Lama Zopa Rinpoche typed out advice on how to celebrate His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s birthday. In the advice, Rinpoche discusses what prayers to recite and in what order, remarking that “doing [these prayers for His Holiness the Dalai Lama] will help your practice very much; you will get the realizations of the path.” Rinpoche later requested that this advice be given to all FPMT centers, projects, and services. FPMT International Office has collated Rinpoche’s advice into this booklet, How to Do the Great Festival of His Holiness’ Birthday in the Best Possible Way.

Updated with the new alternate long life prayer, Prayers for the Long Life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibet includes all the prayers for His Holiness and Tibet found within Essential Buddhist Prayers, such as:

  • Prayers for the Long Life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama
  • Prayer that Spontaneously Fulfills all Wishes
  • Remembering the Kindness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan People, and
  • Prayer for Tibet.

Long Life Prayers for His Holiness Dalai Lama was composed by the late tutors to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Holiness Ling Rinpoche, and His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche. Translated by Gelongma Khechog Palmo in Rumtek, Sikkim. Remembering the Kindness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan People was composed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche especially for the success of His Holiness’s wishes, and in particular for the Tibetan people, and for there to be perfect peace and happiness in the world and for all sentient beings to achieve enlightenment.
