A student advised that her father had recently recited over two million Manis [Chenrezig mantra] in just a few months at home. It was his first time reciting this mantra and he was going to continue daily recitation.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling Carla and also your father,
Skies of numberless thanks and best wishes to your father and to you, it is unbelievable. This is exactly what is needed generally, but especially now, because there are local problems, country problems, and all the individual problems, like suicide, so it’s important.

The antidote is compassion for all the six realm sentient beings—the numberless hell beings, numberless hungry ghosts, numberless animals, numberless human beings, numberless sura beings, numberless asura beings and numberless intermediate state beings —all the sentient beings in this world, country, city, family and yourself.

OM MANI PADME HUM is to generate compassion—this is the real antidote. Not only that, it is the greatest way to purify the negative karma collected since beginningless rebirth and especial to develop compassion for the numberless sentient beings, so that brings enlightenment quickly.

Please continue to live your life with the thought of bodhicitta in every action that you do, day and night. That is the best life.

With much love and prayers...
