The Annual Buddha Amitabha Drubchen at Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery in South India was completed April 21st, with a total accumulation of nearly 1.5 billion mantras. The goal of the Drubchen was to accumulate merit, bring peace, and remove obstacles challenging the world in these difficult times.
We thank all those associated with the Amitabha Foundation worldwide who shared in the merit and contributed to this practice with their own recitations of the Buddha Amitabha Mantra. Over 2 million mantras were sent in just through the Amitabha Foundation US!
Many people also gave generously to help sponsor the Drubchen. Donations are still welcome. For those of you who wish to wire offerings directly to the monastery’s account, see the information below. US tax-deductible donations may also be made through the Amitabha Foundation US here.
