Actually we do not need to understand the meaning of mantra. Mantra are sacred words, and therefore they are the only things said by Buddha that are not translated. All sutras are translated, but mantras are not translated.Originally posted by Isis:Despite, i don't really understand what it is chanting about..
the melody is very soothing and calming...
thank for the link

Originally posted by enci:You can chant as a way of contemplating/recollecting the teachings of Buddha, etc, but if you are chanting it as a form of meditative practise it is important not to dwell on the mental content.
from what i know ... mantras are not translated is becos mantras consists of too many meanings beyond words and description and thus not translated.
Just like the word "Namo" which has seldom been translated with too many meaning such as relying, taking refuge, to adore and honour etc etc ...
So the importance of reciting mantra is not with empty mind but to keep the core spirit n faith of the mantra recited. Suppose u r reciting the great compassion mantra, one should make compassion grow within yr heart and stretch that compassion to a larger and larger extent.
Mantras are not magical curse that contains any power, it is the people who recites it and living up the spirit that indeed is the true power.
Thus reciting with empty mind will result in empty result and meaing no point at all ...
Will the mantra be the magic that transform your mind or will u be the magic of the mantra that transforms yrself n others ?

Yes the Buddha understands all languages and even the language of devas and ghosts and animals. Whenever he speaks he makes it that all his audiences understands his way of speaking... I don't know how he does it but that is his powers.Originally posted by maggot:So here it comes...
Do Buddha understands whatever we are saying?
The current languages we are having?![]()
