Beauty of Mantra

"What is mantra?

The path of magic."

~ Sangharakshita

Evoking the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

In Buddhist tradition, each mantra has a different quality and energy, and is
associated with a different Buddha or Bodhisattva. A mantra is the sound
form, or symbol, of that quality eg Wisdom or Compassion. By chanting a
mantra, one is invoking, calling on the divinity and the particular quality
that the divinity embodies. In doing so, one is cultivating that quality
within oneself and raising one's own vibration and consciousness.

Sacred Sound Medicine

Mantra is tantric. It is both a devotional practice
and a form of meditation. It's a portal to another
dimension. Mantra has the power to take you
out of your head and into your heart and body,
to bring peace and calm, to uplift, heal and
transform. One becomes more concentrated,
grounded, present, blissful and whole. One
drops down the ancient well, down into the
nourishing still depths where one finds one's
purpose, faith and love, again and again.

Unique and exquisite style

Mahasukha teaches Buddhist mantras in part-harmony and accompanies
the chanting with gentle but powerful drumming. His style of mantra is
soulful, enchanting and deeply moving. We chant before a beautiful
shrine and make candle offerings. We enact a ritual. We create
a sacred space full of mystery, wonder and magic.

  "This is so
magical!
I can feel how
with every note
my breath becomes
slower and deeper
      and my heart opens
to the world.
Thank you.” ~ Lily

“It was another incredible evening.
Incredible is not strong enough a word.
I have had some very powerful experiences while meditating but that was
the first time I’ve experienced it during mantra. It was the perfect mantra for
me at the moment. I experienced such a huge amount of strength, love and bliss.
It was euphoric really but somehow it had a huge amount of internal power behind it.”
