Slower version - OM VAJRASATTVA VOWS - 100 syllable mantra

[ParalegalDesignation]

Cool I will be watching this video quite a few times

[5KnuckleShuffle]

Awesome! Excellent job. Thank you! METTA!

[DrColette]

Can you tell me if this is good also for negative karma (health issues).

thank you.

[destinationom]

@DrColette: Negative karma (yes). This comes from Vajrayana meaning the Lightning Bolt Path. For health issues you may consider doing the Medicine Buddha mantra. The Vajrasattva Vows is called the Purification Mantra so you can see the implications in reciting this text.

[DrColette]

@destinationom Can you also please tell me if this is the Purification Mantra to do. I'm really new at learning this. If not, please point me in the right direction. Thanks again.

[destinationom]

@DrColette : Yes, The Vajrasattva Vows are called the Purification Mantra. There is another video that we've done that has just the chanting portion and not the text.

Super HELPFUL! Thank you very much!

I am planing on an upcoming retreat and want to practice this mantra as much before hand as possible so as not to wast unneeded time there trying to get it just right. Any advice for someone about to begin Ngondro & Vajrasattva practices? I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.\



[destinationom]

@BabaBoczar: Surrender is most key. The way to do this is simply focus on the text and recite with intention. While in the retreat pay attention to the "little things" that your instructors says. This practice is very beautiful and much knowledge can be gleaned through the meditative experience so this surrender is most important. Let whatever happens happen and don't be afraid or elated by the outcome - simply experience it and let it go as this practice is ever growing and illuminating. Om.

Raferboy con't - The ending as you suggest is an exclamation used at the end of many Tibetan chants - a way of announcing the recitation is complete and a way to add power to its completion but this is used only in certain schools of Tibet.

[destinationom]

Raferboy- depending on the lineage the recitation has minor alterations. This recitation form comes from the nyingma lineage taught to me in the school of gangteng tulku rinpoche - a line of teachers dating back to Pema Linga of Bhutan.

You will see that the recitation varies where Vajrasattva becomes Benzar.

[raferboy]

Brother, may be I´m wrong but I think the mantra it´s incomplete. The last three syllabe are AH, HUM, PAT.

[liuyuki]

Om vajra sato samaya manupalaya vajra sato tenopa tikhra drido mebawa suto khayo mebawa supo khaya mebawa anurakto mebawa sarwa siddhi meprayetsa sarwa karma sutsame tsitam sheryam kuru hung ha ha ha ho bagawan sarwa tathagata vajra mame muentsa benzri ba wa maha samaya sato ah hung phet (Om Benza Sato Hung)

Thank you so much!!!! _/|\_ 

[AnTianLeMing]

I watched your other video of Vajrasattva recitations in chant form, and now this slower version. This is very helpful for learning pronunciation. Thank you!

[katmoontheartist]

thank you. I have been working with this practice for a while trying to pronounce it correctly.thanks again.

[gofigu]

Thank you for this. Have been trying to learn and you've really helped!

[haroldsmoketoomuch]

I think this video is great and thanks very much for posting it. My problem is that every time I count the syllables, I get 102. I have counted this heaps of times, but consistently get a couple of extra ring ins. Can you explain this?

[AmmachiDevotee]

In Buddhism, the "numbers" of things like this are not always exact - much like when one is asked to chant 10,000 mantras... it turns out to be 10,080 b/c malas have 108 beads rather than 100. So any "extras" are not really counted.

[wendy1037]

Thank you so much! This really helped. I was able to get most of it, and you really broke it down! May All Be Auspicious

[marcelalaferrere]

Thank you so much! Big help for many of us.

[00ARYA00]

Thanks for sharing! I understand it better now.

[Gyatso5]

Thank you this helps me alot

[3xlucas]

Please! Could you say to us, the name of the book?

Tanks!

[destinationom]

no, this was a book given to me during Ngondro and I referenced this in response to Ananda Shake's request for a slower version but I can't tell you where the book is from - sorry.

[reconnecting1]

lucas, look up "short daily refuge prayers"

I bought mine at the Kagyu Samye Dzong Buddhist Centre in London. The first line says Om benza satta samaya, but I believe this is a Tibetan as opposed to sanskrit way of saying but all else is the same. This little book was translated by Ken Holmes who is connected to Samye Ling Monastery. I hope this helps.

[rambeafer]

Excellent :) I love it ... excellent vibrations :) thanks a lot Namasté Ramona

[heloisasan]

It was great, very helpful. Thank you so much!

Tashi Delek!

[tifftotheany]

Thank you! Very appreciated

[Eaglesong]

Many thanks! =)

[librogeek]

Wonderful! Thank you so much. :-)

[JohnFP59]

Certainly makes it easier to understand the pronunciation of the mantra than CDs and relying on written "aids"—greatly appreciated.

[destinationom]

you are welcome. I hope it helps.

[AnandaShake]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!
