This year we join the global Tibetan Buddhist community in celebrating the 80th birthday of His Holiness Kyabgon Gongma Trichen Rinpoche. This milestone holds deep significance in Tibetan tradition, marking a time to honour His Holiness with heartfelt prayers for his good health, long life, and the continued flourishing of the Dharma.

Earlier this year, a humble request was made for students to engage in the recitation, accumulation, and meditation of specific prayers dedicated to the long life and well-being of His Holiness. This collective practice serves as a profound way to generate the main causes for his continued vitality.

To support the efforts of devoted disciples, the Sachen Foundation, in collaboration with the 80th Year Organizing Committee and under the guidance of His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin Rinpoche, has compiled a special prayer book.

This compilation includes recommended prayers and dedications, presented in Tibetan, Tibetan transliteration, and English translation, allowing practitioners from all backgrounds to participate.

We encourage everyone to join in this auspicious occasion by including these prayers into your practice, helping to ensure His Holiness continues to turn the wheel of Dharma far and wide. You can submit your total number of requested recitations to gyaton2024@gmail.com or add your contribution here https://sakyapa.eu/hh41-80th-long-life/.
