  Mantra Corto

OM AH KSHITI GARBHA THALENG HUM

Ksitigarbha

Ksitigarbha es uno de los más importantes Bodhisattvas, especialmente porque es capaz de liberar a los seres de sus sufrimientos.

Ksitigarbha es como la tierra que todo lo absorbe, ya que la tierra es capaz de absorber y transformar todo lo que se le echa.

Precisamente su nombre significa Ti=Tierra, Si=lo almacenado y Garbha: almacén. Así que es “todo lo almacenado en ella”, “matriz de tierra” o “almacén de

tierra” o el que como la tierra lo acepta y soporta todo. En la tierra puedes arrojar orines, excrementos, pus, agua sucia o limpia, sangre, aceite,

basura o abono, semillas, fertilizantes y todo lo recicla.

Ksitigarbha es capaz de absorber el sufrimiento de todos los seres de este universo Saha, del continente de Jambundipa y especialmente de los seres que habitan los reinos inferiores.

Por compasión Ksitigarbha renunció a alcanzar el estado de Buda hasta la llegada del Buda Maitreya, para ayudar a los seres hundidos en los seis destinos del Samsara, consagrándose

en especial a los que sufren en los infiernos y esforzándose en aligerarles del fardo del karma.

Se le conoce como “el salvador que libera de los tormentos de los infiernos”. Se le invoca en oriente en especial para que ayude a los niños muertos, a los nacidos sin vida o a los

abortos.

Se le invoca también en caso de catástrofes.

Figura entre el grupo de los ocho grandes bodhisattvas junto con Manjushri, Vajrapani, Avalokitesvara, Maitreya, Sarvanivaranaviskambhin, Akasagarbha y Samantabhadra.

Según el Sutra de Ksitigarbha, el Sutra Dasacakra o Dasakakrasutra, el que ve, oye, recuerda, o toca este mantra denominado Lotus Pináculo de Amoghapasha será purificado

de todas las negatividades y ganará la libertad de renacer en los reinos inferiores

OM PADMO USHNISHA VIMALE HUM PHAT

En el Dasakakrasutra se exponen sus cualidades.

Ksitigarbha en su mano derecha tiene una especie de báculo, con argollas en la parte superior, como el que usaban los viajeros antiguamente para espantar alimañas de los

caminos y que simbólicamente utiliza para romper las puertas del infierno y el sufrimiento. En su mano izquierda sostiene una perla brillante cuya luz es capaz de iluminar toda

existencia, alejándola del dolor.

Práctica

Vamos a imaginar a Ksitigarbha enfrente de nosotros. Lo invocamos, solicitamos su presencia.

Vamos a rogarle a Ksitigarbha que nos libere de todos nuestros sufrimientos, de todos nuestros obstáculos y problemas, de todas las obstrucciones que se nos presentan en

nuestro sendero espiritual. Vamos a repetir 21 veces el mantra corto de Ksitigarbha

Mantras en sanskrito (elige uno de los tres y repítelo 21 veces)

Om Ha Ha Ha Vismaye Svaha

Om Ha Ha Ha Om Sambhodhi Soha

Om Ksitgarbha Bodhisattva yah

Om Ah Kshiti Garbha Thaleng Hum

Vamos ahora a solicitar a Ksitigarbha que libere del sufrimiento a todos los seres de los tres reinos inferiores con los que tenemos deudas kármicas de esta y de otras vidas. Igualmente

vamos a solicitarle libere del sufrimiento a aquellos con los cuáles hemos tenido lazos consanguíneos, especialmente a todas nuestras madres y padres de ésta y de otras vidas y

aquellos que han sido nuestros maestros y guías espirituales.

Vamos a pedirle a Ksitigarbha que libere del sufrimiento a todos los seres que habitan en este mundo y que les despeje el camino hacia el desarrollo de su espiritualidad, para beneficio de

ellos y de los demás seres.

Finalmente vamos a agradecer a Ksitigharba por su valor, por su bondad, por su compasión y por su resolución de no alcanzar el estado de Buda hasta la llegada de Maitreya, para

ayudarnos a todos los seres hundidos en los seis destinos del Samsara, consagrándose en especial a los que sufren en los infiernos y esforzándose en aligerarles del fardo del karma.

Vamos a agradecer a los cinco budas que auxilian a Ksitigarbha en su tarea, especialmente de liberar a los fantasmas hambrientos: el Buda Vairocana, el Buda Aksobhya, el Buda

Ratnasambhava, el Buda Amitabha y el Buda Amogasiddhi.

Que todos los beneficios, cualidades y potenciales alcanzados y desarrollados por medio de esta práctica sea de beneficio y bienestar para todos los seres, que todos los seres del

Samsara estén bien, felices y en paz, que los maestros tengan larga vida y no pierdan su disposición de enseñar y que nosotros podamos alcanzar la iluminación en beneficio nuestro

y de todos los seres.

Que así sea.

The Practice of Ksitigarbha to Avert Danger and Purify Obstacles

By Lama Zopa Rinpoche A practice in relation to Ksitigarbha was given to George

Propps in Ft. Myers, Florida, in September last year. He had written to Rinpoche to request a practice to help avert the

danger of Hurricane Georges, threatening parts of Florida at the time. Having done the practice, and others, recommended

by Rinpoche (below) he wrote the following: “The National Weather Bureau had issued warnings that the

hurricane was going to hit Key West, Florida, and the predictions were that it would travel straight up the coast of

Florida, hitting all of the cities on the west coast and throughout the middle of Florida.

“I requested your help for the many sentient beings in Florida…

“I did as you instructed, and several times each day I did the practices. I knew, all along, that what I was doing would be of

little help to Florida, but what you were doing would save Florida.

“The next day, the path of the hurricane took a 90-degree turn out to sea and completely missed Florida. I continued doing the practice just in case that it decided to come back. The

path of the hurricane continued out to sea and finally came on shore in the Louisiana area of the gulf, with a lot less damage

than if it had come up the west coast of Florida. “It was very clear to me that what you had done was to save

many sentient beings that were in the path of this bad hurricane. Thank you very much for saving Florida.”

THE PRACTICEIt is good to recite daily the Sutra Prayer [after the mantra]

praised by Buddha to Ksitigarbha and the Prayer that I have added [below]. Sometimes you may recite the long praise to Ksitigarbha explained by Buddha [yet to be translated into

English] along with the Prayer, if you can.

Prayer:I prostate, go for Refuge, make offerings, please grant

blessings. The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, who has unbearable compassion for me and all sentient beings (whose minds are obscure and who are suffering), who has qualities like the sky and liberates sentient beings from all the sufferings and gives

all the happiness. (Recite three times.)

With hands folded in prostration, you can visualize doing the prostrations to all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas; the saying of the word “prostration” becomes prostration. When you say the

word “Refuge,” think that you are asking to be free from the two obscurations (to be able to achieve enlightenment). When you say the word “offering,” you think that all the offerings that

you have are then offered. When you ask for blessings, you think in your mind that the whole path to enlightenment is the

blessing to be received.

THE MANTRAThis is the mantra that Ksitigarbha heard from Buddhas

equaling the number of sand grains of the river Ganga. He made offerings to them and then received this mantra. (This is

the story of the mantra, to receive all of the benefits.) This mantra is to be used for any difficulties, problems; it is the best one to do for any problems in any situation. Even reciting four or five times, just a few times, it is very powerful. It is powerful

to recite or just to think of the name of the Bodhisattva. It is very, very powerful. (The extensive benefits of this mantra will

be translated.)

Short Mantra:OM AH KSHITI GARBHA THALENG HUM

PRAISE BY BUDDHA TO KSITIGARBHA You have generated stability of thought and pure thought

[altruism/bodhicitta] and eliminated the sufferings of immeasurable sentient being. I see [sentient beings] receiving happiness like the wish-granting jewel, and like the vajra you

cut the nets of doubt [of others]. You offer the Destroyer, Qualified-Gone-Beyond-Ones holy offerings with great

compassionate thought and perseverances. You liberate the sentient beings from the sufferings with oceans of wisdom.

Because you have no fear [delusions], you have gone beyond samsara.

This is especially beneficial for those who have heavy problems, serious healthy problems, big projects or financial difficulties. I will suggest that it is extremely powerful to recite every day, at least four or five times or more, depending on

how crucial [the problem] is; also, for protection. Even to grow crops well and to protect land and crops. It explains in the

Sutra the extensive benefits and qualities, like the sky, of the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha; like skies of benefit to all beings. There have been experiences, similar benefits received by

those who practice Ksitigarbha.

This practice was translated, compiled and checked by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and dictated to Ven. Thubten Nyingje on June 30, 1998 in Madison, Wisconsin, and was revised April 5, 1999

in Aptos, California.

The Tibetan version of the Sutra of Ksitigarbha has yet to be translated. 

Five Reasons for Being Born into PovertyFrom The Sutra of the Past Vows of Earth Store Bodhisattva,

Ksitigarbha

Moreover, Universally Expansive, in the future, lowly people, bondsmen, serving maids and others who are not independent may be aware of their past needs and wish to repent of them and to reform. They should gaze at and worship Earth Store Bodhisattva’s image with a sincere heart for seven days and recite his name a full ten thousand times. When their current retribution ends they will be born into wealth and honor, and

throughout thousands of tens of thousands of lives they will not pass through any of the sufferings of the Three Evil Paths.

CommentaryThere are five basic reasons for people being born into

poverty. The first of these is arrogance, particularly toward one’s

parents. The second is obstinacy, that is, refusing to listen to teachers

and elders. The third is lack of diligence in honoring the Triple Gem.

The fourth is thievery. The fifth reason for being born into poverty is accumulation of

unpaid debts. Although money is false and empty, it cannot be used casually and wasted. To borrow money and not repay it, thinking that you have no obligation because money is of no

true importance, will lead to rebirth as a servile and poor person.

There are also five causes that lead to rebirth in wealthy and honorable families.

The first of these is compassionate giving. The second is respect for parents and teachers. It is totally wrong for people to talk about how they hate their parents, how their parents restrict and hamper them, and how their parents are stupid. It is also wrong to bow to a master and then talk about him behind his back. Treating parents and

teachers this way is to commit offenses that make it impossible to be reborn in a good family.

The third cause of birth into wealth and honor is worship of the Triple Gem.

The fourth is patience and lack of anger. When one is scolded, the best thing is to be happy, pleased and not in the least

upset. This is a difficult undertaking, for it is not always easy to be patient and to be polite to everyone.

The fifth cause is listening to sutras and vinaya, which is to say, attending lectures on sutras and studying and practicing

the moral precepts. While the ideal is to have all five virtues, the practice of even

one will keep you from being born in a servile and lowly position.
