Mantra promote virtues ( paramita) (FD06072020-3)
This is one post that i been thinking for years when it comes to the virtue and its importance about it. basically from what i read so far, virtue is very important in buddhism as it is consider the best protector of all according to buddha shakyamuni. Virtue is also consider to be the greatest treasure in buddhism, one that help a person reach liberation , its a good man treasure and without it , a lot of your project/ goal started will never be able to complete or accomplish. Though it has been mention that those with virtue will suffer lesser than those who don't have, there are two thing that need to be highly caution here. This is that the wicked people will persecute those who has virtue more than the good man love virtue and also the fact that even though those with virtue will suffer lesser, one are still subject to natural disaster sufferings.in a simple example, hardworking, able to uphold responsibility (not running away from responsibility) and commitment is consider one of the virtue.So if you are not sure which to start with, Om Mani Padme Hum is the most beneficial mantra to consider as people will be kind to you.
The ten paramitas:
1. Generosity
2. Discipline
3. Patience
4. Diligence

*All credits of the information in this page & post goes to the respective author and publisher provided in the source link.
*consider going for mala bead . a standard mala bead should consist of
minimum 108 beads (that represent 108 types of worry , some mala had
additional beads for error or mistakes in your recitation ) . therefore
it is good as helping you to remember how many you have recited . mala
bracelet is also good but you may from time to time lost count of how
many you have recited and had to restart all over again. as for the
proper way of using mala and wearing it and taking care of your mala
beads, its best that you get advice from proper instructors. you may
want to consider ask a guru or monk in temple to bless your mala. The
more you recite, the more your mala protective powers will grow to the
point it can become a very strong protective talisman.
*Blow your mala bead when you have finish recite mantra for the day as this mean for your personal protection.
*You may need another mantra which is call heruka vajrayogini mantra
which helps to make your mala blessings get stronger as we are living in
a degenerative time (meaning negative karma getting stronger with each
passing time) . This mantra is said to be the more degenerative it is,
the more powerful this mantra will be.
* if one face obstacle while reciting mantra, the solution is to do sur
offering to wandering ghost. another option is to light an incense (such
as sandalwood incense, where spirits obtain their food through smell)
and put it on the windows side , or outside one house as charity food to
wandering ghost. then obstacle one is facing will be dispel. therefore
buddhist are being encourage to do sur offering before they start their
daily mantra practise .
