdom. Altruism and wisdom combine that’s represent HUNG. HUNG carry meaning of combination, altruism and wisdom combine. Through that way, that’s the proper way, method to purify three impure, in order to become pure three body, speech and mind. Clear?

    Om mani padme hum is an ancient Buddhist mantra. While it is one of the most commonly chanted mantras in general. Generally, each syllable represents one of the six goals of Buddhist existence and helps heal or purify and bring forth the positive qualities associated with that goal. Chanting in general soothes the senses and sends energy to the parts of our body. Calming sounds are known to help heal the body and mind. Chanting OM MANI PADME HUM , is the essence of all Dharma that’s the purest Dharma.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing with us the video of which HH Dalai Lama explained it all.

    Wonderful teachings of the meaning of OM MANI PADME HUNG. The Om Mani Padme Hung mantra is at the heart of many Buddhist traditions. When one recite the mantra Om Mani Padme Hung to oneself, it invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. It will then transform our impure body, speech, and mind.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

    In order to recite the mantra Om Mani Padme Hung meaningfully , the Dalai Lama says we should study the Dharma and gain full knowledge.All of Buddha’s teachings, the Dharma, have been compiled as the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment or the Lamrim. Studying Rinpoche’s blog and youtube teachings would give us all the Dharma that we find in the Lamrim.

    The Dalai Lama says that once we have studied and gained full knowledge of the Dharma, we should practice it via transforming our minds. With full knowledge and a pure motivation, the recitation of this mantra becomes very meaningful. In essence the mantra means that we transform our impure state of body, speech and mind to a pure “ever pleasant” state through altruism and wisdom. The pure state would be the state of full enlightenment.Altruism and Wisdom are the two lineages of the Lamrim – Altruism is the method or Extensive Lineage and Wisdom is the Profound Lineage. Hence the Mantra is the entire Dharma (of the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment)with its two Lineages- the whole path to Enlightenment!

    When we recite the mantra, we are , in a nutshell, tracing the whole path of practice of the Dharma, all the way to Enlightenment!

    Thx Rinpoche and H.H Dalai Lama for sharing. I did know this mantra more than 25 years but thus us the first time I truly understand the meaning of the mantra. Most of people know this is Kuan Yin mantra. Purify body ,speech and mind (transformation from impure to pure) is the meaning of this mantra.how to do it?in my opinion, is following Buddha teachings.Wisdom and compassion are the most important thing to apply on mind transformation.

  5. Wan Wai Meng on Mar 30, 2014 at 5:12 pm

    Also this great mantra of Avalokiteshvara is known to be able to close the doors for a rebirth in the six realms of samsara. When we purify our body, speech and minds, we create the pure body speech and mind to appear which is the buddha’s body speech and mind.

  6. Wan Wai Meng on Mar 30, 2014 at 5:04 pm

    When we recite mantra, we need to back it up with understanding and knowledge. With more knowledge then our when we recite the mantra it is powerful and can give us the effects we long for.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this very good video of the H.E. The Dalai Lama. I love this explanation. So clear.

  8. Low KHJB on Feb 3, 2014 at 9:48 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing.The explanation given by the H.H.Dalai Lama was informative on the mantra OM MANI PADME HUNG.

    In being mindful and with the correct motivation ,when we are reciting it would bring better results.

  9. Leu Chong Hin (KH JB) on Feb 3, 2014 at 2:32 pm

    Thanks for Rinpoche sharing. I feel the explanation are so wonderful.
    We should understand what we recite everyday. That made sense what we practice. Our minds not like a machine and how fast we can recite the mantra how many mantra we recite daily doesn’t bring much benefits to us if our mind doesn’t made it clear what we recite. Understanding what we do are importance.
    Thanks.

    As said, reciting the mantra of Avalokitesvara or Kuan Yin Pusa as known to the Chinese, is said to fulfil the six perfections and to protect the reciter against misfortune. A typical Tibetan exegesis relates each of the six syllables to the six realms of conditioned existence. Avalokitesvara,or Kuan Yin Pusa, whose name means “one who sees and hears the cries from the human World” appears in each realm offering what the inhabitants need in order to awaken from that state. It is said each of the letters in Tibet, is coloured to match the colour of Avalokitesvara’s manifestation in that realm. The mantra then is seen as activating that quality in the universe which liberates beings in whatever realm they are in. It is said that she cares for the souls in the underworld, and is invoked to free the souls of the deceased from the torments of purgatory as a mother of compassion with motherly loving kindnesses!!! Om mani padme hung.

    Thank you, Rinpoche for sharing this wonderful teaching by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on Om Mani Padme Hung. All this time I wouldn’t have known the true benefit and meaning of such a wonderful short mantra. Thank you for telling me that.

  12. Wai Kee on Jan 27, 2014 at 12:15 am

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the video by H.H Dalai Lama on the explanation of Om Mani Padme Hung. Like what H.H Dalai Lama has shared, by having the knowledge and understanding, together with sincere motivation helps to maximize the potential of mantra recitation. At least for me by understanding the meaning behind the mantra, it helps with visualization – purify my body speech and mind through mantra recitation. Thank you Rinpoche, may Rinpoche stays healthy and continue to turn the Dharma wheel and continue benefit all of sentient beings.

  13. Julien Roth on Jan 24, 2014 at 10:37 pm

  14. Alice Tay on Jan 18, 2014 at 3:25 pm

    感谢Rinpoche 的分享,这让我更了解与明白 Om Mani Pad Me Hung 的诠释。。。

    我会将此所知道的传达给身边的人,这样当我们持念的时候会更有信心与精进。。。

  15. KH Ng on Jan 15, 2014 at 6:42 pm

    His Holiness the Dalai Lama states that the main method in Buddhism is to transform the mind through knowledge and motivation. So we all need to read all the blogs and videos in Rinpoche’s blog as it is a repository of the entire Buddha Dharma, attend Dharma class for better understanding and contemplate on the meanings of the Dharma. Then through that understanding and practice, chant the mantras and really actualizing the meaning of the mantra. In the case of “Om Mani Padme Hum; it is to transform the body, speech and mind from the impure state to the pure state through altruism and wisdom.

    How wonderful. I aspire to actualize the mantra!

    WIth Folded Hands!

    “So, you pay more attention, study what’s Buddhist system, then with understanding about the whole system, transformation of our mind, with that clear, full knowledge, that ultimate end and sincere motivation, then recitation of this mantra is very useful. Clear?”

  17. Shelly tai on Jan 15, 2014 at 4:26 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this teaching with us. The meaning of Om Mani Padme Hung is for us to develop deep compassion is a reminder for us not to inflicted any harm to all mother sentient being even down to our enemies .

  18. AdelineTan on Jan 14, 2014 at 1:57 am

    Knowledge is very important, we must study Buddha’s teachings practise compassion, love, tolerance, forgiveness and self discipline. We have to transform our mind and recite the mantras with sincere motivation then it is very useful, if not it is just merely the repetition of sound, not much happen. Thank you for sharing the meaning of the mantra by H H Dalai Lama in this video.

      Thanks Pastor for your further advice to emphasize on studying the Buddha’s teachings.

  19. Ong Moh Mei on Jan 14, 2014 at 12:11 am

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this short but important video teaching by The Dalai Lama.

    My understanding from the video is that OM MANI PADME HUNG is mantra that gives aspiration to transform our body, speech and mind from our delusion state to a pure state through the compassion and wisdom of Buddha.

  20. So Kin Hoe (KH Ipoh) on Jan 13, 2014 at 11:10 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing on H.H. Dalai Lama’s explanation of mantra Om Mani Padme Hung. By knowing the meaning of this mantra, we can visualize our body, speech and mind to be purified with altruism or selflessness quality and wisdom from Buddha’s teaching during the recitation of this mantra. I am truly fortunate and feel blessed to have listened to H.H. Dalai Lama’s explanation on this video. May Rinpoche stay healthy and long life. Om Mani Padme Hung.

    The highest purification practice is the meditation on emptiness but for all us, that is pretty impossible at this stage. We instead can engage in prostrations, 35 Confessional Buddha sutra, taking and holding vows, refraining from harm and Vajrasattva practice. Purification practices are essential for our spiritual growth. They remove negative karmic imprints and mental defilements, creating space for positive qualities to flourish .Hence its very important to practice purification in our lives which will help to cleanse our mind of negative karma. These practice inturn also remove mental defilements like anger, jealousy, and attachment. There are four powers in order to purify negative actions, firstly the power of refuge, the power of regret, the power of the antidote, and the power of resolution. By removing negative influences, purification practices create a fertile ground to develop positive qualities such as love, compassion, and wisdom. These practices have the power to purify obscuration and negative karma that prevent us from actualizing the path. With the help of these purification techniques, such as prostration, mantra recitation of the 100-syllable mantra and meditation on the deity Vajrasattva involving visualization, we could transform of heavy energies into the lightness. Vajrasattva practice is a powerful purification practice in Tibetan Buddhism.
    Thank you Rinpoche for presenting us the practice of Vajrasattva.

    Osiris is a prominent figure in Egyptian mythology, known as the god of the afterlife and his worship involved rituals and festivals. Is also known the underworld, resurrection, and fertility . Osiris is famously depicted as a green-skinned, mummified figure, often described holding a crook and flail, and wearing a distinctive crown. Interesting story behind this Osiris as a king who was murdered by his own brother Seth because of extremely jealousy . Due to the popularity of his story filmmaker made it into American science fiction action film.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing of Egyptian mythology.

    Antique shops specializing in Buddhist art can be a good source, particularly for rare or antique pieces. But be cautious when buying from less reputable sources. Some statues may be illegally obtained such as stolen from temples or it might comes with something else .
    Hecelus Tan received an antique Buddha statue given by a relative. He looked at the statue feeling uneasy and having nightmare since then. Quite a few disturbance and he experienced unforeseen incidence as he related those nightmare to his parents. After consulted a Tibetan Buddhist friend as advice to return back to the shop. Then what happened next the Buddha’s head broken and was returned later.
    Thank you sharing your first paranormal experience.

    Revisit this article of how the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden took trance of the famous Panglung Oracle that had helped the H H 14th Dalai Lama on his historic escape to India. A guerrilla fighting group was formed escorting Dalai Lama through the escape route as advised by the Oracle safely into exile in India, all the way invoking Dorje Shugden to keep them safe and protected . After ensuring that His Holiness was safely in exile, they returned back to Tibet staving off the Chinese incursions. The truth must be known to all its Dorje Shugden who had saved the Dalai Lama’s life.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.

    I do believe the paranormal, everything which includes unseen beings, spirits do exist after-all. Kids with special abilities, often referred as gifted or talented. They do demonstrate exceptional abilities in one or more areas, such as academics, arts, or sports. They may show advanced cognitive skills, creative thinking, or physical prowess for their age. Identifying and nurturing these abilities is crucial for their development and well-being. They somehow expressed themselves through art, music, or other creative pursuits. I do believe they have magical powers and especially the ones that are a little bit different. Interesting watching the video.

    The term Concert of Names of Manjushri is a tantric text within Tibetan Buddhism, describing the various names and qualities of the bodhisattva Manjushri. Its usually recited and often memorized by practitioners in Buddhist ceremonies The text consists of verses that praise and invoke the qualities of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom and knowledge. By just chanting the names of Manjushri, bring numerous benefits, primarily focused on enhancing wisdom, memory, and clarity of mind. Some traditions associate the practice with protection from negative influences, such as black magic, sickness, and negative karma.

    The Jonang lineage traces its roots back to the 12th century, the profound teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. Interesting read of the History of Jonang lineage and how it converted to Gelug and how Kalachakra maintain in Gelug until today. The Jonang lineage is a school of Tibetan Buddhism that emphasizes the Kalachakra Tantra. It originated in Tibet, though suppressed in the 17th century, the Jonang tradition persevered in remote regions of Tibet and is now experiencing a revival. The Jonang lineage offers a unique perspective on Buddhist philosophy and practice, influencing other Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing about this profound lineage.

    Since escaping from China in 1959, Tibetans refugees settled down in different parts of Indian. The Tibetan leadership and those in exile were given land, opportunities, education and aid, and so many Western charities help them. The Indian government under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru was kind enough and they could do whatever they like. Tibetan settlements in South India have been severely affected by a regional drought. In Tibetian Buddhism accomplished masters could influence the weather. As long as practitioners accomplished in their practices, they had guru devotion and pure samaya with their teachers, it could be done. Many witnesses including our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche saw the masters could stop the rains. The prayers and rituals have not been effective as they gave up their commitments to their lineage lamas, related to their Dorje Shugden practice. Moreover they have lost faith in great master and gurus as they practise Dorje Shugden. They have creates very heavy negative karma. Great masters could stop the rains and making it rain and save the harvest. For the sake of the people who are suffering from horrendous drought, those samaya must be repaired practitioners must all be united again and not discriminate each others due to their Dorje Shugden practice. The Tibetan government should also repair this samaya. Interesting read .
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this .

    Manjushri is one of the most important figures in Mahayana Buddhism, and is considered a patron deity of wisdom and learning. By practicing Manjushri our wisdom can enhance and improve significantly. Helps help us with our memory.
    Through Rinpoche’s sponsorship at Gaden Sharte Monastery many monks had benefited. Rejoice to them receiving the initiation .Sponsoring the Dharma, which refers to supporting the teachings and practices of Buddhism, is considered a meritorious act in Buddhism. Acts of generosity and support for the Dharma are believed to generate positive karma, leading to positive consequences in this life and future lives.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and explaining it.

    David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter and actor and was once a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner. Regarded as among the most influential musicians of the 20th century . The English singer, songwriter and actor David Bowie died at his Lafayette Street home in New York City but in his will he requested his ashes to be spread according to the Buddhist rituals of Bali, Indonesia. He must been to Bali and fall for the beauty of Buddhism and culture of Bali to choose BUDDHIST ritual upon his death. David Bowie made a conscious choice that made perfect sense, not allowing fans and media to focus on his body and his death.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    HORRIFYING, feeling sad after watching the video. The way or rather methods of slaughtering of pigs at slaughter house is indeed cruel. Just like human beings, they do feel pain and fear to be slaughter. No living beings would choose to die in pain or a painful death. Hopefully those methods have since been changed to minimize animal suffering. Stop consuming meat and choosing to go meatless or on vegetarian is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this to bring awareness of how those poor pigs suffer before been killed.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    8 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
