Memorize verse #3 listening to the recording; then, recite the Sankalpa; recite verse #3 out loud; and repeat it mentally 3 times.

Then each day, recite verse #3 out loud and repeat it mentally 3 times, contemplating its meaning throughout the day. And, at the Sangha gathering in February of 2019, the community mantra for the next three years will be given in a group initiation.

Thou art the sun that dispels the darkness of the ignorant;

to the unknowing Thou art a spiritual flower overflowing with honey;

to the needy Thou art the gem which bestows one‘s heart‘s desires;

and to those who are drowned in the ocean of births and deaths,

Thou art the Rescuer. ( translation by Swami Rama)
