Let the Sound of the Mantra of Tara Who Saves from Contagious Diseases Transform into Brilliant Light to Bless Sentient Beings who Are in Pain and Suffering
Dear Masters, Senior Reverends, Reverends, Dharma Instructors, Dharma Assistants, Principals of Cultivation Venues, and all disciples,
How are you!
In compliance with restrictions mandated by Washington State government authorities, homa ceremonies have been suspended for a week. As a religious organization, we have been granted permission to broadcast Grandmaster’s homa ceremonies and Dharma discourses via live webcasts during this mandatory, statewide stay-at-home period. The webcasts offer disciples an extraordinary Dharma opportunity. We urge everyone to take advantage of this exceptional opportunity by participating in group cultivation in Grandmaster’s presence.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues its relentless spread throughout the world, ongoing news coverage of this crisis brings us tremendous grief and heartbreak. We are truly concerned for the wellbeing of our disciples and cultivation venues worldwide. In addition to paying close attention to personal hygiene and self-protection, we urge everyone to sincerely and continuously dedicate the merit of your mantra recitations. May the lineage blessings of Grandmaster transform the sound of the Tara’s mantra recitations into brilliant light to bless sentient beings who are suffering, and swiftly end the COVID-19 epidemic.
Issue 1310 of the True Buddha News, which included a world map, listed 245 cultivation venues that have participated in collective mantra recitation of the Tara Who Saves from Contagious Diseases. It is quite touching that, with the blessings of the Root Lineage Guru, we are all together making the utmost sincere dedication of merit for the eradication of this worldwide calamity.
Although travel restrictions are now in place in every country, and group cultivation in cultivation venues has been suspended, the True Buddha School hopes to make full use of its powerful influence throughout the world by continuously leading and encouraging disciples to recite the mantra of Tara Who Saves from Contagious Diseases until the epidemic is completely eradicated.
Let us work together diligently, hand in hand, and continue to inspire each other.
We are asking cultivation venues who are encouraging their members to recite the mantra but have not yet registered their venue’s name with us, to please email the name and the country to info@tbsn.org. We will then update the list of registered cultivation venues. Please also register your mantra count at the designated TBSN website.
We look forward to presenting an updated mantra recitation count and list of registered cultivation venues as a precious and meaningful Dharma offering to Grandmaster during the upcoming Tara Who Saves from Contagious Diseases Homa Ceremony.
Thank you for your participation!
Best regards,
Master Lianyue (蓮悅)
