Six-character mantra

Also known as the six-character Daming, that is, the six-character Ming mantra of Guanyin, which is recorded in historical books, was introduced into Tibetan areas during the period of Songzan Gambu. Legend has it that the six-character Daming is Guanyin Bodhisattva. Seeing that all sentient beings have suffered so much, she moved with compassion and shed six tears, which condensed into a spell. Buddhists, especially Tibetans, regardless of gender, age, will recite the six-character Daming.

This mantra appeared in the The Journey to the West of Wu Cheng'en as early as the Han nationality area. The Buddha used this spell to put it on the Five Elements Mountain to suppress the Monkey King, and then the Tang Priest took it according to Guanyin's purpose to rescue Sun Monkey. It is said that the six-character Daming is the fundamental mantra of the Buddhist Mi Lian Department. As long as you keep thinking repeatedly and never forget it, you will be able to complete your merits and get rid of them.

When you say this word, it means that you are in the Buddha's body, your mouth is in the Buddha's mouth, and your heart is in the Buddha's heart, so that you can achieve it; Well, Sanskrit means Ruyibao, which means that Bao is the heart of the department. It is said that this treasure comes from the thought of the Dragon King. If you get this treasure, you can get into the sea and go up the mountain, so it is also called jubao.

Bami, which means lotus in Sanskrit, means lotus heart, pure as lotus. It means that King Kong wishes to achieve, which means that you must rely on the power of Buddha to get enlightenment, achieve everything, achieve all beings, and finally achieve the desire to become a Buddha.
