100 Syllable Mantra 金剛薩埵百字明


Vajrasattva Short Mantra
OM VAJRASATTVA HUM
Six-syllable Vajrasattva MantraCalligraphy by The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche.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.

修行首須去除業障及不良習氣,除障去習,百字明最為有效,百字明是金剛薩埵的根本誓句,是一百個字組成的咒,在藏密中持誦百字明被列為四加行之一。

此是淨除一切罪業的咒王,因為往昔金剛薩垛佛在因地時曾發下大願:『願我證得無上佛果時,如果有眾生造五無間罪,破壞三昧耶誓言,一旦他們能聽到我的名號,對我有虔信,念誦咒王百字明,則一切罪障清除無餘,此願不成,我終不證得無上菩提。願我金剛薩埵化身無數,常住於具有業障者面前,從而淨除他們的一切罪障,以止息眾生之苦,令得解脫成佛。』常修金剛薩埵除障法可消滅一切惡業罪障,破一切無明煩惱,增長無量無邊的福德智慧。於修任何法門之後,若加誦金剛薩埵百字明三至七遍,可補缺漏,諸尊護法將不為咎。
