FULL MOON SERIES 2020 – A LITTLE WORK AND A LOT OF JOY The first Ligmincha Zoom Marathon was on January 11, 2020, where mantras were recited together for the Long Life of His Eminence Yongdzin Rinpoche. On February 9, 2020 a cycle of Zoom Marathons started on the full Moon of every month with the Sherap Chamma Meditation and Recitation. It started with our first Zoom Marathon in January. Inspired by the commitment of many, the idea was born to recite Mantras together over a 24 hour period for the Long Life of His Eminence Yongdzin Rinpoche, and to present them along with the many other collected Mantras to Yongdzin Rinpoche during the Thenshug.
The dates for 2020 are: June 5 July 5 August 3 September 2 October 1 October 31 November 30 December 30 All sessions start at 16.00 h Central European Time (10 am New York Time) and continue for 24 hours, until the next day, 16.00 h Central European Time (10 am New York Time). We are looking forward to your participation. Please register in advance for this free Zoom meeting.
This was such a positive experience that Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche immediately came with a new idea: to do the Sherap Chamma Meditation and Recitation every month at full moon. In a few weeks the Development Team put this wonderful series on its feet, receiving much support from the Ligmincha worldwide sangha. 74 Mantra Hosts from 21 countries in 16 shifts of 90 minutes each participate in this wonderful monthly event. All of them have contributed and continue to contribute to the fact that a little bit of work has become a lot of joy. In April we calculated a total of nearly 2.500 hours of mantra recitation. More than 1.000 computers and other devices logged in at one time or another, and many of them had more than one person participating. Rinpoche said: “It was wonderful being able to join a couple of times, together with my family, Tsering and Senghe. I'm looking forward to the next 24-hour practice on June 5.” You can read more about the Full Moon Series at www.cybersangha.net/24-full-moon.
