The middle part of the mantra, maṇipadme, is often interpreted as "jewel in the lotus," Sanskrit maṇí "jewel, gem, cintamani " and the locative of padma "lotus ", but according to Donald Lopez it is much more likely that maṇipadme is in fact a vocative , not a locative, addressing a bodhisattva called maṇipadma, "Jewel- Lotus"- an alternate epithet of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara .[5] It is preceded by the oṃ syllable and followed by the hūṃ syllable, both interjections without linguistic meaning. "om mani padme hūṃ hrīḥ" Lopez also notes that the majority of Tibetan Buddhist texts have regarded the translation of the mantra as secondary, focusing instead on the correspondence of the six syllables of the mantra to various other groupings of six in the Buddhist tradition.[6] For example, in the Chenrezig Sadhana , Tsangsar Tulku Rinpoche expands upon the mantra's meaning, taking its six syllables to represent the purification of the six realms of existence:[7] Syllable Six Purifies Samsaric Colors Symbol of (Wish them) To be Pāramitās realm the Deity born in Om Generosity Pride / Ego Devas White Wisdom Perfect Realm of Potala Ma Ethics Jealousy / Lust for Asuras Green Compassion Perfect Realm of entertainment Potala Ni Patience Passion / desire Humans Yellow Body, Dewachen speech, mind quality and activity Pad Diligence Ignorance / Animals Blue Equanimity the presence of prejudice Protector (Chenrezig ) Me Renunciation Greed / Pretas Red Bliss Perfect Realm of possessiveness (hungry Potala ghosts) Hum Wisdom Aggression / Naraka Black Quality of the presence of the hatred Compassion Lotus Throne (of Chenrezig) The Karandavyuha Sutra [edit] The first known description of the mantra appears in the Karandavyuha Sutra (Chinese: 佛說大乘莊嚴寶王經 [Taisho Tripitaka 1050];[8] English: Buddha speaks Mahayana Sublime Treasure King Sutra), which is part of certain Mahayana canons such as the Tibetan . In this sutra , Shakyamuni Buddha states, "This is the most beneficial mantra. Even I made this aspiration to all the million Buddhas and subsequently received this teaching from Buddha Amitabha ."[9] The Karandavyuha Sutra was published in the 11th century, where it appears in the Chinese Buddhist canon .[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om_mani_padme_hum[2/12/2018 10:28:58 AM] Om mani padme hum - Wikipedia Some Buddhist scholars, however, argue that the mantra as practiced in Tibetan Buddhism was based on the Sadhanamala , a collection of sadhana published in the 12th century.[10] The 14th Dalai Lama says [edit] "It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast... The first, Om [...] symbolizes the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; it also symbolizes the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha[...]" "The path is indicated by the next four syllables. Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method: (the) "om mani padme hūṃ", written in altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and Tibetan script on a rock outside the Potala love.[...]" Palace in Tibet "The two syllables, padme, meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom[...]" "Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility[...]" "Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha[...]" —H.H. Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama , "On the meaning of: Khyongla Rato Rinpoche teaching on [11] OM MANI PADME HUM" "Om Mani Padme Hum " on September 22nd, 2014, at The Tibet Center, NYC Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche says [edit] "The mantra Om Mani Pädme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say the first syllable Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and patience. Pä, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, Carved stone tablets, each with the and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in inscription "Om Mani Padme Hum " along the practice of wisdom. the paths of Zangskar "So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the six practices from generosity to wisdom. The path of these six perfections is the path walked by all the Buddhas of the three times.
