Reverse Negative To Positive Mantra - Om Mani Padme Hum (108 Times)

Reverse Negative to Positive Mantra - Om Mani Padme Hum - 108 Times

Siddhartha Gautama, better known as the Buddha or Enlightened One, laid down a path through life that is followed by more than three hundred million people today.
Born a prince of the Shakya tribe of Nepal in around 566BC, he could apparently stand, walk and speak at birth, telling his mother he had come to free mankind from suffering. His name, Siddhartha, meant he who has attained his goals but after a soothsayer proclaimed that he would become either a great kind or the saviour of humanity, his father king Suddhodana decided he should be sheltered from the extremes of life so as to ensure the former outcome.
Siddhartha forsook his royal lifestyle at the age of 29 after witnessing death for the first time. His response to the questions it posed was to attempt six years of arduous yogic training, during which he fasted almost to the point of death while seeking answers but it was only when he sat underneath a Bodhi tree and meditated that on the full moon of May and with rising of the morning star, he became the Buddha. He would spend the next 45 years teaching others to Dharma or middle way between the extremes of poverty and luxury, idealism and materialism.
That moment of revelation was accident but the culmination of an evolutionary process that led to a perfectly enlightened being. In the same way, those who would know inner peace must refine themselves. Unlike Christianity, which promised fulfilment in the afterlife, Buddhism offers the prospect of peace and contentment in the present through locating the middle way and meditation is a key tool in that quest.
Buddhist meditation is intended to focus energy in a mindful way to gain an insight or wisdom known as Prajna. By becoming full aware of the inner self, the resulting calm and peaceful state is reflected in relations with others and the quest is an ongoing one: when devotees meet each other, their traditional greeting is 'a lotus for you, a Buddha to be'. Everyone has the potential to be a foully blooming ' human flower' and practice makes perfect.
The classic physical posture adopted for meditation is the cross-legged lotus but standing, lying down or even walking are among the approved alternatives. The important thing is comfort. Buddhist monks meditate in the early morning before the demands of the day begin to compete for attention. Consciousness of your breathing patterns is important, breathing out expels problems and tension while the inhalation of free air brings with it happiness and hope, refreshing mind and body,
