About this ebook
According to Lama Zopa Rinpoche, “This text is very precious and there is so much benefit in printing or writing it. This is one of the texts that, if written in gold, mountains of negative karma get purified. Nalanda Monastery prints a certain number each week for the success of the projects, so imagine the benefits: each time they make one copy it is like copying all the 84,000 teachings of Buddha. It is also great purification. Especially, writing this collects most merit. You write it, not because someone needs the book, but just because it helps for long life and to collect merit. It’s very good to print for people who have cancer, and for the success of activities and projects. If a business has difficulties, or is difficult to start, if you have difficulty finding a job, or the job is not going well, you can print many copies to make merit, not particularly for mundane success but generally to collect merit for realizations, conditions for Dharma practice. Then you can dedicate the merits of printing for all sentient beings. This is one solution for success and long life. Also, when you die you will get born in Amitabha’s pure land.”
This version is suitable for reciting.
2020 edition.

A Guide to Pronouncing Sanskrit
The following points will enable you to easily learn the pronunciation of most transliterated Sanskrit terms and mantras:
Ś and Ṣ sounds similar to the English sh
in shoe.
The difference between the two is where the tongue is positioned in the mouth.
C is pronounced similar to the ch
in chap.
CH is similar but is more heavily aspirated.
Ṭ, ṬH, Ḍ, ḌH, Ṇ are retroflex letters and have no exact equivalent in English. These sounds are made by curling the tongue towards the front section of the palate. They correspond roughly to the sounds tra
(Ṭ), aspirated tra
(ṬH), dra
(Ḍ), aspirated dra
(ḌH), and nra
(Ṇ).
All consonants followed by an H are aspirated: KH, GH, CH, JH, TH, DH,
