Shurangama Mantra 楞嚴咒 總心咒.wmv

The Shurangama Mantra is a dharani or long mantra of East Asian Mahayana and Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist origin that is popular in China, Japan, and Korea, although relatively unknown in modern Tibet, even though there are several Shurangama Mantra texts Sadhana, Shastra in the Tibetan Buddhist canon.

The Mantra was, according to the opening chapter of the Shurangama Sutra,[1] historically transmitted by the Buddha Shakyamuni to Manjushri Bodhisattva to protect Bhikshu Ananda before he had become an Arhat. It was again spoken in the Shurangama Sutra,[1] Volume 6) by Shakyamuni before an assembly of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, devas and others of the Eightfold Division of Dharmapalas.

Like the popular six-syllable mantra Om mani padme hum, and the Great Compassion Mantra (Nīlakantha dhāranī) it is a popular mantra synonymous the practice of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. The Shurangama Mantra also extensively references Buddhist deities (ishtadevata) such as Bodhisattvas Manjushri, Mahakala, Sitatapatra Vajrapani and the Five Dhyana Buddhas especially Medicine Buddha (Akshobhya or Vajradhara) in East Asia. It is often used for protection or purification for meditators and is considered to be part of Tantric Buddhism or Vajrayana or Shingon Buddhism in Japan.

In the Shurangama Sutra the Buddha Shakyamuni says of the Shurangama Mantra:

"Ananda, let any living being of any country in the world copy out this mantra in writing on materials native to his region, such as birch bark, pattra, plain paper, or white cotton cloth, and store it in a pouch containing incense. If that person wears the pouch on his body, or if he keeps a copy in his home, then you should know that even if he understands so little that he cannot recite it from memory, he will not be harmed by any poison during his entire life."

[Quansan52]

In the Shurangama Sutra, Gautama Buddha agreed with Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva that Quan Yin ( contemplation on the Inner Sound ) meditation is the best method to attain enlightenment and that he too practiced the same method. So the message is, we too can reach Nirvana, just need to be veg to purify the body and to search for a true master for guidance.
