Max Meredith Vasilatos writes: if one
recites the mantra one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand or one
hundred thousand times with loving compassion ... within seven
days, inevitably, he will be liberated from the lower realms and
be reborn in a happy realm..."
referring to the Mantra Purifying the Karmic Obscurations:
namo ratna trayaya, om kamkani kamkani, rotzani rotzani, tortani
tortani, trasani trasani, partihana partihana, sarwa karma param
parani me sarwa sato nam soha
Consider it said a bazillion times for Rob. I'm sorry he
died.
From my limited understanding of the subject, I suspect that the transmission or the mantra to each of our machines qualifies as a recitation (and now I've just doubled it...)
I already miss Rob. One thing we joked about together was how we shared having our family names be victimized by Ellis Island. Rob's name was transformed into Italian, mine transformed from Italian. We wondered if it would be possible to find other people to form a complete cycle.
Rob was a dear, sweet man, and I will never forget him.
