Correct pronunciation of the Mandala Offering Mantra

On Jan. 18, 2024, Lineage Root Guru Living Buddha Lian-sheng provided the following guidance:
Pronunciation of the "ye" in the syllables “Da-ye-mi” in the final sequence of the Mandala Offering Mantra should be light.

Note: The sound of the Romanized Chinese characters in this sequence of the Mandala Offering Mantra should be in accordance with this pronunciation.

Mandala Offering Mantra:
"Om, Sha-er-wa, Da-ta-jia-da, Yi-da-mu, Gu-lu-la-na, Mian-zha-la, Kan, Ni-li-ye, "

Note: The Romanized mantra letters cannot possibly represent the actual sound of the mantra as transmitted by the Root Guru. Practitioners should listen to the Root Guru’s transmission for the correct pronunciation of the mantra.
