Om mani padme hum

How so?

Well, think about an ancient mantra like Om Mani Padme Hum that is designed to dissolve the ego and connect the practitioner to universal compassion.

Right.

The goal is internal transformation.

That's the energy of love.

Saying a chant like Om Mani Padme Hum.

The jewel is in the lotus, meaning your brilliance of consciousness is held within and you're expanding that out.

So Om Mani Padme Hum.

There's so many.

And so many people, like on Sounds True, put out wonderful chants that you can do.

It's deeper than whatever is going on even all the way out, out here, the-- of everything that we see.

It, you know, it is the jewel in the lotus in-- as, uh, Om Mani Padme Hum would say, like, you know, the, the jewel is in the lotus.

It's like the tiny space is in the heart.

Hmm.

But we were taught that we must do the repetition, but keep bringing our mind to listening to the sound of the words.

And they taught us a lot of theory behind the meaning of the representative philosophy behind that particular repetition right so for example in the Buddhist traditions which is considered non-religious like there is some philosophy into being and existence on a repetition called Om Padme Om, Om Padme Om, Om Padme Om.

Or they attribute an energy or a female entity in the Tibetan Buddhism, right? That's a protective entity, Om Tare Tutare Ture Saha.

Right? This is from the Buddhist tradition.

While the monk, remaining perfectly still, uses one of the most foundational mantras in Mahayana Buddhism.

Om Mani Padme Hum is often translated as the jewel is in the lotus.

And what does that mean in this context?

It is fundamentally a mantra of compassion, purification, and the transformation of impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exaltation of a Buddha.

Wishing well, wishing well, wishing well So I could feel these benevolent spirits bringing this prayer in and then this chorus traveling to places on the earth, places of suffering, like going right to those places, not avoiding them, but going right into those places of deep suffering and singing this prayer.

So it's like my Buddhist friend, the Om Mani Padme Hum, like may all beings...

And these different, or loka, samasta, sukhino, bhavantu, may all beings be happy and well.

And so I feel like that is at the heart of this album.

So it's like this that we practice together.

Om Mani Padme Hum Om Mani Padme Hum Oh, my name.

Mani Mami O Mani Mami O Mani Mami O Mani Mami O Mani Mami O Mani Mami O Mani Mami O Mani Mami O Mani Mami O Mani Mami O Mani Mami Om Mani Mami Om Mani Mami Om Mani Mami Om Mani Mami Om oh my name Om Mani Mami Om Om Mani Mami Om Mani Bami Om Mani Bami Om Mani Bami Om My name on me home My name on me home My name on me home

Let the silence after the sound invite and even draw your attention into the body field, into these kaya sankara, these dancing sensations, this movement of breathing, Let there be the quality of bright, upright alertness in the posture, but equally a sense of ease, relaxation, effortlessness.
