Palyul News and Events

The monks of Namdroling Monastery continuously carry through prayers and practice for all of those in all countries affected by natural disasters, famine, warfare and all sorts of misfortunate events - as well as for all sentient beings.

Anyone who wishes to help beings suffering in this world in ways additional to financial help are advised to follow through the practices for which we have received instructions as much as possible. If possible, please increase the amount of time you recite your practices daily and dedicate the merit to all sentient beings.

If one does not have a practice, it is fine to repeat the mantra of
Chenresig (Avalokitesvara), the Bodhisattva of Compassion as follows:

Om Mani Peme Hung

If possible, recite this mantra as many times as possible when awakening from sleep, during the day, and again before retiring. In reciting this mantra, remember that your practice is offered as help for all beings. It can be helpful to keep in mind one's own safety and fortunate circumstances, and offer one's good luck with the wish that all beings may be free of suffering. You can recite this mantra once or by the number of beads we have on our mala (108) or many thousands of times. Most important, however, is your intention to be of help to those who lost their lives or have suffered the loss of family members and other misfortunes as a result of events within or beyond their control.

When you have completed a session of recitations, dedicate your practice to all beings, living and recently passed away as follows:

CHANGCHUB SEM CHOG RINPOCHE

The precious Bodhicitta (awakened mind)

MA KYE PA NAM KYE GYUR CHIG

If unborn, may it arise,

KYE PA NYAM PA MED PA DANG

If generated may it never diminish,

GONG NEI GONG DU PHEL WAR SHOG

And may it remain ever-increasing!
