    About this ebook

    Anyone can do this practice. Instructions for visualization are included in the text.

    This text contains a method for practicing the Hundred Deities of Tushita (Ganden Lhagyama) according to the instructions of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Ganden Lhagyama is a seven-limb practice related to Lama Tsongkhapa.

    To supplement and complete this text, Lama Zopa Rinpoche has added a preliminary practice of the Four Immeasurable Thoughts, Lama Tsongkhapa’s lamrim prayer The Foundation of All Good Qualities, and two visualizations to do while reciting the five-line migtsema prayer—one for purifying negative karma and one for achieving the seven types of wisdom.

    This text is suitable for the preliminary practice of collecting 100,000 recitations of the migtsema prayer. It can also be used as the basis for other preliminary practices.

    FPMT

    The FPMT is an organization devoted to preserving and spreading Mahayana Buddhism worldwide by creating opportunities to listen, reflect, meditate, practice and actualize the unmistaken teachings of the Buddha and based on that experience spreading the Dharma to sentient beings. We provide integrated education through which people’s minds and hearts can be transformed into their highest potential for the benefit of others, inspired by an attitude of universal responsibility and service. We are committed to creating harmonious environments and helping all beings develop their full potential of infinite wisdom and compassion. Our organization is based on the Buddhist tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa of Tibet as taught to us by our founder, Lama Thubten Yeshe and our spiritual director, Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.

      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, PH, BH. Note that TH and ṬH are pronounced like the t in target and tr in trap respectively, not like the th in the. The PH is pronounced like the p in partial, not like the ph in pharaoh.

      Long vowels with a dash above them (Ā, Ī, Ū, Ṝ, and Ḹ) take approximately double the amount of time to pronounce versus their short counterparts (A, I, U, Ṛ, and Ḷ).

      Ṃ indicates a nasal sound. At the end of a word it is generally pronounced as an m. Ḥ indicates an h-sounding aspiration. Ṛ is pronounced similar to the ri in cringe. Ṅ is pronounced similar to the ng in king.

      For more information, please consult the FPMT Translation Services' A Guide to Sanskrit Transliteration and Pronunciation, available online: https://fpmt.org/wp-content/uploads/education/translation/guide_to_sanskrit_transliteration_and_pronunciation.pdf.
