Mantra Recitations for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and FPMT
At the beginning of each Tibetan year, Ven. Roger Kunsang requests advice for Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s health and the success of the FPMT organization. This year Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Dronme (Khadro-la) has advised that it would be extremely beneficial if FPMT students can recite Chenrezig and White Tara mantras for His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s health, for the fulfilment of all their wishes, and for the benefit of all in the FPMT organization.
The request is to recite these mantras during the most meritorious period starting with Losar (March 3), and up to and including the last of the Days of Miracles, Chotrul Duchen, on March 18. Please dedicate using the FPMT dedication prayers (in the FPMT Essential Prayer Book and Complete Dedication Prayer Book), including the long life prayer for His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Whether you are doing them individually or as part of a group at your local center, project, or service; please keep track of the numbers of mantras you complete. You can send your individual recitation numbers on March 19 to Claire Isitt, and if you are connected to a local FPMT center, please send them your recitation numbers. Ven. Roger will then offer that accumulation of meritorious activity to Lama Zopa Rinpoche on behalf of us all.
Chenrezig mantra:
OM MANI PADME HŪM (link to a short practice from Education Services)
White Tara mantra:
OM TĀRE TUTTĀRE TURE MAMA ĀYUR PUṆYE JÑĀNA PUSHTIM KURUYE SVĀHĀ (link to a short meditation from Education Services)
These practices are in addition to the long life puja being offered to Lama Zopa Rinpoche on March 11 (with seven days of preparatory pujas being offered). We will send more details and a reminder about this auspicious long life puja at the end of the week.
His Holiness the 14th the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche is the spiritual director of the Foundation for the Preservation of Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), a Tibetan Buddhist organization dedicated to the transmission of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition and values worldwide through teaching, meditation and community service. https://fpmt.org/lama-zopa-rinpoche-news-and-advice/mantra-recitations-for-his-holiness-the-dalai-lama-lama-zopa-rinpoche-and-fpmt/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=facebook_lzr
