What a blessed beginning for the new year!

The most beneficial thing to have peace and to stop the wars is recitation of the Golden Light Sutra.

This is the most beneficial thing to bring peace, everyone should try to do this, no matter how busy they are, even to recite one or two pages, even a few lines.

When you read the Golden Light Sutra you also read the ‘mantra without attachment;’ this practice is within the text. The benefits of reciting just this mantra: Even all the material possessions, all the human wealth, especially all the wealth of the deva realms (asura’s and sura’s) cannot compare to the value of this mantra. It is nothing compared to this mantra.

You collect limitless skies of benefit and merit by even just reciting one word of this mantra. So by reciting the whole text is unbelievably beneficial, one collects extensive merits, liberates numberless sentient beings from the oceans of suffering and brings them to enlightenment.
