Chanting other Heart Mantras

       After emerging from Samadhi, the next step is the recitation of the principal Heart Mantras - "Om, a-mee deh-wah, she," "Om, ma-nee pad-mee, hum," "Om, pn-lah-moh lint oh-lin, so-ha,' 'Om, ha ha ha wei-sa-moh-deh, so-ha," "Om, dzu-le dzu-lee zhun-the, so-ha," "Om, Jam-bah-lah chah-lan chah-nah-yeh, so-ha," "Om ah hum, be-dza, guru, peh-ma, sih-dee, hum sed," "Oh ah hum, gu-ru-bei, a-ho-sa-sa-ma-ha, lian-sehng shih-dee hun," "Deh-yah-tah, om, beh, kah-dze-yah, beh-kah-dze-yah, ma-ha beh-kah-dze-yah, la-dza-sah-mo-kyah-doh-yah, so-ha."
       The main reason behind chanting the mantras of these eight principal Personal Deities of the True Buddha School is to pray for a stronger affinity between oneself and the eight Personal Deities. Through affinities with these eight Personal deities, one develops affinities with all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Mahasattvas in all times and spaces. This also symbolizes that one regards all deities equally. Each of these mantras can be recited once, three times, or seven times, depending on how much time one has at the moment.
