We warmly invite you to join us on this special day for a Chenrezig practice, and to take part in this vast vision and dedication through the recitation of the Mani mantra.
The session will be led by Venerable Ailsa from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, in person only.
Upon the conclusion of this Global Mani Retreat, the total number of Mani mantras recited will be offered to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This is an incredible opportunity for the entire FPMT organization to join together in a powerful collection of merit, harmony, and blessings for the entire world!
“This is one of my dreams, to have 100 Million Mani Retreats each year and for it to continue forever, even after I die, even after the people living now die. Those who are working, offering service now—to continue even after they die; to continue for as long as the country exists.” — Lama Zopa Rinpoche
