Sanskrit Word Mandala for sharing
-
it is indeed good to see the promotion of Buddhist material .but there is a good reason to explain the mandala picture ,because Buddhism is an education ,not a blind faith
this featured here is the Great Compassion Mantra in Siddam script , the original sanskrit text of Great Compassion Mantra
The vast wordings will tend to scare beginner off .
In Simplicity , in accordance to Tientai Buddhism Esoteric teaching
Just Visualise the Centre word which is pronounced as Hrih(Har Ree)
The seed word of Avalokiteshvara
The Seed word of Amitabha is Also Hrih for your info
then the seed word of Da shi zhi is Dsar
Visualise the word on your forehead shine onto your whole body
and remember the virtue and the great compassion of Avalokiteshvara
every Buddha and Bodhisattva have a seed word
in accordance to huayen and tientai teaching
seed word is important in the practise of Esoteric Buddhism
Print it and distribute to other , remember in mind the Power of Avalokiteshvara is inconceivable in this picture
My input based on past patriach writings
With Sincerity

this is not important
like in the Heart Sutra
although the mantra of the heart sutra
of
Gate Gate Paragate Para Sam Gate Bodhi Svaha
mean "Away Away , all sentient beings to the other shores of Buddhahood"
a mantra is a the summary of the teachings of the Sutra .
Just recite with a sincere heart can liao
