Introduction

Shakyamuni Buddha

Siddhartha Gautama (or Gotama) – a prince borne in 500 B.C. (present is at Lumbini, Nepal) who seeks for the answers of birth, old age, sickness and death at the age of 19 and left his royal kingdom life with renunciation into ascetic life.

According to Buddhism, he achieves enlightenment at the age of 36 and everyone named him as “Shakyamuni Buddha”. He then starts his teaching “the path to awakening” for 49 years until in Nirvana.

Both Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism revere “Shakyamuni Buddha” as the primary teacher.

Vajrasattva Bodhisattva

The “Hundred Syllable Mantra” of Vajrasattva is the king of mantras, representing the mantra of emptiness. This mantra should be recited at least one hundred thousand times.

The “Hundred Syllable Mantra” of Vajrasattva can purify all accumulated negative karma since beginningless time, making the practitioner’s vows as unshakeable as a diamond.

Therefore, when we recite “Hundred Syllable Mantra” of Vajrasattva, it represents a complete realization of emptiness. Sometimes, when we practice repentance, reciting the “Hundred Syllable Mantra” helps manifest the fullness of our emptiness, symbolizing completeness.

The “Hundred Syllable Mantra” of Vajrasattva is extremely important; it is the “mind” emanated by Vajrasattva himself, which is equivalent to Buddha-nature.
