Many people are practicing preliminary practices, prostrating several hundred times daily. When prostrating, if one can chant the mantra: om namo manjushriyé soha, namo sushriyé soha, namo uttamashriyé soha, then the merit of prostration will multiply by 10 million time. However, the preliminary practice of prostrating for 100,000 times cannot be replaced by chanting this mantra once.
