Long Chenrezig Mantra

When I was at the dentist, I had the thought that the dental hygienist put so much time and effort, so now I should use this to free living beings from suffering and cause happiness to everyone. I mentioned after the cleaning that this is what I was thinking, and Roger said she had a little tear in her eye.

Then I thought if I don’t clean well, she has more work to do (joking). But then I thought if more teeth fall out, then she will have less work.

Also, when you recite the long Chenrezig mantra before going to the dentist then it purifies even the dentist (and dental hygienist).

When we recite the long Chenrezig mantra and then we go in water, when the water touches our body and then touches any being, it purifies their very heavy negative karma collected in past lives. All that gets purified until we achieve enlightenment. Also, we are always around buddhas and bodhisattvas, so we never get reborn in the lower realms. That means it is the end of womb rebirth and egg rebirth, etc. It also creates the cause to be born in the pure land.

Therefore, [recite the long Chenrezig mantra] if someone is going to touch your body, for example, a masseur or dentist. I try to finish that mantra before I go to the dentist, so they get these benefits.
