To all those who are confused ☺ Since I am a Buddhist and I know this is a our mantra and we recite this for the long live and peaceful within self and for the country 😄 But she has made it like a song which really amazed me 😍
For people who keep complaining that this is not real Sanskrit, bear in mind this is a Mahayana Buddhist mantra (specifically the "100-Syllable Vajrasattva Mantra") - Buddhists all over East Asia (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Tibet) have been transliterating Sanskrit Buddhist mantras into sounds/syllables as closely approaching those of their own languages as possible for centuries. The recitation of the mantras in this way is believed to be efficacious regardless. Without Buddhists in these countries preserving the sacred Sanskrit writings/mantras/dharanis, they would have long gone extinct, as Buddhism itself declined and died out in India for various reasons (including the invasion of Moslems). [The Pali scriptures were preserved by the Sri Lankans, Burmese, Thai, Laotian and Cambodians.]
Devlin Tay but Buddhism is still practiced in India and our vedas and scriptures were mostly in sanskrit which is still taught here... So in conclusion it will not be wrong if you include India too...
Buddhist scriptures are in pali not sanskrit...there is a good difference between both...i believe the singer nailed it....pronunciations would differ depending on the geograpgic location
Otaku hunter Buddhism was never a mainstream religion in India, keeping in mind the population. Secondly talking about sanskrit or hindi today's youth is only fascinated towards English all over the world. But we do have practitioners of sanskrit whose count remain small. It's not about optimism but stats, in order to see that one needs to visit different places, net doesn't provide that much authentic info...
to those who are confused about the language, this is sanskrit, she's singing exactly how a non hindi speaker would sing ,isnt that obvious. What i can decipher from the music is appreciation of the long lost traditions by us talented asians. I see preservation of the india's ancient language(sanskrit), the twist tunes of carnatic music/tibetan music/mongol, chinese pronunciation and a whole lot of creativity for the love of music, its a fusion tribute. here is the original, try to sing , even you wont perfect it combining the tunes and rhythm. Oṃ Vajra-sattva-samaya mānupālaya Vajra-sattvatvena Upatiṣṭhadṛḍho me bhava Sutoṣyo me bhava Supoṣyo me bhava Anurakto me bhava Sarva-siddhiṃ me prayaccha Sarva-karmasu ca me citta- śreyaḥ kuru Hūṃ Ha ha ha ha hoḥ Bhagavan sarva-tathāgata vajra mā me muñca Vajri bhava mahā-samaya- sattva āḥ
burh (-_-) fk dude! Sanskrit is the only language which is pronounced the same irrespective of which part it is spoken..their is nothing like "non-hindi"..quit your political third class propaganda.
To the Sanskrit purists who complain that her pronunciation is not "correct" Sanskrit, here's a little story for you: There was monk who chanted repeatedly on his journey. One day, he met a scholar who specialized in Sanskrit next to the lake. The scholar then point out there was a wrong pronunciation in the monk's chanting. The monk was surprised about that, and happily corrected his mistake. After showing his appreciation to the scholar, the monk then continued his journey by walking across the lake. The scholar was so shock by this view. He then thought "It's not me, but you, who has more understanding of the power of Sanskrit compared to us all".

@latte toto, thank you for adding the mantra. Vajra Pani 100 syllable mantra. We can start the prayer with Om Vajra satto samaya Or Om Benza satto samaya Either one. They both works the same. Also I was taught to when reciting a mantra or copying we should always do it by the odd numbers. Like 1,3,5,7 a d so on.. Please forgive my ignorance should I offended you in anyway. My most sincere apologies. When I read you comment. I thought you might think that miss Sa ding ding missed pronounce the mantra. And I felt the need to share this dharma with you. Om Benza satto humg
Beautiful! I saw Sa Dingding perform live here in Ireland during the World Culture Festival in Dun Laoghaire a few years back. She is incredibly gifted and gorgeous to watch, singing in Tibetan, Chinese, Mongolian, Sanskrit and what appears to be her own shamanic language.
even if its not in sanskrit we hindu know but still song has love affection and a story line plus beautiful voice with great music.Greetings from India.
Nivedita Ramakrishnan What?? maine galat kya kaha hai??Most Indians here have same view though some are saying this is Tibet region Sanskrit in Chinese accent if so it is also lovely to ears.
Nivedita Ramakrishnan it is sanskrit, sanskrit flew from india to tibet and tibetans used sanskrit for their mantras...btw it's vajrasattva mantra related to vajra family of buddha
This is indeed Sanskrit with Tibetan/Han Chinese pronounciation! Sanskrit is the only thing that unifies the two neighbouring rival nations - India and China!
ॐ वज्रसत्त्व समय मनुपालय वज्रसत्त्वत्वेनोपतिष्ठ दृढो मे भव सुतोष्यो मे भव सुपोष्यो मे भव अनुरक्तो मे भव सर्वसिद्धिं मे प्रयच्छ सर्वकर्मसु च मे चित्तं श्रियं कुरु हूं ह ह ह ह होः भगवं सर्वतथागत वज्र मा मे मुञ्च वज्रि भव महासमय सत्त्व आः हूं फट्
It is composed by the Chinese singer songwriter Sa Dingding. It's Sanskrit mantra but pronounced in the Tibetan dialect. The subtitles are syllables written in Chinese Pinyin, so that chinese people can easily learn to pronounce this mantra. 🙂
Many are confused. But this is definitely TIBETAN pronunciation of the "100 syllables mantra of Buddha Vajrasattva". I personally practiced this mantra. Reason its not Sanskrit but Tibetan is the pronunciation. Example, Sanskrit pronunciation is "vajra" (meaning thunderbolt), but Tibetan pronunciation of "vajra" is "benza" or sometimes "bajra" or "benjra" (depending on the location as different parts of Tibet has different pronunciation). Wishing you happiness! Om Mani Padme Hum
תמיר נחמיאס On Alive, Sa Dingding sings in Mandarin, Sanskrit, Tibetan, the nearly extinct Laghu language and an imaginary self-created language to evoke the emotions in her songs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alive_(Sa_Dingding_album)
the lyric of the song is translated "The One Hundred Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva" (Sanskrit to Tibetan).So, her pronunciation is more like Chinese accent Tibetan.
Từ bài hát trong phim hương mật tựa khói sương , phát hiện ra bà ca sỹ này, xem lui xem tới thấy bả có 1 vai trong phim nữa chứ . Đóng cũng rất Ok . Mò ra được cái Vevo này cũng phục mình ghê . Nhạc bả thấy khác nhạc thị trường quá . Thi thoảng căng thẳng quá nghe nhạc bả cũng tốt. Cảm ơn .
Though the theme is more related to Chinese and it is also not purely Sanskrit.. But the theme is matching pretty much the Sankritic time period for me!! And the sound including sound of her voice is giving the same flavour what I always thought of that time period whenever I read anything about that period..
I am an Indian who can read write and speak sanskrit, and I couldn't find any sanskrit in the song except perhaps the beginning!! but i could point out many commonly used sanskrit words. However the tune is mesmerizing. It looks more like a Sanskrit song translated to chinese keeping the original tune and giving it a chinese mix.
This is “hundred” times better than the Mandarin version… The “Sa Dingding Alive Tibetan Version” I used to listen to was taken down but good thing this “Buddhist” version has the same lyrics..
@@nehaanand3406 this song is actually alot harder than upwards to the moon upwards to the moon is mostly about high (really high ) notes and she adds some opera and specially chinese opera in the song wich makes it impressive But this song is a different story These techniques and this voice control is literally inhuman
This is a kind of Sinified sanskrit. The sounds of Sanskrit have been approximated using Chinese words/characters and then sung. Its sounds strange and unintelligible, but this is the way things are done in Chinese. I once went to a Catholic church in Beijing and they do the same thing with Latin. Its completely unintelligible to anyone else, but is the closest you can get with the Chinese language.
Đây không chỉ là một bài hát mà là bài chú tiếng Phạn nhé mọi người. Sanskrit là tiếng Phạn còn Mantra là thần chú. Bạn nào theo đạo Phật sẽ biết bài chú Đại Bi, đây cũng là một bài chú tương tự như vậy.
