During a crisis like this historic 8.9 earthquake and tsunami in Japan – all across the world Buddhist monasteries are waking up and going into emergency meditation and chanting right now ~ They are in meditation, chanting for the lost souls and families that have been affected~
There are several Buddhist temples where I live and all are welcome to join in the meditations and chants – Buddhist or non-Buddhist, no need to think in terms of labels for we are all of the divine spirit realm~
There is a simple meditation chant that Johannes/Sevara has shared with all on Divine Earth in the past, sort of like a prayer that one can begin to chant and join in the universal chant for the hurt and lost souls. It’s like chanting Om Mani Padme Hum ~
The mantra is the Medicine Buddha which is chanted for devastation like what just happened and on going events ~ The mantra is “Tayata Om Bekanze Bekanze Maha BeKanze Radza Samudgate Soha”~
Chanting this mantra throughout the day is a way to send our thoughts and prayers to the many that are hurt now and many to come ~ May the Medicine Buddha protect all and nurture those lost and hurting victims of this horrendous natural disaster ~ Divinely ~ Coralina ~
The words to the mantra ~

What a beautiful mantra for such a time right now — the people of Japan need lots of healing energy during this troubled time ~ Thank you Coralinni for sharing this with all of us ~
I will be sending my prayers as well here – may there be healing light for those affected — Blessings ~
I will share more of my thoughts in a later post ~
Hello Coralina! Thank you for posting this most beautiful mantra! It is so appropriate to the situation at hand. It feels wonderful just to read the words. I have no doubt that all the prayers, mantras, and meditations being done on behalf of those who have been impacted (or will be) by this natural disaster. Those who lose their lives in such disasters almost always are given special assistance to help in Transitioning the Spirit back into Soul Essence. The positive and Loving energies we send to them makes it much easier for them to Heal from their traumas.
We should also remember those who lost their lives in other recent earthquakes – such as the one in Christchurch, NZ, those in Chile and Mexico, and other places around the world. The earthquake activity has been quite busy lately. And, of course, Haiti is still trying to recover from the quake they had a year ago.
One little miracle I read about today that happened in Japan is a true bright spot in all this disastrous news. A four-month old baby girl was found alive after being torn from her parents’ arms during the tsunami. The family has been reunited and the baby is fine. 😀
Thank you again, Coralina, for posting this mantra for us all to join in.
I think it’s beautiful how just as people all across the world are uniting in prayer and meditation, we too are uniting here on DE in the spirit of love, peace, compassion and unity. This is a very lovely mantra Coralina…thank you so much for sharing this divine chant with all.
Huge hug to each and every one of you…have a blissful nite.
With love,
Irma
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and joining the divine blue light of the Medicine Buddha of healing ~
What happened to Japan just shows how suddenly and drastically lives can be forever changed in one day ..So may this vibrational chant touch those many shattered lives and lost souls of this tragedy ~
Thank you, Mia, for sharing the uplifting story of the child that was found alive against the odds of the disaster ~ Yes, I have heard some amazing stories of survival come out of this crisis .. I saw a video of the rescue of three Tsunami victims who were trapped in their car for several days ~ The tidal wave swept away their car with them trapped inside by the debris and mud surrounding their car ~
Despite the emergency conditions in the affected areas, I have heard of no civil unrest ..and I meditate for the safety of the nuclear plant workers that remain in the dangerously damaged plants – risking their lives for all ~
May our healing thoughts and energies comfort Mother Earth with our love~ Coralina ~
