Guru Cule Mother Buddha Heart Mantra
Guru Cule Mother Buddha Heart Mantra (also known as the Mantra of the Mother Buddha of Enlightened Speech) has its fundamental source in the Chinese Buddhist canon in Volume 3 of the Ritual Manual Sutra of the Great Teaching King of Vajra, the Great Compassionate Emptiness Wisdom, translated by Master Fahu of the Song Dynasty (corresponding to the Tibetan Buddhist Hevajra Tantra).
Scriptural Record and Comparison
- Chinese Buddhist literature: In the Ritual Manual Sutra of the Great Teaching King of Vajra, the Great Compassionate Emptiness Wisdom, this deity is called “Kula Bodhisattva”. The pronunciation of the mantra recorded in the sutra and its Sanskrit content are exactly the Guru Cule Mother Buddha Heart Mantra widely recited in modern Tibetan esoteric practice.
- Tibetan Buddhist lineage: In Tibetan Buddhism, this deity is called “Kurukulle” (Tibetan: ཀུ་རུ་ཀུ་ལླེ་, Wylie transliteration: ku ru ku lle, transliterated as Guru Cule). She is an extremely important deity of “attraction” and “vow-keeping” in Tibetan Buddhism, listed among the Sakya school’s “Thirteen Golden Dharmas,” and is also widely included in sadhana collections and ritual manuals of the Nyingma, Kagyu, and other schools.
Three core major effects:

- Resolve karmic enmities and negative affinities: Eliminate others’ hostility, jealousy, and gossip toward you, transforming bad karmic ties into good and favorable ones.
- Increase power, authority, and majesty: Possesses the power to win people’s hearts, making subordinates obey and superiors value you; it is highly suited to the authority needed by managers, leaders, salespeople, or public figures.
