The 19th day of the 9th lunar month is Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Day of Ordainment. If one can recite the Great Repentance Practice as a form of celebration, the wisdom and merits accumulated, and qualities created are unsurpassable. One can also dedicate the merits for the pandemic to subside swiftly, world peace to prevail, all calamities to be averted, and for all beings to increase in their bliss and wisdom.
