By Dr. Uthayasooriya Amarasena

Preface
In a world filled with noise, distraction, and uncertainty, the search for inner stillness has never been more urgent. Across cultures and centuries, seekers of wisdom have turned to sacred chants, meditative silence, and the profound philosophy of Buddhism to anchor themselves in truth. But what makes these practices effective? How does sound, silence, and mindfulness transform the mind and body-not just spiritually, but scientifically?
This book is an exploration-a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern research, between the deep vibrational power of Buddhist mantras and the neurological benefits of stillness. Rooted in tradition yet supported by neuroscience, Sacred Vibrations & Stillness presents a complete guide to the transformative art of chanting and meditation. From the awakening of Siddhartha Gautama to EEG studies on the meditative brain, from the resonant syllables of Om Mani Padme Hum to real-life testimonials of healing through practice, this book brings together philosophy, experience, and evidence in one immersive journey.
Whether you are new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, whether you seek spiritual connection or scientific validation, these pages invite you to explore the profound harmony between sound and silence. May this work serve as both a guide and an inspiration, encouraging you to deepen your practice, refine your understanding, and uncover the limitless wisdom within.
Introduction
Throughout human history, the search for inner peace, healing, and enlightenment has led seekers across diverse traditions to embrace practices of sound and silence. In Buddhism, sacred mantras and meditative stillness are revered as pathways to awakening-guiding practitioners toward deeper awareness, emotional resilience, and a profound connection with existence itself.
But how do these ancient methods work? What makes Buddhist chanting effective? How does silence rewire the brain for clarity and insight? In recent years, modern science has begun to validate what practitioners have known for centuries-revealing the neurophysiological effects of mantras, the cognitive benefits of meditation, and the transformative power of mindful awareness.

This book is not just a guide to spiritual practice; it is an invitation to explore the rich intersection between sacred wisdom and scientific discovery. Rooted in historical traditions yet supported by modern research, Sacred Vibrations & Stillness offers a complete journey into the world of Buddhist mantras and meditation.
From the foundational teachings of Siddhartha Gautama to real-life stories of healing through chanting, from EEG studies measuring the impact of meditation to practical techniques for daily practice, this work bridges philosophy, experience, and empirical evidence. Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned practitioner, this book seeks to illuminate the profound harmony between sound and silence-offering insights that inspire transformation, healing, and spiritual growth.
