Om Mani Pad Me Hung
108,000
Recitation Campaign
Prayer for the quake victims and world peace
Introduction
The six syllables OM MANI PADME HUNG is the essence of the Dharma. The mantra speaks of “the loving actions of body, loving actions of speech and loving actions of mind”.
If one recites the mantra OM MANI PADME HUNG constantly, one will develop loving kindness and compassion towards all the sentient beings. If we recite the mantra together, the joint effort will produce positive energy and that energy will transform our living environment and the world to be a better place.
The Om Mani Padme Hung 108,000 Recitation Campaign is initiated by His Holiness the Drikung Chetsang Tinle Lundrup of Drikung Kagyu Lineage (www.drikung.org), and fully supported by a non-profit-campaigner, Rainbow of Life Forces (www.rolfcommunity.org).
