Mantra-thon for World Peace & Healing

Those of all paths and religious orientation are invited to join the 7th Annual Mantra-thon for World Peace and Healing.
Our Sacred World is undergoing tremendous upheaval, violence and the greatest environmental challenges in human history.
In this light, a prayer vigil based on the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, the mantra of the Buddha of Compassion, Chenreizig, will begin on Lha Bab Duchen, the day celebrating the Buddha’s Descent from Heaven, a very auspicious and powerful holy day. Our goal is to collectively recite at least 1 Million mantras in the course of the event, dedicated to peace and healing in the world.
Led by Tulku Orgyen Phutsok Rinpoche of the Odiyana Institute, this mantra is well known and will be at times sung or recited silently throughout the weekend. The recitation of mantras can lead to great transformation, personal and global.
• Participants are requested to maintain an atmosphere of Noble Silence in the hall between sessions. Whispering is acceptable and mantra recitation is encouraged.
• A vegetarian diet is encouraged during the retreat, but not required.
Donations will be gratefully accepted.
May all beings benefit.
