There is a difference. When people chant Guanyin’s name, they usually just chant the name. I have never seen people chant Guanyin’s name using an esoteric chanting method. You will attain blessings if you chant sincerely.
Chanting The Six-Syllable Mantra requires a more profound method. It is an esoteric Buddhadharma meditation. The esoteric Buddhadharma is different from ordinary dharma; the esoteric Buddhadharma has its unique chants, visualizations, and some deeper meanings that I can’t convey right now.
The Six-Syllable Mantra’s chanting method which we are teaching now is only one of many chanting methods; it is only Lesson 1. This chanting method can greatly promote your self-cultivation, elevate your dharma power, strengthen your body, and develop your potential. I will teach this chanting method step by step, according to everyone’s progress.
Chanting The Six-Syllable Mantra can more effectively elevate dharma power. This is from my personal experience. When some share their opinions about self-cultivation methods, others tend to correct them, or even provide varying opinions. But this is my personal experience in self-cultivation. I shared this with all of you.
Chanting Guanyin’s name or The Six-Syllable Mantra, which one should we practice more? This depends on you. The Chinese are used to chanting Guanyin’s name. The esoteric dharma is rarely taught in China, thus few people know about it. That is why many choose the conventional meditative method. But after learning this method from me, you will experience the effectiveness of chanting The Six-Syllable Mantra. You may chant this mantra more often.
