Right now, I have just done 108 compassion avelokiteshvara mantra recitations. Another mantra I know is being recited on cd: Om benza satto hung. It is calming my anxious fears a bit.  I must pray more to calm down more. I hope all will be well and no damage will be done. 

I spoke to my sister but it was not great news since she is getting a medical procedure tomorrow, for a routine test unpleasant as it is.

The monks are chanting in their old tibetan voices so deep and ancient. It is almost eerie. The gong bells are heard. Om muni muni mahamuni soha Om muni muni mahamuni soha
