Mantras are a collection of mystical syllables that are chanted, often in meditation.
~Mantra to Purify Karma, and Help the Sick and the Dead
Usnisa Vijaya Dharani Sutra
This mantra is supposed to prevent anyone who sees or hears it from being reborn into any of the lower realms.
~Mantra to chant when you are experiencing mental or physical suffering
NAMO BHAGAVATE BHAISAJAYA-GURU-VAIDURYA-PRABHA-RAJAYA TATHAGATAYA ARHATE SAMYAKSAMBUDDHAYA TADYATHA OM BHAISAJYE BHAISAJYE BHAISAJYA SAMUDGATE SVAHA.
Translation:
"The Master of Healing, the Lapis Lazuli Radiance Tathagata, Arhat, Perfectly Enlightened One, O Healer, Healer, Supreme Healer."
~May all beings be well/happy
Sabbe sattaa sukhi hontu
Sabbe = all
Sattaa = beings
Sukhi = well/happy
Hontu = may they be
This is not a mantra, but a Pali phrase that is to be chanted as if it were a mantra.
