Meaning of the chant
I take refuge in the Mother of Seventy Million Perfectly Enlightened Buddhas. Thus, it is stated as such: Oṃ! Cale Cule Cundī. May it be true!
Benefits of the chant
This mantra is a powerful mantra that depicts Cundi, a deity depicted with 18 arms. It is said that if you chant this mantra 600,000 times, you can tap into the energy of the Bodhisattva Kuan Yin or Goddess Tara. This chant is extremely useful when you are facing financial difficulties and want success in a career. This chant is even more powerful when chanted right before chanting mantras of Bodhisattva Vajrapani.
History of the chant
Although deity Cundi is not very well-known in the Buddhist tradition, she is worshipped in Tangmi, an East-Asian esoteric form of the faith. The first textual source of this mantra is found in Kāraṇḍavyūhasūtra, a sutra centered on the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara. It dates back to the 4th century.
