Mantras Are the Language of the Subconscious
A Prayer That Reaches Straight to Heart and Spirit Mantras — once a person hears them, actually they work inside your spiritual consciousness.But you don't understand them.「Not understanding」 is to keep you from thinking randomly and distorting the fact.For instance Green Tārā's mantra 「Oṃ tāre tuttāre ture svāhā」 — this is a mantra.Translated, the content is: 「May Green Tārā rescue me from the field of such human suffering, lead me toward the heaven of joy, please rescue me.」 This is a prayer.If you repeat it over and over, your soul and the subconscious of your heart will receive redemption; your heart will settle.Opening the potential is the same — speaking things you don't understand, and yet it works.So mantras are actually not mysterious — they are the language of the subconscious; this is critical.
