One Million Shurangama Mantra Recitations Program
In Buddhism, the Shurangama mantra is the most important mantra. It is known as the king of all mantras and it is also the longest mantra. This mantra relates closely to the rise and fall of Buddhism. Shurangama mantra is the auspicious mantra that supports the continued existence of heaven and earth. This mantra prevents the world from coming to an end. Therefore I always emphasise that as long as there is one person in this world who can recite this mantra, the world will not be destroyed. The Buddha Dharma will not be extinguished neither.
When no one in this world can recite the Shurangama mantra, is the time when this world would rapidly meet its demise because the proper Dharma no longer exists.
All Buddhas of the ten directions originated from the Shurangama Mantra, therefore we can say that Shurangama Mantra is the mother of all Buddhas.
The Tathagatas of the ten directions have awakened to the supreme wisdom by the means of Shurangama Mantra. The Tathagatas of the ten directions are able to transform their body in as many countries as there are innumerable particles of dust, to teach and guide beings by turning the Dharma wheel in propagating the Dharma; to give predictions to beings in ten directions by touching the crowns of their heads, to liberate various sentient beings from suffering, to relinquish all misfortunes, big or small; all at once. All these are by the power of the heart of the Shurangama Mantra.--------- Venerable Master Hsuan Hua

· 3x every morning at 5am;
· 3x every Saturday afternoon at 1pm & dedication of merit led by Dharma Masters;
