I am just starting out on the Buddhist path. I would love to know what these mantras mean, the translation of them... Blessings!

@ClaireVillarreal 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, Jonathan, thanks for that suggestion! Maybe I'll add a "translation" into the video -- but the idea of a mantra is less that it has a meaning or a translation and more that the syllables themselves carry the energy of the buddhas they invoke. When Westerners first came into contact with Asian Buddhist cultures, they were really focused on translations, so some mantras have been "translated," like OM MANI PADME HUNG can mean something like "the jewel is in the lotus," but it leaves out the OM and the HUNG, which are key parts of the mantra. Is that helpful?

@SimPilot_OU-812 3 жыл бұрын

@@ClaireVillarreal very helpful! Since the comment I left, I had looked up the translations. I don't do the chants in English, I do them as you put them on here, but find that it helps me greatly to have an idea of what it is that I'm chanting. Through your video, I learned about Tara and have been reading about her and believe that I will include a statue of her as I put my shrine together.

Avalokitesvara's mantra is in tibetan "om mani pemme hung". Pronounced/spelt slightly differently than what you wrote in the vid description.

@ClaireVillarreal 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, Magickology, this mantra can be transliterated in a couple of different ways into English ("hung" or "hum"), and the Sanskrit-style pronunciation is "om mani padme hum", while the Tibetan is "om mani peme hum/hung," as you wrote. So there are several different "right" spelling and pronunciation combos possible. 😜

Can I practice it without initiation from realised person? And can I practice it in my bedroom as I have a very small house and not much of space.? I would be very grateful if you could reply please.Thanks.

@ClaireVillarreal 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, udennyn, these three mantras are very popular, and you'll benefit from practicing with them, even without an initiation. From a Tibetan perspective, they carry blessings -- and if you eventually have the chance to receive an initiation, all the better. :) And yes! You can practice mantras anywhere, anytime! Of course, it's helpful to have a small spot that you use just for meditation, but if that's not available, a comfortable seat is fine. You can even lie on your bed and mentally recite mantras before you fall asleep to refresh and relax your mind. The most important thing with mantra practice, as with any kind of meditation, is to put it into practice and see what happens. 💜🙏

Mantras are very beneficial. We chant mantras because they are short, simple & easy to remember or memorize. In short, a simple way to explain this is that chanting mantras with faith and a clear, focused mind will help us develop compassion, be able to control our minds, earn merits, and abolish our karma.

@ClaireVillarreal 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, Kirk, it depends on the tradition and even the teacher within a given tradition. In some Zen traditions, everyone wears a robe; in my lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, we laypeople are encouraged to wear the upper robe (sen) when we're practicing or receiving teachings. Are you part of a Buddhist community? If you are, you could ask your teachers or senior students about what's typical in your sangha.

Well, there are translated mantras, but many traditional cultures and groups don't translate mantras from the original language they were spoken. They do this so nothing is "lost in translation" and the mantras hold the exact same meaning and power from when they were originally said. Direct translations don't always make the same sense, or certain words or phrases don't translate
