| Surangama Heart Mantra - Remove All Negative Energy | Shorts | 10 juil. 2025 | 00:00:53 | |
The Surangama Heart mantra is from the Surangama Mantra, king of all mantras. If you wish to recite the Surangama mantra but don't have the time or capacity to memorise it completely, you can recite the Surangama heart mantra (108 times or more); the merit is the same. The mantra is known for it's supreme power to eliminate all karmic obstacles and remove all negative energy for practitioners. If someone has sleep paralysis, nightmares, depression, etc., chanting this Heart Mantra can break all obstacles. It is also good for Pure Land practitioners to practice this mantra for meditative concentration, if one finds chanting just 'Amituofo' to be "too simple" or "too boring". I'm introducing different Mantras and Dharanis for people with different roots, capacities and preferences. If one transfers the merit of chanting this mantra towards being reborn in the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha and practices Nianfo, one can still be reborn in Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land. 🔸 Official Website (for Daily Nianfo & Free Dharma Resources): https://www.pure-land-buddhism.com/ 🔸 Official link to register for our upcoming 3 Refuges and 5 Precepts Ceremony on 13th July, 2025: https://www.pure-land-buddhism.com/3-refuges-ceremony 🔸August Weekend Nianfo Meditation Retreat at Hai Hui Shan International Pure Land Centre (Melbourne): https://haihuishan.au/retreats 🔸Events at Hai Hui Shan International Pure Land Centre (Melbourne): https://haihuishan.au/events May all beings hear the name of Amitabha Buddha and be reborn in His Land of Ultimate Bliss 🙏 🙏 Namo Amitabha Buddha 🙏 🙏 Namo Amituofo 🙏 | |||

| Surangama Mantra 🙏 | Shorts | 09 juil. 2025 | 00:00:57 | |
Surangama Mantra 🙏 Surangama mantra or dharani is known as the king of all mantras in Chinese Mahayana Buddhism. It has the power to defeat all evils (and all kinds of black magic etc.) For one who recites the surangama mantra, it can help eliminate all karmic obstacles. In additiion, for one who recites the Surangama mantra, it can help in attaining rebirth in Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land at the end of life, as the mantra also contains Amitabha Buddha's name (and also enables one to freely choose to attain rebirth in other Pure Lands. However, we recommend Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land as always!) It's of course much more complicated to recite the Surangama mantra. For Nianfo practitioners, one can simply recite Amituofo with faith and vow, as it's more than sufficient to attain rebirth in Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land. For those who have very good roots and have a keen mind to learn and with good memory, one can also study the Surangama mantra. 🔸 Official Website (for Daily Nianfo & Free Dharma Resources): https://www.pure-land-buddhism.com/ 🔸 Official link to register for our upcoming 3 Refuges and 5 Precepts Ceremony on 13th July, 2025: https://www.pure-land-buddhism.com/3-refuges-ceremony 🔸August Weekend Nianfo Meditation Retreat at Hai Hui Shan International Pure Land Centre (Melbourne): https://haihuishan.au/retreats 🔸Events at Hai Hui Shan International Pure Land Centre (Melbourne): https://haihuishan.au/events May all beings hear the name of Amitabha Buddha and be reborn in His Land of Ultimate Bliss 🙏 🙏 Namo Amitabha Buddha 🙏 🙏 Namo Amituofo 🙏 | |||

| The Three Blessings of Pure Karma (Intro) | Buddhism 101 | 21 juin 2025 | 00:18:11 | |
In this video, Jiawen introduces a very important set of practices for both Pure Land practitioners and Buddhists in general—the Three Blessings of Pure Karma (净业三福). Taught by the Buddha in the Visualisation Sutra (《观无量寿经》), these blessings are a crucial complement to the Main Practice of Faith, Vow, and Nianfo. For Pure Land practitioners, cultivating the Three Blessings not only lays a solid foundation for rebirth in Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land, but also enhances the potential for attaining a higher grade of rebirth. While essential to Pure Land practice, these teachings are universally relevant to all who walk the Buddhist path. This video marks the beginning of a new series that explores the meaning and application of the Three Blessings of Pure Karma.
