This is the mantra of Sherap Chamma, the wisdom loving mother of the Bönpo tradition. She is beautiful and golden in color adorned with the 13 ornaments of a peaceful deity. She holds a vase in her right hand at her heart filled with the nectar of compassion. Her left hand is raised and holds a lotus blossom upon which rests the mirror of wisdom which reveals all passing phenomena as empty of inherent existence. She embodies the two-fold wisdom of emptiness and skillful means.            While it is certainly wonderful and important to sit, I'd also encourage you to bring the mantra into your everyday life and activities. The connection between the cushion and our daily lives is the most valuable I know of.
