hI have wanted to record the mantra of Sangye Menla, the Medicine Buddha, for a long time, and today is perfect because according to the Tibetan calendar tomorrow is the day of the Medicine Buddha and Tara. Through the recitation of this mantra and the practice of the meditation of Sangye Menla, may all beings be freed from physical and mental illnesses (the root of physical illnesses) and from the fundamental root of all suffering: ignorance.
This is the healing mantra of Sangye Menla, medicine Buddha: Tayata om bekhadze bekhadze maha bekhadze radza samungate soha : 👉 https://music.dusumsangtong.com/medicine_Buddha_Menla_mantra You can recite the mantra for a while visualizing that healing rays of light from the Menla Buddha reach the people you know who are sick or suffering from pain or difficulties and they are free from all suffering. You can also meditate on the Medicine Buddha when you are sick and visualize that the rays of light from the Buddha cleanse and free the affected areas of your body or any illness that you or the beings you visualize have.

Tibetan prayer flags, or prayer flags, are pieces of cloth in 5 different colours with mantras, symbols and sutras printed on them, and are used to promote good fortune, compassion and harmony.
They date back to the pre-Buddhist period of Tibet, during the existence of the animist Bön tradition, and they referred to the elements present in nature. When Buddhism came to Tibet through Padmasambhava, the different prayers and mantras were written down, as well as representations of the different Buddhist deities. A mantra is a prayer of several syllables and sounds that corresponds to a specific aspect of enlightenment. In addition to being recited, a mantra can be written down and will produce the same positive effect as if it were pronounced. Currently, the most commonly used are those that are hung horizontally and refer to Lung-Tha (the horse of the wind). They depict a horse, carrying on its back three flaming jewels that symbolize Buddha, Dharma and Shanga, all surrounded by mantras, sutras and prayers. Thus, it is said that when the wind shakes the flags, the horse Lung-Tha distributes its benefits and good fortune to all living beings. There are also vertical flags, called darchor, which are raised with the help of a pole. Its 5 colors represent the 5 elements of nature and at the same time the 5 families of Buddha (which personify the five wisdoms necessary to free ourselves from the five poisons that impede our spiritual progress). Their order and corresponding element is: • Blue – Space • White – Water • Red – Fire • Green – Wind / Air • Yellow – Earth They are found in the elevated parts of monasteries and stupas, on the summits or at the crossing points in the heights of the mountains of the Himalayas, or on the roofs and exterior windows of private houses. The important thing is that they are located in high places so that they do not touch the ground and in open spaces where the wind can shake them to spread the mantras and prayers. When they wear out or break over time, they remind us that life is perishable and everything is reborn, transmutes and evolves. And they have to be changed as a symbol of the beginning of a new life cycle. If old flags are removed, they must be burned as a symbol of respect. There are different auspicious dates throughout the year to renew the flags, but the main one is during the celebration of Losar, the Tibetan New Year (full moon of the month of February). - (Source: Himalayan Paradise, shop in Barcelona: https://himalayanparadise.es/es/blog/nuevas-entradas/banderas-oracion-tibetanas ) Siddharta Gautama was a human being who achieved enlightenment (or Awakening, or Buddhahood) through the practice of meditation with the aim of being able to help other beings free themselves from suffering by also reaching that awakened state of mind; from that time on he was known as Shakyamuni Buddha.
Its message of peace, omniscience, motivation and solidarity endures to this day, being the fourth month of the Tibetan lunar calendar, known as 'Saga Dawa' (in Tibetan) or 'Vesak' or 'Wesak' (in Sanskrit), very important in Buddhism: the birth, enlightenment and paranirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha is commemorated, and the result of all the actions we perform is considered to be greatly multiplied. That is why in this period the practice of Chenrezig is especially carried out and the mantra 'Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hung' is accumulated with the intention of accumulating a large amount of virtue for the benefit of all beings. If you want to join in reciting mantras in the great accumulation of Chenrezig Om Mani Padme Hung mantras during these days of Saga Dawa at the Dag Shang Kagyu Buddhist center (Panillo, Spain), this is the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfIKxphlxb3BUhY6T_PU71YrqvY_2Ydve934ZlIjgd3bbqWcA/viewform As the lamas always remember, it is a short mantra, very easy to remember, only 6 syllables, but very powerful, and very beneficial: Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hung Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hung Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hung...

I am happy to announce that I am preparing new music - offerings with the Green Tara mantra Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha in the recording studio at home... very well accompanied, as you can see.
I was thinking about how grateful I feel to have this precious opportunity to express myself through music, and also thanks to the encouragement that Lama Drubgyu always gave me to start recording and publishing music with the mantras and prayers, and to free myself from fears and limitations. when it comes to adding music to them and singing them in different ways. And of course also thanks to Lama Phuntsok, Lama Kelsang, Lama Orgyen, Sonam-la and all the other teachers and companions on the path. It was just a joke between Lama Phuntsok and Lama Drubgyu about what my name was (Joan Antón, Jantón, San Tóng) that Lama Drubgyu told me to use this name for the project, and so I did (Sangtong).

In Tibetan Buddhism, the lama (from the Tibetan བླ་མ་, teacher or spiritual guide) is an "authority on doctrine," a spiritual teacher, someone capable of showing others the unequivocal path to liberation and enlightenment.
"Lama" is a title for a teacher of the Dharma in Tibetan Buddhism. The Tibetan word "Lama" means "highest principle", and less literally "highest mother" or "highest parent" to show close relationship between teacher and student. “Khyenno” means “please think of me”. With this, we remember the lama again and again, constantly keeping in mind the positive qualities of the lama and praying to him or her. This video is a precious gem to listen, reflect on and meditate: teachings by Kyabje Dorje Chang Kalu Rinpoche Karma Rangjung Khunkhyab 🙏 Get inspired by new age music with warm blessed healing sounds.

Sanskrit is considered not a human language, but a divine one. If we think about it, each language comes from the energy of each country (German is impregnated with German energy, Italian with Italian energy, etc). But Sanskrit came from this other energy, a divine, or enlightened energy. So when you recite the mantras, when you make the sounds of the mantra, for example "Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha", there is a blessing just in those sounds: the Sanskrit alphabet is a mantra.
When I put my fingers on the keyboard and chant a mantra or a prayer, I look for "something" in the form of music to surround the voice, but without knowing what "will come". I'm looking at it, I'm finding it as I go along, trying it out, playing, observing what happens, feelings, atmospheres, trying it out. Then maybe something else "comes" to my head and I add it. Actually, the composing process is never finished. Until I say: enough! I record it!
Before recording, I try to evoke the same mental scene: reproduce what occurred to me, to reflect it on the recording. But I can't reproduce it exactly anymore. It's gone... "Both women and men have the same spiritual potential and the same capacities for realization.
A long time ago, Tara was a woman who made the promise to attain Buddhahood to benefit beings infinitely. |
