To Develop Compassion
Extensive intellectual
understanding of philosophy is not enough. One needs to meditate. Yet even
that is not enough. One needs to receive the special blessing of the Deity of
Compassion, Chenrezig. Thus one needs to meditate on Chenrezig and recite
the mantra of the Deity of Compassion, om mani padme hum. Om mani
padme hum is the mantra cherished by all the Buddhas. By reciting this
mantra you will be able to fulfill the wishes of all sentient beings. This mantra
may be recited by anyone wishing for happiness, even the animals,
mosquitoes, spiders, lobsters, and ants need to recite it, if they could!
