How can I begin?
Mantras and pujas do not cancel financial liabilities or replace professional financial planning. Write down obligations and due dates, speak to lenders where appropriate and do not pay for a remedy using borrowed money.
Choose a clean, comfortable place. Read the meaning and learn the words slowly. For general remembrance, there is no count, mala or fixed time imposed here. Learn formal vows within your own tradition.
