Mantra Accumulation for World Peace
Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche has requested that the sangha perform the sadhana of Shakyamuni Buddha, called "A Treasury of Blessings," for the sake of world peace. All of us around the world can use the form at the bottom of this page to track the number of mantras recited in the course of practicing the sadhana.
Rinpoche originally stated a goal of one million mantras. We have now at over 9 million!
Note: We've been taught that one should always practice the sadhana before performing mantras to be added to the count here. Click here for more information on our Frequently Asked Questions page.
Here are resources to get you started with the sadhana:
