Join us in contributing to FPMT’s 2026 Global Mani Retreat, a worldwide accumulation of Chenrezig mantra running from Saka Dawa through Lhabab Duchen — two of the most merit-multiplying periods in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar.
Each session follows a Chenrezig sadhana with mantra accumulation. No prior experience with the practice is required.
This is one thread in a larger weaving: thousands of practitioners across the FPMT network are reciting together through 2026, working toward Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s vast vision of 100 million mani recitations and dedicating the merit toward his swift return, the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and the benefit of all beings.
Since the total number of mantras recited in the Global Mani Retreat sessions will be offered to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, please report your mantra count here: GLOBAL MANI RETREAT : MANTRA RECITATION COUNT / 線上觀音心咒閉關：持誦咒數統計.
As is indicated at that page, you can either:submit that form ONCE, at the conclusion of the etreat on November 1, 2026 – OR – submit your count in progressive stages, provided you do not repeat your previously reported numbers. Besides attending this or any other online sessions conducted during the retreat, you are also welcome to conduct retreat sessions on your own using “A Short Sādhanā of the Compassion Buddha, Ārya Chenrezig” which can be found here
Alternative Sadhana Option: The Source of All Attainments: The Yoga of the Inseparability of the Guru and Avalokiteshvara
