Transcript

Hello,

This is Paramabandhu.

Welcome to day three of the Shakyamuni mantra.

Shakyamuni is the name of the historical Buddha Gotama who lived in northern India two and a half thousand years ago.

He was a human being like us who through his own efforts gained a state of complete freedom called awakening or enlightenment.

He came to understand the true nature of the mind,

How we cause ourselves suffering and the wisdom that can set us free.

After gaining enlightenment with a heart full of compassion,

He spent the remaining 45 years of his life showing many other people the way to freedom.

Today's mantra is chanted by the songsters.

When we chant the Shakyamuni mantra,

We can bring to mind his wisdom and compassion.

We can reflect that just as he found freedom,

So can we.

Begin by settling into a comfortable posture,

Bringing your attention onto your breath,

Allowing your hands to be addressed or if you wish,

Bringing your palms together at your heart as if you were offering a lotus bud,

A symbol for the mind that has the potential to find awakening.

You could either listen to the mantra or join in with the chanting.
