01 The Chenrezig Mantra

1.The Chenrezig Mantra (Avalokiteshvara):
OM MANI PADME HUNG
The Chenrezig Mantra is one of the most meaningful and powerful mantras as it is said that the six syllables purify the six realms of existence of all forms of suffering.
OM. Removes pride, purifies suffering in the god realm and frees one from rebirth in it.
MA. Removes jealousy, purifies suffering in the demigod realm and frees one from rebirth in it.
NI. Removes desire and attachment, purifies suffering in the human realm and frees one from rebirth in it.
PE. Removes ignorance and prejudice, purifies suffering in the animal realm and frees one from rebirth in it.
ME. Removes poverty, purifies suffering in the hungry ghost realm and frees one from rebirth in it.
HUNG. Removes hate and aggression, purifies suffering in the hell realms and frees one from rebirth in it.
Chanting the Chenrezig Mantra, the Mantra of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, is an antidote to the natural tendency that our mind has towards feeding and holding on to anger. Reciting this six syllable Mantra will cause compassion to gradually and naturally arise in one’s mind and as a result will reduce one’s suffering and that of all beings. Through the power of this great compassion one will awaken to his or her highest potential, perfect enlightenment, and one will be reborn in the pure land of immeasurable joy, Dewachen.
