Hello,
This is Paramabandhi.
Welcome to Day 15,
The Padmasambhava Mantra.
Padmasambhava is associated with taking Buddhism to Tibet.
The legend tells us that when people first tried to introduce Buddhism in Tibet,
There was opposition from the local spirits and demons.
Finally,
After all attempts had failed,
Help was sought from the great guru and spiritual master,
Padmasambhava,
Who lived beyond the mountains of Tibet.
Padmasambhava had spent many years meditating and practicing the Dharma in cremation grounds,
Working with and transforming the most difficult forces of the psyche.
On entering Tibet,
Padmasambhava met with the fierce local spirits.
Although they tried to attack him,
Each one in turn that he met,
He subdued.
He did not destroy the demons,
But transformed them,
So that they came to support and be protectors of the Dharma.
Today's mantra is chanted by the songsters.
When we chant the Padmasambhava Mantra,
We can think of our own demons,
The difficult and often painful forces within us,
Being transformed.
We can imagine asking Padmasambhava to help us with our struggles,
Freeing us up and transforming our energies.
Begin by settling into a comfortable posture,
Bringing your attention onto your breath,
Allowing your hands to be at rest,
Or,
If you wish,
Bringing your palms together at your heart,
As if you were offering a lotus foot,
A symbol for the mind that has the potential to find awakening.
You could either listen to the mantra or join in with the chanting.
