Gate, Gate (Heart Sutra Dance), from the CD, Chant

From the Buddhist tradition comes a very essential mantra referred to as the Heart Sutra. The meaning is essentially that by letting go of your preconceived notions, opinions, and attachments, you can become open to all the wonders of our life. Translated: Gate means gone. Gone from suffering to the liberation of suffering. Gone from forgetfulness to mindfulness. Gone from duality into non-duality.  Gate gate means gone, gone. Paragate means gone all the way to the other shore. So this mantra is said in a very strong way. Gone, gone, gone all the way over.  In Parasamgate sam means everyone, the sangha, the entire community of beings. Everyone gone over to the other shore. Bodhi is the light inside, enlightenment, or awakening. You see it and the vision of reality liberates you. And svaha is a cry of joy or excitement, like "Welcome!" or "Hallelujah!" "Gone, gone, gone all the way over, everyone gone to the other shore, enlightenment, svaha !"

Use this chant/mantra this week to release the old vibrations and open the heart chakra to a new higher frequency of living in the Now, unencumbered by the past  lower energies of experience. Sing it to maintain and expand in your moments of living. Go now, far beyond what was thought to be. More is what you are...
