A Book of Common Tibetan Buddhist Prayers

A Book of Common Tibetan Buddhist Prayers. Every year, Buddhist “great prayer festivals” are held at Bodh Gaya in Tibet and at other holy places around the world. A Book of Common Tibetan Buddhist Prayers is a compilation of the highest quality English language translations of important prayers and aspiration sutras commonly recited during these festivals, and in daily practice in hundreds of monasteries and dharma centres around the world.

Also included are classical and modern prayers to Shakyamuni Buddha and Manjusri, special aspirations for each major Tibetan Dharma tradition, a general aspiration by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, and a lovely new long life prayer for His Holiness. All translations are accompanied by easy-to-use phonetic versions of the Tibetan texts.
