Dear
friends,
On
behalf of Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin of the
Tibetan Meditation Center, thank you to
everyone who participated in the recitation
and collection of Guru Rinpoche's 7-line
prayer for the benefit of our spiritual
leader, Khenchen Rinpoche Konchog Gyaltshen.
Khen Rinpoche is doing better and the prayers
were of benefit. In total we recited 155,145
prayers!
Now
Khenpo la, at the request of Kyabje
Garchen Rinpoche, asks all of Khen Rinpoche's
students to recite the 4 line praise and and
Tara mantra posted below for one month. Please
count these recitations of the praise &
mantra and send your accumulation to me by
OCTOBER 10th.
*** For those
who are also accumulating the 500,000 Tara
mantras for Kyabje Garchen Rinpoche, the
mantra count for this request can be counted
towards that accumulation. HOWEVER, I am ONLY
collecting the count for the 4-line Praise
said over the next month. Please do not send
me the 500,000 Tara mantra count for Gar
Rinpoche. I am unsure who is organizing this.
Thank you
kindly for your ongoing support and Dharma
practice. May it be of great benefit to
suffering beings.
