Some people will be reciting a mala (i.e. 108 times) or more of His Holiness’ mantra – “Karmapa Khyenno” – and dedicating this to His Holiness.
If you have no idea how to pronounce that, click here. (It’s only me, so it could be better!)
Edit: Oh, I have been reminded of the Billion Mantra Initiative, and that anyone who does this can still contribute their counts (preferably on or before the day) by going to khandro.net.
