True Buddha Foundation Announcement
Announcing the official kick off of worldwide collective energy event
by chanting the mantra of Mahabala, the great True Buddha School lineage dharma protector!!


Recently, incidents involving the cultivation, serving, and utilization of ghosts have been reported to us one after another. This ''ghost cultivation'' activity appears to be spreading among individuals and cultivation venues worldwide.
To prevent our school from being haunted and damaged by ghosts, to protect the True Buddha School lineage, and to ensure the safety, peace, and auspiciousness of every individual, family, and cultivation venue, the True Buddha Foundation is calling on all disciples and cultivation venues to do their utmost to chant the Mahabala mantra as many times as possible. Additionally, disciples may perform the Mahabala Ghost Prohibiting Practice to form protective boundaries for bedrooms, houses, and cultivation venues.

===================================================================
Mahabala, the great lineage dharma protector of True Buddha School, protects True Buddha! Massive worldwide mantra chanting energy collection event has been kicked off! All temples, chapters, cultivation venues, and all TBS disciples are cordially invited to cultivate Mahabala Ghost Prohibiting Practice.

Mantra: ''Om, ma-ha-ba-la-ye, hum-hum-pei.''

Pray to Mahabala to guard Root Guru Living Buddha Lian-sheng so he may have ''health, longevity, and stay long in the world.'' Pray to Mahabala to protect cultivation venues and individuals for ''forming and purifying protective boundaries and for accomplishing cultivation.''

【Event Details】
Starting immediately, participants may record their mantra recitation count with the name of participants or participating cultivation venues at this website: http://tbsn.org/chinese3/prayform.php?cid=7. Participants may also email the mantra count, including name and a note indicating ''for Mahabala mantra chanting event,'' to webmaster@tbsn.org. Please choose only one of the above two options to avoid duplication of the mantra count. Thank you for your cooperation.

【Important Notes】
1. Those who attended the Mahabala Ceremony presided over by Living Buddha Lian-sheng in Seattle on Aug. 27, 2016 and received the Mahabala empowerment are not required to request another empowerment for the Mahabala Ghost Prohibiting Practice. The Mahabala empowerment given during the ceremony already includes empowerment to perform this practice.
2. Vajrayana associations, temples, chapters, and cultivation venues are welcome to request empowerment for Mahabala mantra chanting on behalf of their group by mailing a letter requesting this empowerment to the True Buddha Foundation. The empowerment for Mahabala mantra chanting includes empowerment for the Mahabala Ghost Prohibiting Practice. Remote empowerment cannot be bestowed for the Mahabala Uncommon Practice as empowerment for this practice must be personally bestowed by the Root Guru.
