Long Life Prayers for His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche

First Sunday of the month
4:00pm – 5:30pm Pacific Time

The four Bay Area FPMT centers (Land of Medicine Buddha, Ocean of Compassion, Tse Chen Ling, and Vajrapani) will offer Long Life Prayers for His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa on the first Sundays of each month.  Please check the schedule below to see the organizer for each event, and how to participate.


May the glorious lamas live long.
May happiness and well-being arise for all sentient beings, present throughout space.
May I and all beings without exception, having gathered the two accumulations and purified the two obscurations, be swiftly established in the state of Buddhahood.

 

As we wish for the above, we are offering Long Life prayers for His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa every month (including a recital at the end for Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s swift return).

We encourage all of Rinpoche’s students and all who are connected with him to join in these Long Life Prayers. We know that you can do prayers in your home, yet when all sangha members gather together, it helps make the intent of the prayer more effective.

Also, we know that doing Long Life Prayer is Guru Devotion Practice.

Many of the great masters have said that doing Long Life Prayer for your Guru is the best way to accumulate merit and purification practice. We think this is not late, but rather a very good time to do these Long Life Prayers as both His Holiness and Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche are involved in so many dharma activities, and teachings and they are in their older years.
