Lama Chopa and Tsog Offering eBook by Lama Zopa Rinpoche Pdf
Lama Chopa is a practice of guru devotion special to the Gelugpa tradition. During this practice, the lamas of the graduated path lineage beginning with Shakyamuni Buddha himself, are invoked, extending to present direct teachers who have shown the path. Practitioners pay homage, make offerings, and request each of them to please bless their minds with the same realizations that they themselves have generated. By offering sincere, heartfelt requests, students make their minds ripe to receive the full blessings of this precious lineage and quickly actualize the realizations they need to attain enlightenment. If you wish to experience realizations quickly, the practice of Lama Chopa is indispensable. "Practicing this Guru Puja, which is an integration of the three deities, makes it much easier to achieve enlightenment in a brief life of this degenerated time. Doing this practice every day, with purification and many infinite skies of merit, brings the mind closer to the path to enlightenment and closer to enlightenment itself, and so much closer to freeing all sentient beings from obscurations and suffering and leading them to enlightenment. Putting the meaning of this into practice in ones life makes each day extremely rich and worthwhile". - Lama Zopa Rinpoche This PDF edition of the Lama Chopa without the Jorcho practices contains the essential additional prayers recommended by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. 2020 edition.
Helping Yourself and Others Die Happily: Instructions and Practices for the Time of Death eBook by Lama Zopa Rinpoche Pdf
Out of his infinite compassion for sentient beings, Lama Zopa Rinpoche asked that the practices found in this booklet be compiled to make it easy for us to prepare for our own death, and also easy for us to help other people who are dying or have died. As Rinpoche says in Dying Happily with the Five Powers, practicing “the five powers to be applied during life” serves as a preparation for our death. But as the time of our death approaches, we should specifically engage in the practice of “the five powers for near the time of death,” which Rinpoche explains in this booklet. When dictating the instructions for this booklet Lama Zopa Rinpoche said that we should also make use of the instructions, mantras, and images found in Liberation Tools to Help the Dying and Deceased. Rinpoche concluded his instructions by saying that scientists from universities like Harvard and Oxford, no matter how famous they are, don’t know how to help the dying and the deceased. We, on the other hand, have many methods available to us to help them. We should keep this in mind. 2022 edition.

A Daily Meditation on Shakyamuni Buddha eBook by Lama Zopa Rinpoche Pdf
Lama Zopa Rinpoche compiled A Daily Meditation on Shakyamuni Buddha specifically for beginner Buddhist practitioners to use as the basis of a formal meditation practice. In this revised version, Rinpoche has reorganized some of the prayers and, in particular, has added an extensive explanation of the visualizations to be done while taking refuge. Drawn from Phabongkha Rinpoche’s Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand, for each of the objects of refuge—Guru, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha—there are visualizations for purifying negative karma, increasing qualities, and coming under the guidance of that object of refuge. Subtitled “How to Meditate on the Graduated Path to Enlightenment,” it includes the preliminary practices of generating a bodhicitta motivation and blessing the offerings, and the actual practice of taking refuge in the Three Rare Sublime Ones, meditation on the four immeasurables, the seven-limb practice, and mandala offering, followed by making requests to the guru and Foundation of All Good Qualities. These practices prepare the mind for lamrim meditation by purifying negative karma and collecting extensive merits, and making requests to the guru. This practice can also be used as a basis for engaging in the preliminary practices, such as accumulating 100,000 prostrations, mandala offerings, and water bowl offerings. 2022 edition.
This King of Prayers, the extraordinary aspiration of the prayer of Samantabhadra, is commonly recited to bring benefit to those who are sick or have just passed away, and for the success of a virtuous project. It is a beautifully written aspiration containing the immaculate wishes of holy beings and in itself is a complete practice. It was extracted from the Gandhavyuha chapter of the Avatamsaka Sutra. Translated by Jesse Fenton. 13 Pages, 2008 Edition
