Dear Friends,
I hope you are well. We have just received some important
advice from our precious spiritual director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
Rinpoche has requested us to ask you—the members and
supporters of the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive—to perform a
total of 150
recitations of the Sanghata Sutra in order to clear obstacles
to the development of the Archive and the successful implementation
of our various projects.
There is some urgency to this and any recitations that you
undertake should be completed by July 14.
The sutra is quite long; it takes around 3 hours to recite
once. However, there is great merit in doing this and we
humbly request you to do at least one recitation, but actually,
as many as you can. Not only will you benefit the Archive
but you will also benefit yourself.
Before you start your recitation, please motivate:
"I am going to recite the Sanghata Sutra for the enlightenment
of all sentient beings. In particular, for the successful
development of the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive so that it may
spread the teachings of the Buddha far and wide for the benefit
of all."
Then you do the recitation. You
will find it in various languages here.
When you have completed each recitation, please dedicate
the vast merit you have created as follows:
"Through the merit of having recited this sutra, may
the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive receive the funding it needs
to develop for the benefit of all sentient beings; may all
the FPMT Dharma centers and projects and their members and
families find success in their lives and Dharma practice;
and may His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Lama Zopa Rinpoche,
Lama Osel Rinpoche and all my teachers have long and healthy
lives for the benefit of all."
You can also add any personal dedications you would like.
Please send me an email let
me know what you are able to undertake and when you have
completed your recitation(s).
I would really, really appreciate any help you could give
us with this.
Thank you so much.
Much love,
Nick Ribush
Director
