Om Vajrapani Hayagriva Garuda Hum Phat 2021
The mantra "Om Vajrapani Hayagriva Garuda Hum Phat" is a powerful invocation used in Tibetan Buddhism to call upon the Three Wrathful Ones (Ta-Chag-Khyung-Sum). This combined practice is specifically designed for protection, purification, and the removal of deep-seated obstacles. The Three Wrathful Ones
HAYAGRIVA (The Horse-Necked One)
- Archetype: The power of primal, joyful wrath.
- Essence: Hayagriva is the fierce manifestation of Amitabha Buddha (the Buddha of Limitless Light). His crown contains a small green horse’s head that neighs—a sound said to pierce through all dualistic concepts and proclaim the victory of the Dharma.
- Deep Meaning: Where Vajrapani breaks, Hayagriva devours. He is depicted consuming the serpent of ego and the poisons of desire. His neigh is the ecstatic laughter of the enlightened mind that sees through the drama of samsara. Invoking Hayagriva burns up attachment to the body as “mine” and transforms raw neurotic energy into the fuel of awakening. He is the remedy for the plague of self-cherishing.
- Do not chant with hatred. If you chant this to "kill" an enemy, it will backfire and transform into your own suffering. The wrath is directed at ignorance, not persons.
- Avoid reciting near innocent animals or young children loudly. The explosive Phat can be startling. Use a mental whisper instead.
- If you have a gentle, pacifying nature, balance this practice with Chenrezig (Om Mani Padme Hum). Too much wrath without compassion leads to mental imbalance (paranoia, aggression).
- Do not sell this mantra. Never charge money for this transmission. It is a treasure given freely for the end of suffering.
