Dechen Choekhor’s Saga Dawa Guru Pema

Hundred-Million Mantra Recitation Practice

for Worldwide Participants
(June 1st, 2020 – May 20th, 2021)

For those who have a strong and sincere wish to benefit self and other, Rinpoche
highly encourages everyone to complete a specific number of recitations within
the stipulated period. This is to fulfill the basic requirement of mantra recitation
according to the Vajrayana teaching. The required number for this mantra is
1,200,000 (1.2 million recitation), i.e.: 3,500 per day. Participants can select any
of the categories based on their own time and commitment. No matter how many
you promise to recite, as long as you sincerely participate in the joint practice,
every participant will eventually attain the merit of the 100 million recitation.
Therefore, Rinpoche deeply wishes that everyone can actively participate in this
Hundred-Million joint recitation, which is very auspicious and especially blessful.
