I can't seem to find ANY anywhere... I was told there was one by one organization, but they told me it didn't exist. I found out later that people use the mantra as a 'magic' power source and the sangha was worried that people would misuse it. I am sad to hear that this mantra, that is used in the morning ceremonies of (some) Mahayanist monasteries is 'closed' to the public. If you could help me source more information I would appreciate it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166631415074553988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2561740860112798407.post-33213290465175046702016-01-29T20:37:08.298-06:002016-01-29T20:37:08.298-06:00Dear Chad, if you wish to learn more about Buddhis...Dear Chad, if you wish to learn more about Buddhism, first study more.

It isn't really seen much in Western Culture, but many of my friends recite the Buddha's name. And all beings are reciting the Buddhas name.
