Om Mane Pehme Hung
This particular melody for the most well beloved chant in Tibetan Buddhism was taught to Darvesha MacDonald, one of the Sufis in the Dances of Universal Peace leadership, by a Tibetan monk named Lama Ngawang Tashi Bapu. He told her that when he was a child, his village would keep chanting this melody for days during festival times. Then when he went to join a monastery, at a young age, he felt lonely until soon after he arrived, when the monks all gathered and sang this same melody that he knew in his village. Then he knew he was at home.
The chant translates as "The Jewel is in the Lotus".
The awakened heart of the buddha is present in all of us.
I have read that in some Buddhist traditions people envision
a tiny little Avalokiteshvara (Buddha of Compassion)
in their heart as they sing this.
This recording is available on my CD,
Seen & Unseen, Songs from the Light of Midlife.
You can order/purchase that CD here.
