2.The Medicine Buddha Mantra: Teyata Om Bekanze Bekanze Maha Bekanze Raza Samunggate Soha.
The meaning of the Medicine Buddha Mantra is: “I prostrate to the Medicine Buddha, the great physician, the king of physicians, radiating lapis lazuli light.” By reciting the Medicine Buddha Mantra one is able to emanate healing energy into all directions and reach out to all sentient beings. It also deepens the manifestation of the medicine Buddha’s healing presence within you. Reciting this mantra helps one to reach the state of non-dual awareness in which the practitioner is completely at one with the Medicine Buddha.

3.The Manjushri on a Snow Lion Mantra: Om Shri Di Mami Dipam Manjushiri Mum Shri, Praja Varda Ni Shri Di Soha.
The meaning of Manjushri’s Mantra: “Light of wisdom! Lead to the insight that all things are pure and free of defilements.” Manjushri’s mantra represents the quality of primordial wisdom, as Manjushri himself is a Bodhisattva who symbolizes wisdom. The sword that Manjushri holds in his right hand symbolizes his ability to cut through delusion. In his left hand, by his heart, Manjushri holds the stalk of a lotus flower. The book with the Perfection of Wisdom teaching (Prajnaparamita) is resting on its top. Thus the recitation of this mantra helps one to cut through one’s own delusions and consequently leads to the development of wisdom.
