Great Wisdom Mantra

'Heart of the Great Wisdom' Mantra is no more than this:

O'oM
aum

GATE - GATE - PA - RA - GATE - PA- -RA- SAM - GATE - BODHI
gah-tay - gah-tay - pa ra gah-tay - - pa ra sam gah-tay - bo-dee

SVAHA
swah-ha

In Sanskrit, GATE (pronounced jaw-tay*) literally means gone, but it also means realize or understand. BODHI (pronounced bo-dee) means illuminate, enlighten, or awaken. So there are 3 x 3 possibilities. MORE

*G as in George or Geoffrey (Chaucer)
