Sakyamuni's Mantra

This mantra from India is not one of the secret mantras, it is completely open and exoteric. "Muni" means "prince", so the Buddha was known as Prince of the Sakyas, among other names. Here is the mantra:

OM MUNI MUNI

MAHA MUNI

SAKYAMUNI

SVAHA

But when some Americans first heard this mantra, directly from a native of India, they didn't quite catch the pronunciation correctly, and the mantra they subsequently transmitted, still widely heard in America today, though having lost its relation to the Dharma, is:

OM MONEY MONEY

MAHA MONEY

SOCKIT TO ME

SVAHA
