“Om mane padme hum“ encompasses the three powers that the Buddha contains which is body, speech and mind. Therefore, when we recite hail to the jewel in the lotus, it’s a double fold meaning, the outer meaning is soliciting the energies of compassion so, that we can forgive and let go of things that we have done to others and let go of things that others have done to us.

On an inner level is to open up energies we recite “Om Mane Padme Hum” and we meditate on the things that we have done just meditating on compassion is not tangible but to meditate on the things we have done or focus on the things that we have done that we regret and truly think about it and face it.

RAINBOW GURU

In Rewalsar, known as Tso Pema in Tibetan, he secretly taught tantric teachings to princess Mandarava, the local king's daughter. The king found out and tried to burn him, but it is believed that when the smoke cleared he was found to be just sitting there, still alive and in meditation.Thus the king was greatly astonished by this miracle, the king offered Padmasambhava both his kingdom and Mandarava.

Padmasambhava then left with Mandarava, and took to Maratika Cave in Nepal to practice secret tantric consort rituals.

They had a vision of buddha Amitayus and achieved what is called the Rainbow body of the great transference in the Vajrayana tradition, a very rare type of spiritual realization.Practitioners of Padmasambhava's terma still achieve this type of realization today.Both Padmasambhava and Mandarava are still believed to be alive and active in this Rainbow Body form by their followers. She and Padmasambhava's other main consort, Yeshe Tsogyal who was responsible for hiding his numerous terma later in Tibet became fully enlightened.

Shiva is the most important Hindu god for the Shaivism sect, the patron of Yogis and Brahmins, and also the protector of the Vedas, the sacred texts.

Hindus believe his powers of destruction and recreation are used even now to destroy the illusions and imperfections of this world, paving the way for beneficial change. According to Hindu belief, this destruction is not arbitrary, but constructive. Shiva is therefore seen as the source of both good and evil and is regarded as the one who combines many contradictory elements.

The nature of the mind, which is all-knowing, aware of everything, empty and radiant, is established to be the manifestly radiant and self-originating pristine cognition, present from the beginning, just like the sky...”

Kuntu Zangpo is the Primordial Buddha. The name Kuntu Zangpo means “that which is most excellent and present in all places.” Thus our ancient texts refer to Kuntu Zangpo as being “Self-Awareness”, “True Self” and “Source of the Self”.

This Primordial Buddha has never had to attain enlightenment and liberation from Samsara because He has been fully and perfectly enlightened from the very beginning.

He has never even entered into the delusions of Samsara in the first place. He has nothing to attain or realize; He simply is what He is from the very beginning and never otherwise.
