Dorje Shugden - Mantra

Mantra

Dorje Shugden has two mantras: OM VAJRA WIKI WITRANA SOHA and OM DHARMAPALA MAHA RANDZA BENDZA BEGAWAN RUDRA PENJA KULA SARWA SHA TRUM MARAYA HUM PHAT.

The two mantras in Tibetan writing: ཨོཾ་བཛྲ་བི་ཀི་བིཊྞ་སྭཱཧཱ། and ཨོཾ་དྷརྨ་པཱ་ལ་མཧཱ་རཱ་ཛ་བཛྲ་བེ་ག་ཝན་རུ་དྲཿཔཉྩ་ཀཱུ་ལ་སརྦ་ཤ་ཏྲཱུཾ་མཱ་ར་ཡ་ཧཱུཾ་ཕཊ།

In the long mantra, OM DHARMAPALA MAHA RANDZA refers to Dorje Shugden's name: DHARMAPALA means "Dharma Protector," and MAHA RANDZA means "Great King." BENDZA BEGAWAN RUDRA means "Dorje Shugdan," and PENJA KULA SARWA SHA TRUM MARAYA HUM PHAT means “Please grant me attainments.”

In OM VAJRA WIKI WITRANA SOHA, OM refers to the outer aspect of Dorje Shugdan, which is his wearing ordained robes and so on and is temporary. One function of OM is also calling Dorje Shugdan “O, Dorje Shugdan”. VAJRA refers to the real nature of Dorje Shugdan. The meaning of VAJRA is the union of the great bliss and emptiness of Je Tsongkhapa and of all Buddhas. Je Tsongkhapa’s realization of the union of great bliss and emptiness appears in the aspect of Dorje Shugdan. The five Sanskrit letters WIKI WITRANA symbolize the five attainments: pacifying, increasing, controlling, wrathful and supreme. SOHA means "Please bestow." The whole mantra therefore means: “O Dorje Shugdan, please bestow the pacifying, increasing, controlling, wrathful, and supreme attainments.”
