心经 Heart Sutra

观自在菩萨,行深般若波罗蜜多时,照见五蕴皆空,度一切苦厄。 舍利子,色不异空,空不异色,色即是空,空即是色。受、想、行、识,亦复如是。舍利子,是诸法空相:不生、不灭;不垢、不淨;不增、不减。是故空中无色,无受、想、行、识;无眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意;无色、声、香、味、触、法;无眼界,乃至无意识界,无无明,亦无无明尽,乃至无老死,亦无老死尽。无苦、集、灭、道,无智亦无得。 以无所得故,菩提萨埵,依般若波罗蜜多故,心无罣碍;无罣碍故,无有恐怖,远离颠倒梦想,究竟涅槃。三世诸佛,依般若波罗蜜多故,得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。 故知般若波罗蜜多,是大神咒,是大明咒,是无上咒,是无等等咒;能除一切苦,真实不虚。故说般若波罗蜜多咒,即说咒曰:   揭谛揭谛!  波罗揭谛! 波罗僧揭谛! 菩提萨婆诃!

Om Mani Padme Hum

The video below is about the origin of Six Syllables mantra , Om Mani Padme Hum. The Six Words Great Enlightening Dharani is considered as the essential heart dharani of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (Kuan Yin Pusa) and the root of all mantras. This video is based on the Mahayana Sublime Treasure King Sutra. Buddha said that reciting Om Mani Padme Hum, its merits and benefits are limitless and boundless. For example reciting the mantra can illuminate all wisdom and achieve perfect Bodhi and many more.

For me after reciting Om Mani Padme Hum, I don't crave for meat and prefer vegetarian

food. This mantra helps me to concentrate during meditation. At least I focus on reciting Om Mani Padme Hum instead of wandering thoughts; thinking about work or other things. Perhaps I have affinity with Kuan Yin Bodhisattva, every time I need help, I'll recite Kuan Yin Pusa and somehow I feel things get better.
