The FPMT Global Mani Retreat launched on May 17, 2026, the first day of Saka Dawa month, bringing together practitioners from around the world in a collective effort to accumulate one hundred million recitations of OM MANI PADME HUM.

One of Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Vast Visions for the FPMT organization was to hold 100 Million Mani retreats.

“This is one of my dreams, to have 100 Million Mani Retreats each year and for it to continue forever, even after I die, even after the people living now die. Those who are working, offering service now—to continue even after they die; to continue for as long as the country exists.” — Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Rejoice 🙏🙏🙏

🙏✨ We are delighted to rejoice in the successful completion of all eight sets of Nyung Nä, lovingly led by Ven. Ailsa.

A special congratulations to the 12 practitioners who completed all eight sets. Their dedication, perseverance, and sincere practice throughout the retreat series are truly inspiring and a wonderful cause for rejoicing.

We also rejoice in the participation of the 13 practitioners who joined for various numbers of the retreats. Every Nyung Nä completed creates immense merit and purification, benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings.

Our heartfelt thanks go to Ven. Ailsa for her guidance and support, and to all the volunteers who helped make these retreats possible.

May the merit generated through this practice contribute to the long and healthy life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Geshe Phuntsok Tsultrim, and all our precious teachers; to the swift and unmistaken recognition of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's reincarnation; to the flourishing of the Dharma throughout the world; and to the happiness and enlightenment of all sentient beings. 🙏💛
