One Million Mani Mantras

For the benefit of His Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa, his three heart sons, His Eminenence Tai Situ Rinpoche, His Eminence Goshir Gyaltsap Rinpoche, & his Eminence Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche & the Kagyu lamas including Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, we are accumulating and dedicating OM Mani Padme Hum mantras. Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche's request is that each practitioner count the mantras at any time during or outside of formal practice with mindfulness, generating bodhichitta by recollecting the suffering of all beings & wishing for them to obtain liberation. KTD has invited all the KTC & KKSG centers to join their aspiration to achieve one million mantras by July 21, 2012. You can report your totals to tampaktc@gmail.com
