Cresci lendo a Bíblia Sagrada e admirando a milagrosa vida de Jesus Cristo. Agradeço à Seicho-no-Ie e a Masaharu Taniguchi por também conhecer os maravilhosos ensinamentos budistas. Sinto-me privilegiado em entender partes da Bíblia que não compreendia, bem como conhecer a maravilhosa vida de Sakiamuni, o Budha. Oh, como sou grato e feliz!!! Om Mani Peme Hum, Amém!
I like this Mantra Song "OM Mani Padme Hum"...Eventhough I am Rome Catholic believer of Jesus Christ. Please just listen to this beautifull Mantra Song "OM Mani Padme Hum"...Om Shanti...Calling for God's love coming inside to our deepest hearth dan asking God for Sin's purification to be clean up...
The day we recognize and realize what we are, thats the day we will learn that theres no reason or motive to hate or kill each other. That day Mother Nature will be happy and proud of the burden she bears, that beautiful process called life.
Okay, so I sat and tried to fold my legs into lotus position. But my hip popped out of its socket! Damn! It hurt like HELL! So I began moaning and groaning, but the other meditators around me thought I was chanting my mantra so they ignored me. Since I was already folded into the lotus position, I farted this rotten eggs scented bomb that wafted around the room. NOW they began paying attention to me. So then I just shit my pants, hoping that they'd call an ambulance...
maybe he said there is no path all so maybe no one or no thing to tolerate. maybe then only thing left is love . I don't want to tolerate others i want to annihilate egos with the light of love.
The mantra 'Om Mani Padme Hum' is a beautiful reminder that we worship the Jewel in the Heart of the Lotus. The Ultimate Truth that embraces and unifies us in Peace. TY4THIS!
@sachatunchi Wrong. It is the inevitable outcome of all religions. All that is true is what you experience in complete silence. It used to be that truth was every action we took, but now the world dies because the animals are using emotions to govern their thoughts and thus their beliefs and life choices. The fear of death is the biggest destroyer on earth, and there is nothing to fear if there is no judging god.
Thank you for sharing! May Peace and Compasion reach all people. May all souls recognize that The All is within. Thanks to all those who have come to show us the way.
Thank you .. the gentle evening that gave me ... with Om Mani Padme Hum, warming my heart with the figure of enlightened Masters .... With the sweet eyes of Santa Tereza de Lizieux. Ramana ... and all others who protect us in our path ... this planet! Om Shanti! Peace in your soul Ananda !!
I love the picture of Jesus in a Buddha type pose. For a long time after studding Jesus' words I have seen him more and more as a kind of Buddhist. You have a lovely voice.. :)
I like this video a lot! Beautiful images, the human examples of the way.... could have done with a few Buddhist holy men and women though, as om mani padma hung is a Buddhist chant, as is om tara tu tara tura svaha....
om shanti om we need more people like you to make this world peace now human kind is going to wrong direction where there is suffering only people need to understand the humanity is more important than anything else
praise GOD KRISHNA JESUS AUM SHANTI OM JAI JAI HARI BOL PRAISE THE PRECIOUS FEET THAT Bring good tidings of great joy to all creatures great and small.....LOVE PEACE GRACE FORGIVENESS>>>>>>thank you much we are all so blessed amen peace be unto your souls
i dedicate this beautiful song of peace,to my fiance jonathan which would be his 29th birthday today, i miss you & love you so very much jon, that i donot have the words, i know you are now at peace
Why not just have Buddhist pitures with buddhist Chants..Maybe, our Christian friends may be unhappy..For ie. do you show Buddha when saying the Our Father??
When we see the truth beyond the illusion, we see that all things blend into oneness. For this reason, my humble opinion is that this is a wonderful treatment of and tribute to some of the great Saints, Masters, and Boddhisatvas.
Thank You JaMaJames! I love chanting & kirtan, and the added visuals are wonderful! Was amazed to see Padre Pio (recd 1st communion from him in Italy) & Mother Cabrini (my grammer school nuns!) Brought back the positive memories of my early Catholic upbringing!
My major belief now is "The Truth is ONE, The Paths are Many!" and your video exemplifies that concept very well. Thank you again for a very uplifting few moments. Namaste. Chanting Connie
Thank you Jai Ma for another inspirational and beautiful video! I wear a bracelet with this prayer and I found the imagery and music to be quite soothing! I LOVE the pictures! (Jesus and his wife Mary Magdelene and the one with Jesus and Buddha especially! Blessings to you! Namaste!
