New Advice From His Holiness the Dalai Lama!
Chanting the Names of Manjushri Continuously for Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Swift Return
A 24/7 prayer circle to amplify the causes for Rinpoche’s quick return!
On Lhabab Duchen, the IMI initiated a continual recitation of Chanting the Names of Manjushri (Jampal Tshan Jo) for the quick and auspicious return of Lama Zopa Rinpoche—an activity where all students of Rinpoche worldwide can participate!
His Holiness had advised “Please recite Names of Manjushri (Jampal Tshan Jo) continuously for now…” If we take the word “continuously” literally, it could mean a twenty-four hour relay seven days a week! It could be quite powerful to have the recitation going all the time, and collectively from the whole of IMI and FPMT.
Over 160 verses comprise the text, which is categorized as a tantra, but can be read by anyone without restrictions. This praise of Manjushri was taught by Buddha Shakyamuni at the request of Vajrapani. It is a central text in all Tibetan traditions and is often recited and memorized by students.

About IMI
The International Mahayana Institute (IMI) is a community of Buddhist monks and nuns of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT). Lama Zopa Rinpoche is the current Spiritual Director and Abbott of the IMI. Lama Thubten Yeshe, the founder of FPMT, established the IMI in 1973 in order to develop a community of nuns and monks where we would not only be cared for, but where we would also take care of each other.
