NAMO TASSO BHAGAVATO ARAHATO SAMMASAMBUDDHASSA


NAMO TASSO BHAGAVATO ARAHATO SAMMASAMBUDDHASSA

Namah (Sanskrit). In Pali Namo. The first word of a daily invocation among Buddhists, meaning "I humbly trust, or adore, or acknowledge" the Lord; as: "Namo tasso Bhagavato Arahato" etc., addressed to Lord Buddha. The priests are called "Masters of Namah" - both Buddhist and Taoist, because this word is used in liturgy and prayers, in the invocation of the Triratna (q.v.), and with a slight change in the occult incantations to the Bodhisvattvas and Nirmanakayas.
