  The Six-Syllabled Mantra 'Om MaNi PadMe Hum' is the heart mantra of GuanYin Pusa, Avalokiteshvara, and also the essence of Buddhas. It is the core of all 84000 teachings of the Buddhas, and embodiment of perfect compassion..
  
  Verbal recitation of the mantra also helps develop within individuals the deepest qualities of Peace, Compassion and Mindfulness, through the blessing of GuanYin, and also a pure mind.
  The merits accumulated will be dedicated towards Well-being of World Peace, World Economy & World Health.. hehe
  
  It is a rare opportunity to accumulate limitless benefits by reciting 100 million times of the mantra, in just 7 days

  I've checked with the GuangMingShan staff, the registration date is from 1 Oct to 15 Nov..and yup there should be full attendance by all participants throughout the 7 days, so as to complete the 100 million chanting
