Her mantra is short and easy to remember and pronounce (remembering the “c” is pronounced with a “ch” sound like “cheers”). It is simply:
oṃ cale cule cunde svāhā
The Full Dharani with mantra is:
namah saptanam samyak-sambuddha kotinam tadyatha
om cale cule cunde svaha
Cundi (Chundi), also known as Cunda (Chunda) is none other than Wisdom and Compassion embodied. In a Drikung meditation manual, she is described this way:
Cunda quickly ripens all spiritual powers.
She motivates Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to help living beings, induces beings to embark on the Buddhist Path, and inspires renouncers and solitary achievers to follow the Bodhisattva Way.
Shakyamuni proclaimed that her mantras shake the Buddha-worlds, defeat all demons, and bestow many miraculous powers.
Through the recitation of her mantra, all diseases are purified, and Buddhahood is quickly attained.
Even a tenth-level Bodhisattva does not surpass her in brilliance.
All worldly and spiritual perfections are attained through her mantra.
