Thank you for sharing this Hilary.  This is great to know about – especially in these modern time when many have lots of work and family responsibilities to balance with their Dharma practice throughout the day!

Can this be recited before the Great Cloud of Blessings?

[Diana Carey]

Thanks Hilary :-)

Would one start with this before 7 line supplication? I mean as the very first thing to initiate the practice sesssion? Or after 7 line supplication?

Hi Dharma friends,

Phakchok Rinpoche confirmed that Guru Rinpoche himself taught this magnifying mantra and it is found in the Chokling Tersar tradition.

There is no visualization necessary.  Rinpoche also said that you can recite this before you begin your mantra recitation, or before any other prayers-such as the Cloud of Blessings as Kelly asked above–or before the 7 line Supplication if you are reciting that supplication prayer as Diana asked.

When Rinpoche recited in the course of a sadhana practice session such as the Concise Daily Practice, he inserted it directly before the mantra recitation.

We will work on getting you a clear audio recording of the mantra!

Thank you Hilary (and of course, Rinpoche-la!)
One last (for now) question:
Let’s imagine I’m doing Concise Daily Practice, so I insert this directly before the mantra recitation. Then at the end of my practice session, I am accumulating the Cloud of Blessings. Do I repeat the mantra before the Cloud of Blessings, or is it still “active” from before?

[Diana Carey]

Thanks Hilary!
Good question Kelly :-) about whether you need to activate it again :-)

Hi all,

We’re preparing a post to answer your questions–including a short video clip from Rinpoche.  Coming shortly on a wisdom blog.  Thanks to all of you for your enthusiasm and interest in this topic!

Thank you!
