DHARAMSHALA: Tibetans in eastern Tibet have started taking part in special spiritual activities days after His Holiness the Dalai Lama called for the need to enhance the collective merit of the Tibetan people for the cause of Tibet, reports coming out of Tibet say.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama on the sidelines of a recent teaching at Drepung monastery in southern India, announced that he will be taking three weeks of meditational retreat in Ladakh from 1 August. He encouraged Tibetans inside and outside Tibet to pray and recite Tibetan Buddhist mantras for the benefit of the Tibet cause. His Holiness asked Tibetans to recite Mani 1000 times, the Heart Sutra (Sherab Nyingpo) twice and the Phagtoe prayers everyday for the next three weeks.
“Following the announcement by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, thousands of Tibetans have started taking part in meritorious activities in Karze and other areas in eastern Tibet,” Radio Free Asia reported.
The Department of Religion and Culture of the Central Tibetan Administration had also issued a circular urging all Tibetans to do the same. We will organise a special prayer service on 8 August to recite the mantras, Kalon Pema Chhinjor was quoted as saying by Tibetonilne.tv.
