(1) The Vajra Guru Project
With the successful completion of the Billion
Mantra Initiative (see below), the Gyalwa Karmapa
has suggested that dharma practitioners join in
the recitation of the Vajra Guru mantra.
The Vajra Guru mantra is the
prayer which invokes the blessing of Guru Rinpoche
(also known as Padmasambhava).
Guru Rinpoche is the great saint who
brought Buddhism from India to Tibet in the 8th Century,
C.E.

(2) Karmapa Khyenno Mantras
As of July, 2006, more than one billion "Karmapa
Khyenno" mantras were chanted
for the long life and buddha activity of the 17th
Gyalwa Karmapa. This accomplishment successfully
completed the Billion Mantra Initiative (BMI).
The BMI was a project started by one
of Thrangu Rinpoche's students in California.
Even though we reached
our goal of one billion mantras, the recitation
project is still ongoing. For more information
on how to participate, please visit Khandro.net.
Although this special
dharma practice is dedicated to the activity of
the Gyalwa Karmapa, any merit accrued from it is
dedicated to all sentient beings everywhere.
