Part 4/9:
Before beginning a practice, it’s customary to chant the Adi Mantra, "Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo," which translates to "I bow to the subtle divine wisdom; I bow to the teacher within." This mantra sets the tone for the session, encouraging practitioners to connect with both external wisdom and their inner guidance. Engaging with the mantra involves a respectful acknowledgment of the knowledge shared through the lineage while simultaneously tapping into one’s self-awareness.
