Finding New Premises for the Center

Date of Advice:
Date Posted:

Rinpoche advised these practices for an FPMT center that was struggling to find new premises. The students were no longer allowed to hold classes in their current place.

Rinpoche checked and advised the following:

  • Verses for the Eight Noble Auspicious Ones: To be recited regularly until there is success. [In these verses, homage is paid to the Three Jewels, eight sugatas, the eight great bodhisattvas, the eight offering goddesses, and the eight worldly guardians.]
  • Holy Name Mantra That Fulfills Wishes: Recite one mala regularly. [See FPMT Essential Prayer Book, 2021 edn.]
  • White Mahakala puja: Geshe-la to do this.
  • Diamond Cutter Sutra: To be recited three times by center students and whoever can do the recitations at the center.
