"Om Mani Padme Hum" is one of the most important sacred texts, it is correlated with Buddha compassion and mercy. In the exact translation from Sanskrit Avavokiteshwara, it means "listening to the sounds of the world," it's not by chance that the Buddha swore to be distracted to the requests of all who appeals to him for support and help.
Features and meaning
The history of the mantric text "Om Mani Padme Hum" is associated with an ancient Buddhist legend. According to legend, the Great Ruler ever lived in the world. Unfortunately, he did not have children, so every day a man prayed to the luminaire and asked him to send his son. To take care of the celestial, he brought her lotus flowers every day, personally collected them on the lake. One day a miracle was accomplished - a huge flower appeared on the water surface and a young man of extraordinary beauty came out of it. The shine came from the young man, and that told the ruler about his divine origin.
A man took a young man to his house and began to raise himself as a native son. The child turned out to be very sensitive, he experienced a huge pain from suffering from living beings - that's why he was given the name of Avalokiteshwara, which is literally a "look performed by mercy". The young man prayed to the gods so that they relieved people from the burden and suffering. In response, the celestialists commanded him indifferently repeat the prayer of "Om Mani Padme Hum" about all living, they demanded to abandon Nirvana and cover the whole world with their love.
Avalokiteshwara agreed to this condition. For many years he worked good deeds or sent lost people to their true path . Unfortunately, the evil in the world did not get smaller, and then the young man fell into despair, thinking about the need to save himself. For the first time in his life, he refused to fulfill the promise, and in the same moment his head was split into many small fragments. These minor parts gathered the Amita Buddha and blinded the young man again, turning into a creature with hundreds of hands and ten heads, and so that the heads did not fall, on top of he watered his own. Having woke up, Avalokiteshwara uttered his mantra and thus freed all the living.
This is a legend of compassionate young man. His mercy was so great that even becoming completely liberated, he stayed in Sansara to help all living creatures on Earth until they find their way and would not get the release from the shackles of bad karma.
He was clean and innocent, because it is always depicted in white colors. The first pair of young men is folded in a praying gesture - thereby the figure seems to symbolize the appeal, addressed to the highest forces with the intention of riding people from pain and suffering. In two other hands, he holds a lotus flower, which in the Vedas personifies purity and mind, as well as rosary from crystal, symbolizing the wish of goods and wealth.
The words of the sixislock mantra will definitely relate to this legend:
- Ohms - symbolizes the sincerity of the mind and the purity of the words of the Buddha;
- Pearl Mania - reports to the highest forces about the desire of living on Earth to delivere consciousness from the shackles;
- Lotus Padme - symbolizes spiritual purity and absolute wisdom;
- The sound of Hum - means complete unity of knowledge and practice.
The sacred Vedic text was compiled on a sacred language for all Buddhists - Sanskrit, he assumes several versions of the interpretation of words. That is why "Om Mani Padme Hum" in the literal sense is not subject to accurate translation. Literally, the mantra can be translated as follows "about the pearl in the very center of the lotus."
