Thank you for your encouragement! Bodhichitta has super powers! I have really enjoyed the Tibetan mantra Oh Ah Hum Benza Guru Padma Siddhi Om. I feel like it's about the flash of emotion, the awareness, the bodhichitta, and the awakening. It's a cycle we go through multiple times a day where we can learn to transmute everything to compassion.

This mantra is very good, helping us to receive great blessings. It's something I chant every day; however, I am more inclined to pronounce it in the Sanskrit way. Rigpa Wiki explains it a bit more:

Vajra Guru mantra — the twelve syllable mantra of Guru Padmasambhava is:

oṃ āḥ hūṃ vajra guru padma siddhi hūṃ

It is pronounced om ah hung benza guru péma siddhi hung by Tibetans.
