Hello everyone so at the end of the chakra series that i did i was meant to give you a mantra,
a very powerful mantra sorry that i didn't give it sooner life gets in the way my cat distracts me
and all sorts of things so yes here it is i'm going to give it to you now you probably saw it on
one of the resources that i left towards the end of the series but yes here it is and it is called
the prajna paramita or also the heart sutra and this is one of many of the teachings that the
buddha left but this one you could say is when he uh revealed perhaps what is considered by many as
the most powerful mantra and it derives from this teaching of the heart sutra or the heart of
wisdom sutra you could say so this is called the prajna paramita so prajna means consciousness or
wisdom, wisdom in the sense of intuitive wisdom it translates you know to many different things
but that's the general idea this direct wisdom and consciousness of this wisdom and parameter
means perfection or that which has arrived at the other shore so prajna paramita wisdom
which is perfect or consciousness which has arrived at the other shore arrived at that
other place that we are really intuitively trying to reach so this is this intuitive wisdom
that perfectly reaches that other side that other side that is impossible to describe
the more we talk about it the more we are not pointing towards it the more we are
not understanding it because it cannot be understood by the intellect hence why
we have meditation right because we want to go beyond the intellect and so in order to do that
there is a mantra that has come from this teaching of the prajnaparamita the heart
sutra and the the mantra is
now sounds like a bit of a mouthful but it's actually quite simple to remember and it's a
really uh really beautiful mantra it is really you know one of my personal uh favorite mantras
especially because of the meaning of it and what it really entails and what it points to towards
the ultimate nature of our consciousness and the ultimate reality of our reality
and our experience and that which we can reach in our direct experience so it is pointing towards
the perfect knowledge and experience of this other shore and this other sure which you
may start to intuit as i'm describing it is about this void this illuminating reality this sunyata
the emptiness the nothingness the absolute the i in soft and it is through this experience of these
states is where we experience samadhi this total bliss this ecstasy the experience
that is without our ego right a lot of the time we perhaps think that we are not in ego
etc but really truly the experience of not having an ego is not about thinking that we don't have
an ego it is about the direct experience of this great reality the ultimate reality and we start to
experience that great reality in varying degrees and we can very much so experience it quite deeply
through meditation and particularly with this powerful mantra the gate geta paragate parasamgate
bodhi swaha and it is through this experience of samadhi and going to this ultimate reality
this great reality beyond the reality of our terrestrial life
beyond the reality of our dream realities and beyond the reality of our self and what we think
of ourself and the whole world it is to go beyond all of that and so it's really great because
this mantra and saying this mantra is akin to telling ourselves stop stop stop just carry
on just carry on just carry on keep going keep going keep going and that's what we need because
the thinking mind the intellect is always thinking thinking thinking doubting doubting doubting
always in confusion always speculating what was this thought i had what was this emotion i had
what do i think about the world these days what do i think of gene on astral doorway uh what are all
what about these buddhist theories these christian theories what about science and everything right
there is such a mess and such noise in our mind in our consciousness that it just
completely stops us from getting into any kind of profound meditative state and so this mantra is
essentially telling us go go go go beyond all of that go beyond your thinking go beyond your
dreaming go beyond the many sensations of the body go beyond the many sensations in our perception
keep going and stay in that you know our mind is like a muddy glass of water and we keep
shaking it and shaking it right and we can't see past that muddy glass of water
if we have so much agitation in the mind if we have so many beliefs so many theories so many
doubts and few confusions and thinking and so we want to keep going keep going keep going right
in our meditation we want to have that force that vigor and so this is what the mantra means
to stay still stay still be patient wait for the mud to settle at the bottom of the glass
so that you can see through it and you can see through the veil of illusion through the veil
of the ego and so that you can let your awareness let your consciousness arrive at that other shore
that's why it's called the prajnaparamita to have that perfect the wisdom that knowledge to
arrive at that other shore and to have this sort of simultaneous knowledge of this is me my body
my whole experience right my ego and then to also go beyond that and experience that which is the
great reality that which is called ain soph or you know call it god if you like this is about
entering into that doorway through which truth can be experienced not christian truth not
buddhist truth this is a buddhist mantra right but not hindu truth not my truth not your truth
universal truth pure untainted reality completely free from the stains and the colorations
of the ego and humanity just to go beyond all of that have that power that force
to forget all of this and submerge ourselves in the cosmic intelligence of
everything right and where does everything come from it comes from
nothing so this is the experience of that nothing that void but that illuminating void
we think a void is black but where does everything or where does light
come from it comes from the void it comes from darkness right so there are many
descriptions or interpretations of this mantra but i think the dalai lama gives one of the best
uh quick kind of descriptions about this so i'll put this on the screen and he says
in sanskrit tadyatha literally means it is thus and prepares the way for what follows gotta
means go go paragate means go beyond parasam gate means go totally beyond and bodhi swahar can be
read as be rooted in the ground of enlightenment thus the entire mantra itself can be translated as
go go go beyond go totally beyond be rooted in the ground of enlightenment we can interpret
this mantra metaphorically to read go to the other shore which is to say abandon this shore
of samsara an enlightened existence which has been our home since beginning of time and cross
to the other shore of final nirvana and complete liberation so this mantra is intended to be
like a key for unlocking our perception or our experience and realization of fundamental
reality so samayal one viol also says about this mantra the one who wants to experience the truth
must undoubtedly relax the body empty the mind and sing the mantra of the prajna parameter thus
one day you will achieve the experience of that which is not of time of that which is the truth
and the one who experiences the truth begins to work really truly with strength
on oneself the reason why you know he's saying that when we experience that truth that reality
there's almost no going back right because we have experienced the truth
for ourself and when we experience that and we open our heart to that
there's no other theorizing there's no other thinking hmm you know is was my theory correct or
maybe this life choice is bad or maybe i'm in the the wrong religion it's something that is
concrete within you that nobody no matter how clever their intellectual theorizing may be or
how clever their arguments may be they can't take that reality that truth of that reality of that
experience away from you because you experienced it and you experienced going to that other shore
going to that other side that we are so craving and longing for but the problem is you know
we're so comfortable in our own little world and bubble right so yes so i'm going to make another
video for this just the mantra for one hour and in the description you'll also be able to
read the teaching from the buddha and you know when he gave this because you know he gives
the mantra but he also he gives it in reply to a question that someone asked him and he
explains uh before and after about that mantra and you can meditate on his teaching on this
wisdom of the heart sutra now the video i'm going to do i'm going to chant it the way i
chant it the way i chant it is not the correct way there is no correct way to chant it okay
search the mantra on youtube or google and you will find many ways different ways to to chant it
you will also find people with instruments singing it as well and i had a few uh questions about this
recently you know is it okay to to chant mantras when i'm in nature walking or just singing them
in my head or whatever yes it's okay um you can do that and it's certainly a good way to perhaps you
know keep you grounded while you are living your daily life and it can certainly probably does have
an effect i would say to a limiting degree if you would like to embrace that mantra fully to
not a limiting degree to an unlimited degree then uh you know it's definitely best to you know make
some formal time for uh formal practice and dedicate your full awareness to the mantra
and to the experience of deep meditation so yes as a little reminder of course remember
as a general rule for meditation number one relaxation number two pranayama any kind of
breathing practice and then three meditation and that meditation can uh you know uh be
accompanied by a mantra in this case uh this mantra okay so yes i really hope you enjoy it
it's a beautiful beautiful profound mantra one of the most uh profound mantras really
and you know it is one of or or if not you know the ultimate goal or the end goal of
spirituality and awakening of gnosis of of really any
religion the end goal is to realize and be in union with the great reality the highest the
purest reality now it's almost like a like a sin to to state that because it's so easy to say that
and you say gene oh this is the end goal i can be uh i can just like do this mantra and be uh
combined with with god right but um truly we when we ask that question we we
really don't realize the greatness of the past and and how tremendous and how long it it can take
so yes but really this mantra really does kind of synthesize or helps us to understand the kind of
the force or the push towards this great reality okay so um yes i'll leave it there if you have any
questions just ask below as usual and i will uh you know try to get back to most of your questions
yes we have a guided meditation in our patreon group if you're interested in joining
the link is on the screen and yes we have a q a there and everything so
um yes i will leave you with a couple of quotes for this uh
mantra and then you'll i'll put on the screen the the mantra the way i do it um you may follow along
with how i do it and and mantralize that with me in that way or you can just simply
pause that video you know just stop that video and uh chant it in the way that you feel the
way that it comes to you as long as we are just chanting the correct words and we are going into
you know deep meditation uh it's fine any way that you feel you need to do it uh you just do
it that way you may find other videos on youtube as well but the way i chant it is the way i chant
it and yes and here is a couple of quotes on the screen thank you everyone and see you next time
