GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUNG

GURU RINPOCHE (Vajra Guru) Mantra

Om Ah Hung Vajra Guru Pema Siddhi Hung

(actually pronounced) Om Ah Hung Benza Guru Pema Siddi Hung

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (former head of the Nyingma Lineage, deceased) explains:

"It is said that the twelve syllables Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum carry the entire blessing

of the twelve types of teaching taught by Buddha, which are the essence of His Eightyfour Thousand Dharmas.

Therefore to recite the Vajra guru mantra once is the equivalent to the blessing of reciting.....or practicing the

whole teaching of the Buddha.

The wisdom mind of Padmasambhava is manifested in the form of the mantra; these twelve syllables are

actually the emanation of His wisdom mind, and they are endowed with His entire blessing. The vajra guru

mantra is Padmasambhava in the form of sound. So when you invoke Him with the recitation of the twelve

syllables, the blessing and merit you obtain is tremendous. In these difficult times, just as there is no Buddha

or refuge we can call upon who is more powerful than Padmasambhava,

so there is no mantra that is more fitting than the Vajra Guru Mantra."

100-Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva

Nam Chö Version

Om Benza Sato Samaya, Manu Palaya

Benza Sato Tei No Pa, Tisthira Dridho Me Bawa

Suto Khayo Mei Ba Wa, Anu Rakto Me Ba Wa, Su Po Khayo Mei Ba Wa

Sar Wa Siddhi Mei Pra Yatsa, Sarwa Karma Sutsa Me,

Tsi Tam Shri Yam Kuru Hung, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ho Bagawan

Sarwa Tathagata Hri Daya, Benza Ma Mei Muntsa

Benzi Bhawa Maha Samaya Sato Ah

As with any mantra there are many levels to the meaning of the 100 Syllable Mantra.

As a result, one should not become fixated upon any one translation of the mantra. For example,

each of the syllables in the 100-Syllable Mantra also represents the One Hundred Peaceful

and Wrathful Deities resident in one's own body and encountered in the Bardo State after death.

By practicing with an open mind, the deeper levels of the mantra will be revealed.

The approximate meaning of the mantra: You, Vajrasattva, have generated the holy mind

(bodhicitta) according to your pledge (samaya). Your holy mind is enriched with the simultaneous holy

actions of releasing transmigratory beings from samsara (the circling, suffering aggregates). Whatever

happens in my life-happiness or suffering, good or bad-with a pleased, holy mind, never give up but

please guide me. Please stabilize all happiness, including the happiness of the upper realms, actualize

all actions and sublime and common realizations, and please make the glory of the five wisdoms abide in my heart.
