The Guru Rinpoche Mantra is a sacred mantra in Tibetan Buddhism that is used to invoke the blessings of Guru Rinpoche. The mantra is "Om Ah Hung Benza Guru Pema Siddhi Hung."
The mantra is believed to have the power to remove obstacles and negative karma, increase one's positive merits, and bring about transformation. It is also chanted to honor and pay homage to Guru Rinpoche, who is revered as a great master of the Vajrayana tradition and a pioneer of Buddhism in Tibet.
The mantra is often chanted during meditation or recited as part of daily practice. Many practitioners believe that the recitation of the mantra with devotion and sincerity can bring about blessings and protection.
About Mantra Recitation:
To accumulate mantra recitations, one must repeatedly recite the chosen mantra with full concentration and devotion.
One common method of accumulating mantra recitations is through the use of prayer beads, also known as a mala. The mala typically has 108 beads and is used to keep track of the number of times the mantra is recited. One starts at the bead next to the guru bead (a larger bead that marks the beginning and end of the mala) and moves clockwise, using the thumb to count each bead as the mantra is recited.
Another way to accumulate mantra recitations is through group practice, such as during a retreat or with a sangha. In such settings, practitioners may recite the mantra together for a designated amount of time.
Join our weekly group practice session.
Ultimately, the key to accumulating mantra recitations is to approach the practice with devotion, sincerity, and consistency. By committing to regular practice and dedicating the merit of one's recitations to the benefit of all beings, one can cultivate a deeper connection to the mantra and the transformative power it holds.

Download the Tibetan & English Prayer
"The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Wishes" is a prayer in Tibetan Buddhism believed to bring blessings. It is a supplication to Guru Rinpoche and is said to be particularly effective in preventing natural disasters and calamities. The prayer is often recited during times of environmental crises, and it is considered to be an important part of the prevention measures outlined in the Tibetan Buddhist prophecy for the coming years.
Here is a general guide for practicing “The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Wishes”:
Set your motivation: Before you begin any practice, it's essential to set your motivation. You can do this by reflecting on your intention for practicing the prayer, such as to generate positive merit to benefit all beings.
Visualize: As you recite the prayer, visualize Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) and his consort, Yeshe Tsogyal, surrounded by light and blessings. Visualize yourself and all beings being blessed by their wisdom, compassion, and power.
Recite the prayer: Begin reciting the prayer aloud or silently, focusing on the words and their meaning. You can use a mala to count your recitations or recite for a set period of time, such as 10 or 20 minutes.
Dedicate the prayer: After you finish reciting the prayer, take a moment to dedicate the positive merit you have generated to the benefit of all beings. You can do this by simply thinking, "May the merit of this practice benefit all beings."
Remember that the power of the prayer comes not just from the recitation itself but from the intention and motivation behind it. By practicing with a sincere desire to benefit others, you can create a powerful stream of positive energy that can bring about real change in the world.

Click here to receive a tsatsa for a suggested donation of $40
In 2023, Tulku Sangak Rinpoche spent fifteen days consecrating tsatsas through the Pema Gyalpo, Kshitigarbha, and the Fierce Guru Kilaya practices. Then, Namchak Khen Rinpoche spent two months blessing the tsatsas through the Pema Gyalpo, Spontaneous Fulfillment of Wishes, and Vajrakilaya practices.
This ritual was carried out according to a lineage with a pure source that goes back to the Buddha through Guru Rinpoche down to us and was accomplished authentically with all the qualities of deity, mantra, and samadhi.
The tsatsas are small stupas mentioned in the methods for averting the prophesied dangers.
There are two tsatsas available to be placed:
Gold: These are to be placed on your altar. When you place them there, you should recite the short Spontaneous Fulfillment of Wishes prayer to Guru Rinpoche and some Tara prayers. If you do not have a good place inside your home, these can also be placed outside in a clean area where they will not be disturbed by others (in your yard, for example, but not left in a public space.)
Black: Place these on the peaks of the highest hills or mountains. Please put them amid large rocks or boulders where passersby will not disturb them. When you place them, you should recite the short Spontaneous Fulfillment of Wishes prayer to Guru Rinpoche and some Tara prayers. These may also be dropped in deep lakes or the ocean.
