In 2020 we began accumulating the Vajra Guru Mantra to bring balance to the World.  We have collectively achieved our goal - 100,000,000! 

Tulku Thadral Rinpoche would like us to accumulate another 100 Million. 

We have reached 9.97 million as of September 1 2025 

Join us to start accumulating at any time and submit your totals, weekly, monthly or otherwise to  offerings@vajrayana.org
