Peace Mantra

Peace Mantra or Ping'an Jing is a Chinese book by former Jilin public security official He Dian. Despite its repetitive content (the book consists entirely of lines stating "Let...be safe" (. . . 平安)), the book was promoted substantially by local authorities, leading to a controversy and discussions online about the practice of insincerely praising Chinese government officials and leaders. He was fired due to the controversy.
