Lama Zopa Rinpoche: Life Practice Advice and Prayers for his Swift ReturnOne of Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s highest priorities was providing guidance to students’ requests for advice on daily and lifetime practices. The FPMT has many resources to access his advice. Learn more HERE. The worldwide FPMT family is making 24/7 recitations to ensure the swift return of our most beloved and precious Rinpoche. It's easy to sign up, and all are welcome! Learn more HERE. |
Prayers and Mantras for our precious TeachersWe honor our teachers and deepen our connection to them by praying for their long life or swift return. CLICK HERE to find the long-life prayers for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Delek and our Geshes, as well as the swift return prayer for Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Many years ago we requested a long life prayer for Geshe Gelek from his teacher, Khensur Rinpoche, who recommended that, without a long life prayer, we should say 200,000 Green Tara mantras each year for our teachers' long lives. We recite the mantra regularly at the Center, and invite those who feel a close connection to Geshe Gelek and Geshe Sangpo to join in! We now have long life prayers for both Geshe Gelek and Geshe Sangpo, which we received in 2023. We have maintained the Tara mantra count into this year, and will discontinue it when the year ends. Of course, many students who are devoted to both our teachers and to Tara will continue to say the mantras and dedicate them to our precious Geshes' long lives. Green Tara Mantra: OM TARE TUTARE TURE SOHA Our total Tara mantras counted as of August 27, 2024: 755,675 |
