An Invitation to Join Our Collective Practice
Nagarjuna Cultural Center respectfully invites all practitioners to join us in the group recitation of the Manjushri Heart Mantra, to cultivate virtuous connections, and to enhance merit and wisdom collectively.
Benefits of the Mantra
In the Ritual of Manjushri Bodhisattva according to the Vajraśekhara Tantra, the Manjushri Heart Mantra is extolled for its supreme merits: it eradicates karmic obscurations; bestows unimpeded and boundless eloquence; fulfills all aspirations—both mundane and supramundane; dispels all suffering and afflictions; purifies the five heinous crimes, along with other obscurations of misdeeds; grants realization of all samādhi gateways; endows one with great retention through hearing; and leads to the attainment of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment.
Practice Guidance
We recommend reciting the mantra at least 1,000 times daily—the more, the better. If one is unable to reach this number, even one single recitation per day can be counted towards participation in the collective practice.
Dedication of Merit
Upon completing your recitation, please dedicate the merits of this practice to world peace, the well-being of all people, the long life of great masters, the perfection of merit and wisdom for all practitioners, and the liberation from suffering and attainment of happiness for all sentient beings.
