Welcome to another Buddha Weekly Emergency Mantra Time-Out—your short, emergency sanctuary when life feels heavy, overwhelming, or unsafe. Feeling Drained? Paranoia? Bad Luck? Do you feel like you are under attack by "black magic," curses, or the hostile intentions of others? Whether you view this as an external spell or a heavy psychological obstruction (a storm of paranoia and dread), the suffering is real. It leaves you feeling isolated and waiting for the other shoe to drop. In this emergency time-out, we turn to the ultimate protection: Black Tara (Vadi Pramardani Tara) . We also discuss other options, including the Parittas and Sitatapatra practices. 🛡️ Who is Black Tara? She is the 7th of the 21 Taras, known as "Tara Who Crushes Adversaries." But as an enlightened Bodhisattva, she does not kill or create bad karma. Like a fierce mother elephant protecting her calf, she destroys the causes of black magic—the anger, jealousy, and ignorance in the mind of the harm-doer—and neutralizes their negative energy. She simultaneously purifies the fear and self-doubt within your own mindstream. 🧠 The Psychology of Protection As the 11th-century yogini Machig Labdron taught: "As long as there is an ego, there are demons." A curse gains power when our fear gives it permission to take root. By visualizing Black Tara—a Jungian "shadow" empowered for good—we shatter paranoia and reclaim our personal power. 🙏 The Ultimate Refuge Regardless of the form we visualize, our true refuge is the Three Jewels: Buddha: The Enlightened form (Black Tara) we visualize. Dharma: The sacred mantra we chant. Sangha: Our connection to all sentient beings. Against the Triple Gem, no evil or obstacle can prevail. ✨ What You Will Experience in This Video: Guidance: Understanding how Buddhism meets the fear of black magic without judgment. Visualization: A guided meditation on the radiant, dark-blue light of Black Tara. The Mantra: Chanting the potent Sanskrit mantra for dissolving curses, with Hrishikesh Sonar and the Buddha Weekly Band. The Shield: Visualizing an impenetrable sphere of wisdom fire that consumes all negativity before it reaches you. 🎵 Black Tara MANTA: oṃ tāre tuttāre ture sarva vidyā avarṇā ye bhye phaṭ svahā ओं तारे तुत्तारे तुरे सर्व विद्या अवर्णा ये भ्ये फट स्वहा ॥ 🎵 The Mantra Translation: "Homage to Tara, the saviouress from suffering and fear, whose wisdom cuts and transforms, dissolves or eliminates every obstacle, curse, and negativity." ⏱️ Timecodes: 0:00 – Introduction: Facing the Fear of Black Magic 2:22 – How Buddhism Views Curses & Psychic Attack 3:42 – Black Tara: The Undefeatable Protector 4:48 – The Psychology of Demons & The Ego 6:31 - True Refuge and Protection: the Three Jewels 8:07 – Guided Visualization: The Blue Light of Protection 12:15 – Chanting the Mantra (Hrishikesh Sonar with Buddha Weekly Band) 💡 Benefits of This Practice: Dissolves Fear: Calms the "storm of paranoia" and unexplained dread. Energetic Cleansing: Visualizing the blue light purifies negative imprints and bad karma. Restores Boundaries: Provides a powerful archetype to shatter psychological vulnerability. Connects to Sangha: Reminds you that you are not alone; you are connected to the life force of the Universe. 👤 Who Is This For? Anyone feeling drained, isolated, or targeted by negativity. Those experiencing "bad luck" or spiritual obstructions. Practitioners seeking a swift, wrathful protection practice. Anyone needing an "emergency" spiritual reset. CREDITS: Illustrations by V.V. Sapar, Niels Petersen, Lasha Mutual, and Thangkha Nepal. Thank you!

Grief Attack Quick Fix - Amitabha Mantra and Pureland Dharani meditation and chanting
📱 A BuddhaCast ✨ with Josephine Nolan and Dave Lang (available as audio podcast on your favorite podcast service). 📱 In this fascinating and intense deep dive Podcast, Dave and Josephine ask: "Are we literally making ourselves sick on a molecular level just by the acoustic frequency of our own negative self-talk? If we know that sound waves radically alters the chemistry of water, and we know that if, as the science points to, we are basically walking bags of water, then we have to ask a really uncomfortable question about our own internal monologue." "The casual words we say to ourselves every single day. If chanting Om can structure your cellular water for healing, what happens when you spend your entire day repeating things like, I'm so exhausted, or I'm falling apart, or I can't do this? It's like a reverse mantra." Are those daily complaints physically acting as a reverse mantra? Are we literally making ourselves sick on a molecular level just by the acoustic reinforcement of our own negative self-talk? And they dive even deeper into accoustic resonance, cavitation, ancient Buddhist Mantras and life-force retrieval, what shaman used to call "soul retrieval" Don't miss this fascinating and lively podcast!! Dave and Josephine explore this and other science-back aspects of Buddhist meditation and healing, with an intense dive into Buddhist Lifeorce Restoration, or La Gug. 👉 What if the key to unlocking your body’s innate healing power lies not in a pill, but in the ancient vibrations of your own voice and the power of your mind? On this episode of the Buddha Weekly BuddhaCast, hosts Josephine Nolan and Dave Lang dive deeper than ever before into the intersection of Buddhist wisdom and cutting-edge science. We move beyond basic mindfulness to explore a groundbreaking synthesis of Tibetan healing practices, modern psychoneuroimmunology, and the physics of sound. 👉Join us as we decode how the concept of La—your vital life force—can be fractured by modern stress and how ancient practices like Lagug (vitality retrieval) are designed to repair it. We'll explore the "Vajrayana Practices," comparing the gentle healing of the Medicine Buddha to the fierce, aggressive power of Black Manjushri and the ultimate "nuclear option" of the Vajrapani-Hayagriva-Garuda triad for combating severe illness. 👉Finally, we demystify mantras, revealing them not as mere prayers, but as "acoustic technology" that utilizes sonochemistry to restructure the water in your cells and entrain your biology toward health. This is the ultimate guide to becoming an active participant in your own healing journey, using the tools of an ancient tradition that modern science is only just beginning to understand. 🔹 DISCLAIMER: These practices are supportive and NOT a replacement for proper medical advice and healthcare. 🔹🔹🔹Episode Breakdown with Timecodes: Episode Breakdown with Timecodes: (00:00) Introduction: The New Paradigm of Healing (02:30) Buddhist Vitality: Understanding the "La" (Life Force) (05:45) The Mind as Medicine: Shattering the "Syndrome" Trap (09:15) The Science of the Mind-Body Connection (14:30) The Vajrayana Pharmacy: The Healers and the "General Practitioner" (18:45) Aggressive Diseases & The "Nuclear Option" (22:45) Mantras: Ancient Acoustic Technology (26:45) The "Reverse Mantra" (27:45) Conclusion & Final Thoughts 🔹🔹🔹Resources / Citations 📖 MOST of these studies are found on https://buddhweekly.com.

Audio only on Spotify, Apple, and other podcast streamers. Welcome back to BuddhaCast: Demystifying Buddhism with your editors from Buddha Weekly. In this episode, Josephine Nolan and Dave Lang dive deep into the profound and transformative teachings of the Padma (Lotus) Family in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. We explore the radical concept of "Buddhist Alchemy"—the idea that our most intense cravings, attachments, and emotional flaws are not weaknesses to be suppressed, but the very raw materials needed for enlightenment. Instead of killing desire, this ancient wisdom teaches us how to transmute it into boundless compassion. Join us as we journey through the Western Pure Land of Sukhavati, unpack the esoteric psychology of the Nine Red Deities of the Wangdu (Cloud of Blessings), and discover how to practice the art of "magnetizing" for the benefit of all beings.

Introducing a third path: transmuting our "poisons" into enlightened wisdom.  4:00 - The Psychological Matrix of the Five Buddha Families What is Mahayana and Vajrayana? The "Great Vehicle" and the "Diamond Vehicle." Understanding the Five Buddha Families as an ancient personality system. 11:00 - Discriminating Awareness Wisdom: The Solvent for Superglue The radical teaching: wisdom does not destroy the energy of desire, it clarifies it. How craving is a "massive burning energy" that can be focused through a narrow, selfish lens or expanded into universal compassion. 16:00 - Amitabha Buddha: The King Who Gave Up Power for Compassion The origin story of Dharmakara: a king who renounced his throne to become a monk. The 48 Vows: Holding his own enlightenment "hostage" to create a Pure Land for all beings.   25:00 - The Wangdu: The Great Cloud of Blessings A "Mind Terma": Teachings hidden to be revealed at the right time (Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche, 1879). Why Magnetizing Activity is vital for the "degenerate age." 31:00 - The Nine Deities of the Lotus Family (The Trikaya) 41:00 - Kurukulla: The Enlightened Enchantress Who is the "Red Tara"? The Dakini of Enlightened Magic. Clearing the Misconception: She is NOT a Cupid or a love goddess. The Flower Bow and Arrow: How she magnetizes only that which is beneficial for our spiritual path. 48:00 - The Practical Magic of the Practice Understanding Prana, Chi, and the "Wind Horse"—the vital life force that carries our intentions. The power of the seed syllable "Hrih" and the mantra to "extensively attract." The Visualization of the Red Hooks of Light: Reaching out to rescue and gather all beings with irresistible compassion. 54:00 - Applying Lotus Family Wisdom Today A Practical 4-Step Process to transform a moment of craving into an act of compassion: 1:00:00 - Final Thoughts & Resources The core takeaway: Your most intense, messy cravings are not something to be ashamed of—they are the exact raw materials you need to wake up.

📚🔥 ARE YOU CARRYING THE COLD WEIGHT OF LONELINESS? Do you feel separated from loved ones or isolated from the world? In this Mantra Time Out, we offer an emergency quick-fix practice to dissolve the icy grip of attachment and reconnect you with the infinite light of your Buddha Nature. We are never truly alone. Through the warm, magnetizing wisdom of the Red Lotus Family (Amitabha) and the active compassion of Kurukulla (Red Tara), we transform the poison of isolation into universal connection. ✨ IN THIS 5-MINUTE EMERGENCY PRACTICE: The Visual Meditation: A guided visualization using sunset-red light to melt loneliness. The Buddhist Psychology: Why clinging to people and memories and things and cravings and addictions causes separation, and how to let go. The Chant: A powerful rendition of the Kurukulla Mantra to magnetize compassion and connection. 🎧 JUMP TO THE PRACTICE:Guidance & Visualization: Mantra Chanting Begins: 10:27 🙏 WHY THIS WORKS: According to Buddhist wisdom, loneliness isn’t just an empty room—it’s the attachment to filling it. The "Red Family" of Buddhas transforms this cold poison (desire) into warm compassion. Kurukulla's symbolic flower-arrows pierce our armor of isolation, hooking us back to the Dharma and to the truth that we are inseparable from all beings. “Once we realize we are inseparable from Buddha Nature, we understand there is no such thing as death and separation.” DISCLAIMER: Always seek professional caregiver support for significant issues. LONELIEST PEOPLE (according to studies) 📚 Youth and Young Adults (Gen Z): People aged 15 to 29 report the highest rates of frequent loneliness globally, often driven by heavy screen time, less in-person socializing, and major life changes.  📚 People with Health Issues: Individuals living with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or poor mental health experience much higher rates of isolation. Data Sources: Statistics Canada, BBC, Education Week (“Teens are the Loneliest People in the World” feature), Links below. 🔴 MANTRA DETAILS:This is the Kurukulla Power Mantra, beautifully chanted by our Buddha Weekly Band, with lead singer and songwriter Hrishikesh SonarNo formal empowerment is required to chant this mantra if you have the Bodhichitta intention—the intention to benefit all sentient beings. 📚 DEEPER DIVE:Want to explore the full symbolism of Red Tara Kurukulla, Amitabha, and the Lotus Family?

BENEFITS: PURIFIES AND ELIMINATES all NEGATIVE KARMA, SINS, and OBSTACLES including those caused in this life and previous lifetimes. Seven Buddhas Purifying Dharani Sanskrit Chant 🌸🌸🌸 🌸🌸🌸 🌸 Sapta Atītabuddha Karshaṇīya Dhāraṇī 七佛滅罪陀羅尼 (Qī Fó Miè Zuì Tuó Luó Ní) @3GemsBand chants this in Chinese here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5knsLEHYm0 in English: "Seven Past Buddhas Sin-Destroying Dhāraṇī" MUSIC AVAILABLE on your Favorite MUSIC STREAMER: SONG: 7 Buddhas Purifying Dharani Sanskrit Chant Artist: Buddha Weekly with lead singer song/writer Hrishikesh Sonar ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/album/24bIyXRLCw8t1LLExAvpof ON APPLE MUSIC: https://music.apple.com/us/album/7-buddhas-purifying-dharani-sanskrit-chant-ep/6797072812 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. ✅ Pronunciation (Cheat sheet for sing-along): DAY-vuh day-VAH-tay,CHOO-huh CHOO-huh-tay,DAH-ruh DRIT-tay,neer-HREE-tay vee-mah-LAH-tay,SWAH-hah. ✅ BETWEEN MANTRA SETS namo vipaśyine buddhāya | namaḥ śikhine buddhāya | namo viśvabhuve buddhāya | namo krakucchandāya buddhāya | namo kanakamunaye buddhāya | namo kāśyapāya buddhāya | namo śākyamunaye buddhāya || ✅ Devanagari (Sanskrit Script) नमो विपश्यिने बुद्धाय । नमः शिखिने बुद्धाय । नमो विश्वभुवे बुद्धाय । नमो क्रकुच्छन्दाय बुद्धाय । नमो कनकमुनये बुद्धाय । नमो काश्यपाय बुद्धाय । नमो शाक्यमुनये बुद्धाय ॥ The Blame-Dispersing Words of the Seven Buddhas of the Past Sapta Atītabuddha Karshaṇīya Dhāraṇī (Chinese: 七佛滅罪真言, Pinyin: Qīfó Mièzuì Zhēnyán; associated with The Seven Buddhas of Antiquity):  ✅ In other languages: Traditional Chinese 離婆離婆帝。求訶求訶帝。陀羅尼帝。尼訶囉帝。毗黎你帝。摩訶伽帝。真陵幹帝。莎婆訶。 Pinyin Lípó lípó dì.

🎵🎵 We are deeply honored to present sacred chanting of "Tara’s Own Promise Dharani"  (Tārāsvapratijñādhāraṇī) 🎵. This project is a sacred sonic journey into the heart of the Sutra of Tara’s Promise, capturing the essence of Noble Tārā’s vow to protect all beings. 🛡️🛡️🛡️Beautifully launched with stunning visuals of Tara's rescues of beings! 🛡️🛡️🛡️ ✨ The Power of This Dharani ✨In the Sutra, the benefits are explained: “By merely recalling this dhāraṇī, all dangers will be eliminated, all accomplishments attained, and all sentient beings brought under control.” It is said that on the 8th or 15th day of the moon, or daily, if one makes offerings and recites this, Tārā will grant whatever you desire. 🛡️ Protection from the 16 Fears 🛡️Tārā protects us from the 8 outer fears and the 8 inner fears. Each outer danger corresponds to a negative psychological state that she helps us overcome: 🦁 Lions (Pride) 🐘 Wild Elephants (Ignorance/Delusion) 🔥 Fire (Anger & Hatred)🐍 Snakes (Jealousy) 🌊 Floods (Attachment & Clinging)⛓️ Imprisonment (Miserliness & Greed)🥷 Thieves (Wrong Views) 👻 Demons (Doubt & Disturbing Ego-Emotions) 🛡️ DHARANI in IAST Sanskrit: tadyathā  oṁ tāre tārāyai hūṁ hūṁ hūṁ samaya­sthite bhara bhara sarvābharaṇa­vibhūṣite padme padme mahā­padmāsana­sthite hasa hasa trailokyavarade sarva­deva­dānava­pūjite smarāhi bhagavati tāre smarāhi bhagavatas tathāgatasya purataḥ samayaṃ dhara dhara mahā­sattvāvalokite maṇi­kanaka­vicitrābharaṇe  oṁ vilokāya mama sarva bhagavati tāre hrīṁ hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā 🎵 FOR OUR SONG, sing Mama Sarva, which means: "look upon me and all” as opposed to “say the name” — in your personal practice you could say the name of your teacher or the person you’re dedicated the practice to (but leaving in sarva, which means all) but in group practice we’d say “myself and all” as in Mama (myself) and Sarva “All”). So for instance, if you dedicated this to His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, to his protection and healing and long life, you would say oṁ vilokāya Garchen Rinpoche sarva bhagavati tāre hrīṁ hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā. 📍 Where to Listen/Watch:Available on YouTube and your favorite music streaming service on the 3Gems Band channels @3GemsBand CONCISE TRANSLATION (for comprehension. The line by line is best for chant along comprehension NOT for singing. See below.) It is thus: Oṃ Tārā, to Tārā, hūṃ hūṃ hūṃ, abiding in your sacred pledge, sustain sustain, adorned with all ornaments, lotus lotus, abiding on the great lotus seat, smile smile, bestower of blessings in the three worlds, honored by all gods and demons, remember me O Blessed Lady Tārā, remember me before the Bhagavat Tathāgata, hold the pledge hold it, you who gaze upon great beings, adorned with varied jewels and gold.

The 8 Great Bodhisattvas 八大菩薩古風 — also known as the Eight Great Siblings or the Eight Great Heroes — represent the eight great ideals of the Mahayana Path. They also represent the Eightfold Path as taught by Buddha in his very first teaching, through the compassionate lens of Mahayana Buddhism, the Bodhisattva Path. Their example expresses the Buddhist ideal of compassion and wisdom for all beings. The Eight Great Bodhisattvas also represent the Eight Great qualities of Shakyamuni Buddha. Here, 3 Gems Band sings their eight heart mantras Gufeng Style in Chinese. See below for the lyrics in Chinese, Pinyin for sing-along, English and Sanskrit.

🎵 NEW MUSIC VIDEO of our New Music RELEASE! 🎵"Khandha Paritta – 7 Buddhas Protection"By 3Gems Band We are overjoyed to share the next chapter in our journey through the sacred Pali Parittas! 🪷 Our new single, Khandha Paritta, is a powerful and beautiful protection chant, woven with the universal energy of Loving-Kindness (Metta) for all living beings. Inspired by the daily chants relied upon by millions for comfort and safety, this track chants the ancient formula that radiates love toward all creatures—those with no legs, two legs, four legs, or many legs; vipers on land, serpents in water, and all beings of the earth, sky, and sea. 🌍🌊🌿 The heart of the song features a sacred protective seal, a chant that shields us from harm, culminating in a profound homage to the Seven Successive Buddhas. It is a sonic blessing—expressing unconditional love while invoking powerful spiritual protection. 🎶 Music & Arrangement: Kongchok Namkha🎤 Vocals: 3Gems Band 📀 LISTEN NOW:Available for streaming on your favorite music service under the title “Khandha Paritta 7 Buddhas Protection” by 3Gems Band.(Note: Release times may vary across platforms.
