…Namgyel Tong Chod is the thousand offering ritual of Namgyalma (Usnisha Vijaya), a Buddha of longevity and purification, and is said to have manifold benefits. It is said to be a powerful practice to purify negative karma and remove obstacles in the present and future to one’s health and life. It is also believed that anybody who hears Namgyalma’s mantra will never be reborn in the lower realms.

…Praying for the Long Life of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

…Praying for the Long Life of His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche and His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche.

…Praying for Well-Being, Peace and Happiness in the World.

“The inner Buddha is your mindful awareness and alertness.  If you were to practice mindful awareness with great diligence for just a month, if you were to recognize even the slightest thought and not allow your mind to wander off into delusion for that time, even in such a short time you would witness great changes. Fierce afflictions would not faze you so much any more, because you would have gained personal experience in observing the illusory play. There is in fact just one remedy necessary – mindful awareness. It is the single sufficient remedy that transforms difficulties inside and out.”– H.E. GARCHEN RINPOCHE
