At the encouragement of our friends near and far, and with the intention to celebrate not only our own tenth anniversary, but also the birthday of our Founding Chair, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, and of course the precious month of Saga Dawa, 84000 was thrilled to be able to work with composer Harry Einhorn who conceptualized and created a truly inspirational "virtual choir" giving us the basis for a beautiful 24hrs of global group recitation. 

We used a recently published text, The Dedication: Fulfilling All Aspirations (https://read.84000.co/translation/toh285.html) that we felt really encapsulated everything we needed for this tumultuous 2020. Harry composed separate tracks which were sung by over 50 participants around the world, and skillfully edited them together to create a hypnotizing choral arrangement for this sūtra that we hope will continue to be sung far into the future. 

A big, big thank you to all those who participated (list below) despite hectic schedules, and to Sophie Perks who shot and gathered footage to create a beautiful visual story around all the clips she received, and creating - in record time - what we see here today! 

To borrow an excerpt from 84000's new aspiration prayer (https://84000.co/aspiration-prayer): 

"May the endeavors of the translators and editors plant the seed of the Dharma in all directions.

May the efforts of the patrons and administrators nurture and strengthen the shoot of the Dharma at all times.

May the noble aspirations of this endeavor maintain and propagate the precious Dharma far and wide."

Lyrics:

From the sky through the earth there are none who surpass the Buddha
In the worlds of the ten directions there are none who can compare 
Among all that I have seen in this world
There are none who surpass the Buddha

Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
From the sky through the earth there are none who surpass the Buddha

From the sky through the earth there are none who surpass the Buddha
In the worlds of the ten directions there are none who can compare 
Among all that I have seen in this world
There are none who surpass the Buddha

Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Oṃ Muni Muni Mahāmuni Śakyamuni Svāhā 

Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Oṃ Muni Muni Mahāmuni Śakyamuni Svāhā
