Manjushri Mantra Accumulations

We have the opportunity to join our voices and intentions together through chanting the Manjushri mantra for the benefit of all beings:

OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI

Manjushri’s sword of wisdom cuts all the sprouts of suffering. May we visualize this and heal the wounds of the planet and all lifeforms inhabiting it. We have the goal of 500,000 repetitions though our combined voices.

Remember to report your accumulations at the Dharma Center or via email through our website:
