In addition, DDM branch monasteries at home and abroad have set up spiritual tablets for the deceased, disaster mitigation rituals for the injured, and prayer services for all beings. The merit is dedicated to all sentient beings, especially to wish the dead to gain a good rebirth, the injured to settle their minds, and the suffering to increase in well-being. DDM official Facebook page and global website has also launched the “Upholding the Dharani to Invoke Blessings” initiative to invite the public to compassionately pray for the deceased, injured, and their families, as well as the rescue personnel. With the merit of chanting the mantra and the Buddha’s name, we hope those who are suffering can soon overcome their difficult situations.
