Pearl Of Wisdom Buddhist Prayers and Practices Book 2

Pearl of Wisdom Book 2 is for people who have already entered into practice. Although some of the practices here are deity practices, people who have not yet received empowerment may do them. However, it is advisable to do them under the instruction of a teacher. If you simply pick up this book to try it out for yourself,you will not understand the practices and their purpose. To this edition we have added three practices that are good to recite to help the deceased: the Meditation on Amitabha Buddha, Prayer to Be Reborn in the Land of Bliss,and The King of Prayers. For people who are ill, doing the practices of Medicine Buddha, White Tara and Amitabha Buddha are helpful. The Chenrezig Meditation is especially inspiring when you want to awaken compassion and the Meditation on Arya Tara is helpful when facing obstacles and difficulties. Doing the Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga before engaging in Dharma study will increase wisdom and enhance your ability to understand. Of course, reciting the prayers and practicing the meditations benefit and inspire us at other times as well!
