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...

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.
"In Tibet the Buddhist tradition is very old and everyone admits that mantras recitation has beneficial effects. Instead in the West it is not seen that these words can act on the mind.
The power of the words Words are sounds with a very large power. In everyday life, words can cause joy or anger, or completely change a person's mood. It is not difficult to verify that this power is exercised in numerous areas. The function of mantras Mantras have the power to purify the minds of faults and veils and make their true nature evident. Its function is therefore very beneficial. Take for example the Chenrezig mantra, the mantra of six syllables OM MANI PADME HUNG. Each of the syllables is attributed powers such as eliminating the six basic disturbing emotions (desire-air, hate-aversion, mental opacity, greed, jealousy and pride). The mantras, intraduible The mantras have been stated by the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas with the help of words and sounds of the Sanskrit. As sound plays a very important role in mantras, Tibetans never translated them into their language, but transcribed them thanks to a transliteration system that allows you to preserve the Sanskrit sound using the Tibetan alphabet. Thus they preserved the spiritual power inherent in the loudness of the Sanskrit and the original mantra enunciation. Easy and beneficial Even if we are physically occupied by a job or other activities, or do not have time to meditate, we have the possibility of using our word to recite from time to time the mantra OM MANI PADME HUNG, so we will do something of great value and its effects will be very deep, for ourselves and for others."
