Ratnasambhava mantra complete lyrics:
Om ra tna sa mbha va tram
He is one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas (or”Five Meditation Buddhas”) of Vajrayana in Tantric Buddhism, each associated with a cardinal direction.
Ratnasambhava’s mandalas and mantras focus on developing equanimity and equality and, in Vajrayana Buddhist thought is connected with the attempt to destroy greed and pride.
His consort is Mamaki and his mount is a horse or a pair of lions. His wrathful manifestation is Gundari.
In addition, He is frequently included in his retinue is the worldly dharmapala Jambhala.
The first documented mention of Ratnasambhava Buddha is found in the Arya Suvarnaprabhasottamasutrendraraja Mahayana Sutra (Sutra of Golden Light) and in the Guhyasamaja tantra (4th Century CE), and he subsequently appears in a number of ancient Vajrayana writings.
The most elaborate account of him is to be found in the Panchakara section of the Advyavajra sangrah.
He is also mentioned as one of the Buddhas worthy of praise in the Earth Store Bodhisattva Sutra:
“Again in the past, immeasurable, incalculable kalpas ago, as many as the grains of sand in the Ganges River, there appeared in the world a Buddha bearing the title of Ratnasambhava Tathagata. Any man or woman, hearing the Buddha’s name and showing respect to him, will soon attain the stage of an Arhat.”
