The Heart Surta

1. Get in a comfortable meditation position. Place your left hand over your right hand (males-right over left), palms up, thumbs touching, in front of you as if you are cradling your heart chakra or your chi center (just below your navel)

2. Generate the intention that your heart & mind are now calmer & will become perfectly calm as you chant the Mantra. Chant the Heart Sutra nine times:
Gate Gate, Para Gate, Para Sam Gate, Bodhi Swaha


3. SHORT-Visualize that you are in front of a Buddha or bathed in the Buddha’s light.

LONG-Visualize a pink lotus flower in your heart, inside the lotus is the Deity of your heart.
The Deity of pure radiant light rises above you and enters through your crown chakra, gently settling into the heart chakra. The image gradually enlarges, as it fills your body you & the Deity become one. The Deity's wisdom fills your head, the compassion fills your heart & the spiritually fills your soul. The Pure Light shines out through you, to the Six Realms, then returns brighter. Then to your spiritual teachers (past present & future), then returns to you even brighter. Now you send the loving energy to your family & friends, community, allowing it flow beyond, embracing the universe in pure loving light, as you feel the warmth as it comes back to shine on you, through you, within you.

Mantra:
Gate Gate, Para Gate, Para Sam Gate , Bodhi Swaha

Meaning of the Mantra; Gone Gone, Gone Beyond, Gone Far Beyond, Inner Buddha & So It Is!

Sitting in silence the minds eye travels beyond infinity to the center of the true source, PURE LOVE
