Prayers and Mantras for our precious TeachersWe honor our teachers and deepen our connection to them by praying for their long lives or their swift return. CLICK HERE to find the long-life prayers for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Delek and our Geshes, as well as the swift return prayer for Lama Zopa Rinpoche. At Kadampa Center's request, our Geshes' teacher, Khensur Rinpoche, recommended we say 200,000 Green Tara mantras each year for our teachers' long lives. We recite the mantra regularly at the Center, and invite those who feel a close connection to Geshe Gelek and Geshe Sangpo to join in! Green Tara Mantra: OM TARE TUTARE TURE SOHA Our total Tara mantras counted as of December 31, 2023: 2,151,676 |
