(译文请往下阅读) (By Tsem Rinpoche) Thank you so much Pastor Shin, Beatrix, Pastor David, Abby, Pastor Lanse, Pastor Jean Ai and a few others for working these few days on getting the Manjushri post out. Thank you for having it translated into Chinese so many more can practice this sacred Manjushri. I know all of you have put in a lot of effort and late nights.

At the time, there were very few places online which were offering such items so importing things from the east was not an easy process for ordinary lay people. Hence Rinpoche had the idea...

(译文请往下看) Manjushri Namasanghiti Chanting the Names of Manjushri (Manjushri Namasanghiti) is one of the most revered tantric texts in Tibetan Buddhism. The Buddha Shakyamuni and Bodhisattva Manjushri worked closely to expound the Dharma, although Manjushri himself had achieved enlightenment many lifetimes ago. According to the Avatamsaka Sutra, Manjushri is actually the Buddha Nageshvaraja who achieved enlightenment many eons ago in a different world system. In Shakyamuni’s time however, he took the form of Manjushri, a student of Lord Bud...

(中文分享请往下看) On July 21, 2016, 16 of us came together to engage in a retreat on the sacred practice of Manjushri. It was a four-day retreat in between work and assignments. By the end of the retreat we had each recited 100,000 mantras. Collectively we accumulated 1.6 million mantras altogether. During the retreat, our Guru, His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche shared a message with us on the state of the mind and the benefit of Manjushri’s practice. “Outer obstacles (financial, sickness, fear, disasters, etc.) arise from our own actions.
