11/11 Vajrasattva mantra recitation, the way to Buddhahood


Details
I'm inviting you to join me [on Zoom] as I practice the recitation of the Vajrasattva mantra, the long form [100 syllables], in Sanskrit, line by line, also reciting an interpretation of it in English. I will read it off from notes I gathered in a document available online at www [dot] WUTC [dot] LIFE / Vajrasattva Buddhahood [all together, no spaces] which includes the Sanskrit, the Tibetan way of pronouncing it, and the English interpretation, line by line. I wish to make it a beginning practice, followed by reading from the book "The Way to Buddhahood" by Venerable master Yin Shun who got Taiwanese masters, such as Venerable master Hsing Yun, into thinking about and doing something about Humanistic Buddhism. In the meantime, I will also share a live video recording of the previous meetup, where I went through the document that contains the mantra. It was recorded live to YouTube and available to the public at my channel Buddhism 4 Happiness. Look for the Live streamed video titled "Vajrasattva - The Way to Buddhahood [August 11th meetup, Modern Buddhism]" which is also saved in the playlist titled: "Meetup and practice, 7 Eleven [the eleventh of each month at 7]". This type of meetup will be recorded live to that YouTube channel. You may keep your video camera turned off and you may stay muted. I hope you can follow along to whatever you are able to do at that time.
I'll be doing pretty much the same thing every 11th of the month at 7 PM. That's why I'm calling these "the 7 Eleven meetups." After this one, the next one will be scheduled, you guessed it, for October 11 at 7 PM. So every 11th of the month, we will have this happening online. I will continue to start with a prayer such as this Vajrasattva mantra, and then read a little from the book "The Way to Buddhahood" by Ven. Master Yin Shun.
When you RSVP, you will get the Zoom ID and no passcode is required. The Zoom ID stays the same, so you won't need to RSVP every time.
May this practice and your attendance benefit you and all sentient beings in some small imperceptible. inconceivable, boundless way.
Om Ah Hum.
