Om Vajrapani Hum

• Pronunciation:

  Om Vuhj-ruh-puh-nee Hoom

• Deity:

  Vajrapani

• Usage:

  Transformation, cutting through the darkness of delusion

• Meaning:

  Vajrapani is a Bodhisattva who represents the energy of the enlightened mind, and his mantra also symbolizes that quality. Vajrapani is pictured dancing wildly within a halo of flames, which represent transformation. He holds a vajra (thunderbolt) in his right hand, which emphasizes the power to cut through the darkness of delusion. Vajrapani looks wrathful, but as a representation of the enlightened mind, he's completely free from hatred.
  
  Vajrapani's mantra is simply his name, which means "wielder of the thunderbolt", framed between the mystical syllables Om and Hum. This mantra helps us to gain access to the irrepressible energy that Vajrapani symbolizes.

  Mental clarity

• Meaning:

  Tibetan Buddhist. The chant is a thought form producing mental clarity. Vajrasattva's name in Tibetan is Dorge Sempa. It means "diamond being". He represents the innate purity of the mind.
  
  The most distinctive symbols associated with Vajrasattva are his bell and vijra (or thunderbolt). The bell represents wisdom, and the vajra represents the Bodhisattva's upaya, or his skill in liberating beings by means of compassion.
  
  Vajrasattva is generally white in color, representing his purity. He is eternally young, existing outside of time and space. Chanting this mantra stimulates, through its resonance, the attributes of clarity and purification of mind and emotions to the practitioner.
  
  Surround yourself with white light, above and below. Negative thoughts are abolished. They cannot exist in this resonant environment.

Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum

• Deity:

  Padmasambhava

• Usage:

  Transform difficulties into opportunities for growth and learning

• Meaning:

  Padmasambhava, known as Guru Rinpoche, is the powerful Lotus Buddha who dispels all obstacles and worldly problems. Padmasambhava was a teacher who converted the people of Tibet to Buddhism. He was a scholar, meditator, and thought to be a magician too. Guru Rinpoche is excellent for those who find it hard to concentrate. Reciting his mantra transforms difficulties into opportunities for growth and learning.
  
  Om: Often regarded as being the primeval sound, and in fact the sound-symbol of reality itself. It represents the universal principle of enlightenment.
  
  Ah: Traditionally said to be connected with speech in Sanskrit, "ah" is a verb meaning "to express, signify, or to call by name". Here it suggests evoking, or calling forth, the manifestation of enlightenment.
  
  Hum: Represents the manifestation of enlightenment in the individual human being. Often these syllables are associated with body, speech, and mind respectively.
  
  Vajra: Means thunderbolt, and represents the energy of the enlightened mind. It can also mean diamond. The implication is that the diamond/thunderbolt can cut through anything. The vajra also stands for compassion. In esoteric Buddhism compassion is active, and therefore aligned with this masculine symbol.
  
  Guru: Means a teacher. Padmasambhava is highly regarded in Tibetan Buddhism as a great teacher and is often referred to as a Buddha.
  
  Padma: Means lotus, referring to the purity of the enlightened mind. The lotus flower, although growing in muddy water, is completely stainless. The lotus represents wisdom. The receptive nature of the flower gives it a "feminine" status in esoteric Buddhism, and the lotus is aligned with the "feminine" quality of wisdom.
  
  Siddhi: One who has accomplishment or supernatural powers. Wisdom and great teachings.

Om Ah Hum

• Deity:

  Buddha

• Usage:

  Healing, balance, blessing, connect mind and heart

• Meaning:

  This is a Tibetan Buddhist Chant. The "Om Ah Hum", the Mantra of Blessing, frequently precedes the recitation of other mantras. The sounds Om, Ah, and Hum are individual Sanskrit seed syllables. It implies a trinity and union of three things. In Buddhism the trinity is that of body (kaya), sound or speech (vak), and Spirit or Mind (citta). The perfect state of being of each of these three bodies is symbolized by the three words of Om Ah Hum. The Body is not only the physical body of man but also the entire material dimension of the individual. The Sound is the life energy of the body, known as prana. This mantra with hand movements helps connect our heart and mind with spirit.
  
  Notes: Visualize golden light
  
  Often combined with Anjali mudra (Namaste)

Om A Ra Pa Ca Na Dhih

• Deity:

  Manjushri

• Usage:

  Wisdom

• Meaning:

  The individual syllables A RA PA CA and NA have no translatable meaning. They are syllabary and are believed to have symbolic connections with different spiritual qualities.
  
  From the "Large Sutra of Perfect Wisdom" (adapted from Conze):
  
  A - Leads to the insight that the essence of all things is unproduced.
  RA - Leads to the insight that all things are pure and free of defilements.
  PA - Leads to the insight that all dharmas have been "expounded in the ultimate sense."
  CA - Leads to the insight that the arising and ceasing of things cannot be apprehended because in reality there is no arising of ceasing.
  NA - Leads to the insight that although the names for things change the nature of things behind their names cannot be gained or lost.
  DIHI - This is often defined as “prayer” or “understanding” or “reflection.”
  
  These are all important concepts in the Perfection of Wisdom.
