The 2026 FPMT Global Mani Retreat is scheduled to commence on the first day of Saka Dawa month (Sunday, May 17, 2026), and conclude on the final Buddha Day for this year, Lhabab Duchen (Sunday, November 1, 2026). This retreat is open to all students who meet the minimum requirement of having taken refuge in the Three Jewels. It will comprise:
Major Online Teachings by High Lamas for powerful blessings and inspiration.
Online Group Practice Sessions by teachers drawn from every region of the FPMT organization to build strong family feeling and maintain the retreat’s momentum.
Individual Practice at Home where participants are encouraged to recite the Chenrezig sadhana and recite the Mani mantra daily for the duration of this retreat.
Group Practice at the annual 100 Million Mani Retreat hosted by FPMT Mongolia, but this is not compulsory.
We are offering this wonderful opportunity to join us for the Nyung Na retreat sessions here at Chenrezig Institute and to be part of this vast vision and dedication through reciting the Mani mantras.
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
