Has anyone ever tried to use mantras with the audio plugins of radionic machines? I am currently playing "Om Mani Padme Hum" in loop on my Pulsar and the atmosphere in the house is very pleasant, looks like people living with me is having a good time too!
Seems like the effect is similar to chanting the mantra by myself.

The applications of this are almost endless... from manifestation to healing and spiritual evolution.

What are your experiences with radionics and mantras?

Cheers

There is a mantra, but I can't find it for free.

Mantra Shakti is the energy produced by repeating a mantra. Even just playing a mantra in a place is supposed to enhance the energy of that place. Combining it with radionics sounds like a more intense version of the traditional method.

It is a lot harder for a machine to lose concentration when repeating a mantra.

What I can't figure out is why you chose "Om Mani Padme Hum". Was it the only mantra you have access to in MP3 format? I just don't like the Dalai Lama very much and I wish he'd get out of the way and let someone who wants to lead his people do the job. Traditionally he is an embodiment of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, so it is technically his mantra, too.

Guru Rimpoche's (Padmasambhava) mantra "Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum" or Shiva's "Om Nama Shivaya" would both me more to my liking. Even the Davantrayi mantra, for the universal physician, seems better to me.

I choose Om Mani Padme Hum beacuse it connects to one of the Highest energies, so it is very cleansing and has helped me many times... This is a description of it by Ascended Master Hilarion.

Now I am experimenting with 136.1 hz frequency which someone relates to Nada Brahma or Aum. It's said that is able to restore a "balanced wholeness". It is the frequency Earth makes while orbiting around the Sun, equal to C#. More here: http://www.starseedmusic.net/harmony.html
Try to listen to it with speakers while meditating...

I've used the "HU" mantra from cybershaman as well as "AUM." I like 'em both.

What about incorporating 'binaural beats' into the mantra/radionic combination?

It could be possible to use the binaural beats to help maintain concentration of physically chanting the mantra yourself? Or incorporating an old tape-based recorder set to loop whatever sound is input into it?
A 4-track could possibly used to incorporate 1 .your voice,2. binaural beats, 3. atmosphere(room ambience), 4. sounds IN the radionic box - all into one conglomeration of sound?

Good thread!

Hmmm.... this gave me an idea to try inputing the mantra Namu Myoho Renge Kyo into my radbox, while running a trend. I'll need to find an mp3 of it and make a cd of it.

let us know how it goes!

personally I would use a different mantra for manifestation, such us OM, or something else, rather than one specific for enlightenment. But you can never know until you try...

The mantra for Green Tara is for Buddhahood, but it is supposed to grant all "lesser" accomplishments, too. I think the idea is about the same as when that guy Jesus said to "seek ye first the kingdom of heaven" because you would be also rewarded by having "all other things added unto you". Personally I prefer Green Tara, but it is nice to have unrelated sources. On the other hand, even that Jesus guy is a better pick than Nichiren. Much of the big talent in Buddhism can seem crazy and out of control, but for crazy Nichiren is the real deal.

You just have a bias against Nichiren.
Those Tibetan chants are just made up stuff when Buddhism mixed in with Bon tradions.

[TomSKinney]

Bön is a respectable religion, and a form of Shamanism. It still exists, but just as Buddhism was highly influenced by Bön, Bön was also highly influenced by Buddhism. Actually, Bön was nearly absorbed entirely into Buddhism. Dzogchen was taught alongside both as a nonsectarian school and was primarily taught in secret at night. Practitioners of Buddhism and Bön would learn Dzogchen secretly and openly they practiced their more public religion. Buddhists sent people to India to acquire texts and translate them into Tibetan. Marpa the Translator was famous for this. They brought back Sanskrit mantra as well. The problem was that it was difficult to transition the mantras to the Tibetan language and a considerable amount of breakdown resulted. The intent behind the mantra became more important than the exact pronunciation. Actually, there was a branch of Tibetan Buddhism that developed in Japan. I didn't bother learning about it. Most of the time I just pretend it doesn't exist. Zen came to Japan through China (Cha'an) which came from India (Dhyana). As far as I am concerned, Japanese Buddhism is Zen. Nichiren said he was going to find the original Buddhism and he learned Chinese. Someone forgot to tell him that Buddha was from a part of India that became Nepal. Nichiren screwed up before he even got on the boat. He didn't find what he was looking for, and he ended up making up his own Buddhism entirely and for a source he cited visions from Buddha. He went around saying that anyone who disagreed with him was wrong, and he pissed off people in authority. They were going to hang him but the execution kept going wrong. He said that the Dharma Protectors were saving him, and the executioners were superstitious enough that they just exiled him instead. The end. It should have been, anyway.

Buddhist tantra and mantras is a very interesting topic. How much of this was "revealed" and how much evolved from Hindu/Bon/Taoist systems is again interesting to study. Theravadins and even some Mahayanists totally disagree that Buddha taught any mantras or mystical practices. Most Buddhist tantras also note that Buddha taught tantra on astral planes and not earth which means mystical practices in Buddhism are possibly not associated with the historical Buddha.

Some related stuff here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here etc.

Prof. Alexis Sanderson has done vast research with many published papers on the evolution of Buddhist mantra and tantra system from the Vedic, Bon and other systems. Buddhist tantra today is a mix and match of various traditions.

As far as I know, the Heart Sutra is the only Sutra which contains a mantra. It is from the Perfection of Wisdom series. The rest are Tantra. Buddha does not speak in the Heart Sutra until the closing, when he tells everyone that they did a good job. If I can remember it ....

Tayatha Om Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Sutra

It is about emptiness of inherent existence, and all its meaning is condensed into the mantra. It includes all the stages from setting out to becoming a Buddha. The Sutra can be recited for protection, and has been used in exorcisms.

In the links I provided above, there are several Sutras, like the Sutra of the Golden light (which my teacher and Prof Sanderson have published papers on), which contain Tantric mantras, and in some cases only mantras and tantra. There are a dozen sutras which have mantras, mandalas, exorcism, subjugation of women and immortals and many other typical tantric applications. Some of these hold an attitude of violence and competition towards the Hindu pantheon from which they borrow mostly. The Buddhists generally like to remain silent on such Sutras and present metaphysical interpretations of these sutras, at the same time accusing Hindu and Taoist canon of being superficial and immersed in myth and ignorance LOL

Many sutras and dharanis get passed as Mahayanic Sutra canon and sometimes as Pali canon too, most of the time associating them with the Buddha Gotama. It is now accepted even by thinking Buddhists that this is hardly true.
