The 11th 100 Million Mani Retreat

Mani Retreat Association SG

Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Dharma,

In the year 2001, His Eminence the Late Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, came to Singapore and initiated the first 100 Million Mani Recitation Retreat. Drubwang Rinpoche led more than 400 participants to chant "Om Mani Padme Hung", the six-syllable heart mantra of the Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa) and accomplished the retreat in 10 days. All the participants were immersed with great joy and deeply inspired by this simple and yet powerful practice. Many directly felt the blessing of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattvas, which warmed their hearts and transformed their lives. A lot experienced a new level of insight and strengthened their faith in the Buddha Dharma. Many good and positive conditions had also appeared in their lives.

With the blessing of the Triple Gems and also your very kind support, the Mani Retreat had since been held annually with great success. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who had previously participated in this precious retreat. Your presence had helped to provide a strong encouragement to each other, especially to the organisers. We sincerely hope that you will once again continue to give your time and effort in this meaningful practice and together complete the accumulation of the 100 million mantras in this upcoming 4 days Mani retreat.

The merit accumulated will be dedicated for world peace, freedom from sickness and diseases. The world now is filled with a lot of uncertainty and changes. The Mani practice is very helpful in generating a calming effect to the surrounding environment, bringing back the balance in the ecological system and helping to heal the Earth. From within our heart, let us spread this energy of compassionand kindness throughout space, as we chant "Om Mani Padme Hung" and make aspiration that all the beings enjoy happiness and be free from suffering. As we chant the Mani mantra wholeheartedly, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will rejoice in our effort and give their blessing. The Devas and Dharma protectors will be with us days and nights, and many of the beings whom we have connection with, especially those suffering in the lower realms, will soon be liberated and attain a good rebirth.

For those of you who are new to this retreat, please take this rare opportunity to try it out. If you are hoping to explore the meaning of life, experience inner peace and tranquility, which is quite a tough challenge in our present fast-pace society, this practice itself is like a golden key, ready to unlock the hidden treasure from within. So do not miss this, take a step forward and experience it for yourself.

诸位佛友，



直贡噶举传乘已故尊贵的竹旺贡觉诺布仁波切于2001年莅临新加坡发起了

第一届的一亿遍观音心咒闭关禅修大法会。当时，尊贵的竹旺仁波切带领

着超过400名参加者，一起念诵大悲观世音菩萨的心咒，也就是六字大明咒

“唵嘛呢叭咪吽”，在10天内完成了一亿遍的嘛呢念诵，法会圆满结束。

所有的参加者法喜充满，皆为这容易修持但却能带来殊胜利益的法门而深

深的感动。许多人感受到观世音菩萨的加持，为心灵上增添了一丝温暖，从

而改变了他们的生命。也有人打开了新的视线，在修学佛道上信心倍增,

许多的善缘也因此在他们的生命里敞开。



因为三宝的加持，因为有你们共同的发心，嘛呢法会在这几年里能够圆满

的进行。在此我们要表达至诚的谢意，感谢所有参加过嘛呢法会的佛友

门，因为你们的到来，相互给于支持，也给了主办单位很大的鼓励。我们

真诚的希望你们能够再一次的发心护持，今年底出席共同完成一亿遍的念

诵，圆满这四日的共修大法会。



这次法会所获得的功德，将回向世界和平，瘟疫疾病消除。我们如今的世

界有着很大的变动，嘛呢的共修能够缓和与改善我们周遭的环境，平衡整

个生态系统，帮助治疗我们的地球。我们从内心祈请，将升起的慈悲心

力，遍撒整个虚空。让我们持诵着“唵嘛呢叭咪吽”，共同祈愿一切众生

能够离苦得乐。当我们用至诚的心来持诵观音心咒，诸佛菩萨会欢喜加

持，天人及护法善神也会日夜守护。和我们有缘的众生，尤其是逗留在三

恶道里的众生，也能够迅速的获得解脱，得到善身。



若您是第一次接触此闭关禅修，请您一定要来尝试参与。如果您要寻找生

命的意义，内心想拥有一份安宁与祥和，在这样的一个紧张忙碌的现代都

市生活，那是一项艰难的挑战。嘛呢共修犹如一把金钥匙，能够直接打开

我们自心的宝库。在此呼吁诸位不要错过这宝贵的机缘，迈出您的步伐，

自身亲临体验一回。
