Long Life Prayers for Our Gurus

---

First Sunday of the month
4:00pm – 5:30pm Pacific Time


The four Bay Area FPMT Centers (Land of Medicine Buddha, Ocean of Compassion, Tse Chen Ling, and Vajrapani) will offer Long Life Prayers for our Gurus. ​At Tse Chen Ling we will offer prayers for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa, Geshe Ngawang Dakpa, and the Swift Return prayers for Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

​Please check the schedule below to see the organizer for each event, ​​​​and how to participate.

May the glorious lamas live long.
May happiness and well-being arise for all sentient beings, present throughout space.
May I and all beings without exception, having gathered the two accumulations and purified the two obscurations, be swiftly established in the state of Buddhahood.
​​

In wishing for the above aspirations to be realized, we encourage all students and everyone connected with our precious teachers to join in these sessions. While it is fine to do these prayers individually, doing them together as a community is energizing and can actually help us accumulate more merit and benefit. Doing Long Life Prayer is Guru Devotion practice:
​
"From guru devotion comes correctly devoting to the virtuous friend with thought and action, and everything comes from that." -Lama Zopa Rinpoche
