Translations:Golden Mantra/29/en

Buddhists believe that Padma Sambhava’s mantra has the power to vanquish the “five poisons,” which are the antithesis of the wisdoms of the Dhyani Buddhas. The devotee seeks to be conferred with these wisdoms because they will give him the ability to transmute the five poisons. The five poisons are the obstacles to his spiritual progress and to his realization of Buddhahood.
