Avalokiteśvara
(known as Chenrezig in Tibetan) is an important deity in Tibetan
Buddhism, and is regarded as a Buddha. The Dalai Lama is considered by
the Gelugpa sect and many other Tibetan Buddhists to be the primary
earthly manifestation of Chenrezig.
One
prominent Buddhist story tells of Avalokiteśvara vowing to never rest
until he had freed all sentient beings from samsara. Despite strenuous
effort, he realizes that still many unhappy beings were yet to be
saved. After struggling to comprehend the needs of so many, his head
splits into eleven pieces. Amitabha Buddha, seeing his plight, gives
him eleven heads with which to hear the cries of the suffering. Upon
hearing these cries and comprehending them, Avalokiteśvara attempts to
reach out to all those who needed aid, but found that his two arms
shattered into pieces. Once more, Amitabha comes to his aid and invests
him with a thousand arms with which to aid the suffering multitudes.
In
the Tibetan tradition, Avalokiteśvara is seen as arising from two
sources. One is the relative source, where in a previous eon (kalpa)
a devoted, compassionate Buddhist monk became a bodhisattva,
transformed in the present kalpa into Avalokiteśvara. That is not in
conflict, however, with the ultimate source, which is Avalokiteśvara as
the universal manifestation of compassion. The bodhisattva is viewed as
the anthropomorphised vehicle for the actual deity, serving to bring
about a better understanding of Avalokiteśvara to humankind.
It
is written in the Mahayana Sutras that Avalokitesvara (Chenrezig in
Tibetan) gave his mantra to the Buddha himself, and Buddha in turn
granted him the special and noble task of helping all beings in the
universe toward buddhahood.At this moment all
the gods rained flowers on them, the earth shook, and the air rang with
the sound OM MANI PADME HUM HRIH (HRIH is a “seed-syllable” often added
to the mantra).
In the words of the poem:
Avalokitesvara is like the moon
Whose cool light puts out the burning fires of samasara
In its rays the night-flowering lotus of compassion
Opens wide its petals.
The
Mahayana teachings explain that each of the six syllables of the mantra
– OM MA NI PAD ME HUM – (pronounced by Tibetans: Om Mani Pe Me Hung)
has a specific and potent effect in bringing about transformation at
different levels of our being.The six syllables
purify completely the six poisonous negative emotions, which are the
manifestation of ignorance, and which cause us to act negatively with
our body, speech, and mind, so creating samsara and our suffering in it.Pride,
jealousy, desire, ignorance, greed, and anger are transformed, through
the mantra, into their true nature, the wisdoms of the six buddha
families that become manifest in the enlightened mind.
So when we recite OM MANI PADME HUM, the six negative emotions, which are the cause of the six realms of samsara, are purified.This
is how reciting the six syllables prevents rebirth in each of the six
realms, and also dispels the suffering inherent in each realm.At
the same time reciting OM MANI PADME HUM completely purifies the
aggregates of ego, the skandhas, and perfects the six kinds of
transcendental action of the heart of the enlightened mind, the paramitas of: generosity, harmonious conduct, endurance, enthusiasm, concentration, and insight.It
is also said that OM MANI PADME HUM grants strong protection from all
kinds of negative influences, and various different forms of illness.
