A Book of Common Tibetan Buddhist Prayers
"This non-sectarian collection covers a wide range of prayers that one might encounter when attending a Monlam or Prayer Festival of any of the Tibetan traditions. The useful layout includes English translation, with Tibetan transliteration on the facing page. The 36 different prayers include several key sutras, dedications of burnt offerings, aspiration prayers and more." --Snow Lion PublicationsThis book contains many of Tibetan Buddhism's most common prayers. It is very common in Tibetan monasteries and colleges to find such "lag dep" (handbooks) but until now there has been no comparable work in English. The book is non-sectarian, and includes special aspirations for the growth of each major dharma tradition, a general aspiration by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, a new longevity prayer for His Holiness, and several important sutras and tantras. --Namse Bangdzo Bookstore
