People call Tibet the “Mani Country” or “Mala Country” because of the recitation of “Om Mani Padme Hung” and the possession of malas. Naturally, Tibetans tried to help others because of the blessing of Om Mani Padme Hung. Today the blessing of Chenrezi is rising in the West; most practitioners know this mantra. However, we have to know the detailed meanings of the mantra to fully achieve its blessings.
This talk will cover:
– The correct pronunciation as you chant;
– How to visualize the mantra
– How to use it in your daily life.
– How to keep the vows (samaya) between Chenrezi and you, between your voice and the mantra, and between your mind and compassion.
– How to practice when you are experiencing difficult times
