We also have the Seven individual Sanskrit Mantras (together as a single chant) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFDWVyCPkeQ
🌟🌟🌟 The Sapta Atītabuddha Karshaṇīya Dhāraṇī (Sanskrit), here sung by Buddha Weekly Bands lead Hrishikesh Sonar, is famous for purifying fixed karma — even heinous karma from both current and past lives — invoking the blessings of the Seven Successive Buddhas. It is also known as the Seven Buddhas' Sin Eradication Dhāraṇī (七佛滅罪真言, Qī Fó Miè Zuì Zhēnyán), and is one of the most powerful Mahayana Buddhist mantras used to purify negative karma, eliminate spiritual obstacles, and avert calamities. 🌟🌟🌟 🌟🌟🌟 🌟

It’s essence is inviting the blessings, purity, and essence of the Seven Past Buddhas (including Shakyamuni Buddha). It is widely practiced across East Asian Buddhist traditions and is famously grouped within the Ten Small Mantras (十小咒) chanted during daily monastic morning recitations.

🌟🌟 🌟Here Hrishikesh Sonar and the Buddha Weekly band powerfully chant the Sanskrit purifying Dharani Mantra of the Seven Buddhas in three sets of 7 repetitions. Each set is separated by devotional chanting of the Namos to the Seven Buddhas by name.

The 7 Successive Buddhas include our Gautama Shakyamuni Buddha, and the six previous Buddhas born in previous eras. It is practiced in all schools and traditions and lineages of Buddhism, including Theravadan, Mahayana, and Vajrayana.

Inviting the blessing of the Seven Successive Buddhas empowers vast, irresistable purification of negative karma, not only in our present life, but the sins of our past lives that may still be ripening in our current life. It is considered the most powerful purification mantra. Many other Buddhist mantras purify our current karma, but only this mantra, and a few others, have the profound vibrant energy necessary to purify even fixed karma from previous lives.

✅ In Devangari, this mantra is
देव देवते, च्यु ह च्यु हते, धर धृते, निर्हृते विमलते, स्वाहा।

✅ In IAST (International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration)
deva devate, cyu ha cyu hate, dhara dhṛte, nirhṛte vimalate, svāhā.

The great treasure vase, the nectar of the gods,
The harvest that needs no toil, and the seven precious substances—
We summon the spirit of all these excellent riches!

Gurus, devas and ḍākinīs, and Guru Padmasambhava,
In the shorter term, may we not lack resources,
And may we find circumstances favourable for following our dharmic aspirations,
Then, ultimately, may we all easily arrive at the primordial state!

CONTEXT or “Translation”:
‘Namo Bhagavate’ – I pay homage to the Blessed One, the Bhagavan, the One who has conquered the four maras of delusion.
‘Aparimitāyur’ – This is the core. Aparimita means ‘Boundless’ or ‘Immeasurable.’ Ayur means ‘Life’ or ‘Vitality.’ So we bow to the ‘Boundless Life.’
‘Jñāna Suviniścitate’ – This is not just a long life, but a life that is ‘Perfectly and Clearly Determined by Wisdom.’ It is the wisdom that sees the nature of reality.
Oṁ, the primordial sound of the body, speech, and mind of the Buddhas.We recite: Puṇya, Mahā Puṇya, Aparimita Puṇya.Puṇya is ‘Merit’—the positive potential accumulated through virtue.Mahā Puṇya is ‘Great Merit.’Aparimita Puṇya is ‘Immeasurable Merit.’
‘Oṁ Sarva Saṃskāra Pariśuddha Dharmate’ – Sarva means ‘All.’ Saṃskāra means ‘Conditioned phenomena’ or ‘Mental formations.’ Pariśuddha means ‘Thoroughly Purified.’ Dharmate means ‘The nature of reality’ or ‘Dharmata.’
‘Gagaṇa Samudgate’ – Gagaṇa is ‘Space’—the vast, open sky. Samudgate means ‘Risen to’ or ‘Transcended to.’‘Svabhāva Pariśuddhe’ – ‘Naturally and utterly pure in its own essence.’
‘Mahānaya’ – Mahā means ‘Great.’ Naya means ‘Guidance,’ ‘Method,’ or ‘Path.’ It is the Great Vehicle, the profound path of Bodhicitta.
‘Parivāre’ – Means ‘Retinue’ or ‘Entourage.’ This signifies all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors who surround the Buddha of Boundless Life.
‘Svāhā’ – This is the final consecration. It means ‘So be it,’ ‘Hail,’ or ‘May the blessings take root.’ It is the offering of the heart, the sealing of the prayer into reality.
‘Aparimitāyur Puṇya Jñāna Saṃbhāro Pacite’ – This is the crucial turning point. It translates to: ‘One who is perfected (or adorned) by the accumulation of merit and wisdom of immeasurable life.’
TRANSLATION OF THE MANTRA:
Oṃ: The sacred primal sound opening the universe.
Amṛta: The deathless, immortal nectar of truth.
Teje: Radiant or brilliant spiritual light and power.
Hara: The act of taking away disaster or bearing wisdom.
Hūṃ: The seed syllable of protection, refuge, and unmovable truth
