Description
An introduction to Buddhist mantras and mudras, used by meditators to open doors within and experience the matchless bliss of spiritualawakening. The text explains preparations such as purifying the space and ground, making dedications and generating motivation, then goes on to present the mantras themselves - the six-syllable OM MANI PADME HUM mantra; mantras for purifying negative karma; mantras for healing; mantras for longevity, and so forth. Finally, the author explains the use of special mantras - such as "White Light" meditation, how to chant mantras, hanging prayer flags and using prayer wheels.
