    About this ebook

    Anyone can do this practice. However, you are permitted to generate yourself as Thousand-Armed Chenrezig only if you have received the appropriate initiation. Otherwise, you should visualize Thousand-Armed Chenrezig above your head or in front of you.

    Composed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, this is a practice of 1,000 armed Chenrezig with the recitation of OM MANI PADME HUM, based on the Eight Verses of Thought Transformation.

    Lama Zopa Rinpoche says:

    “There are many people whose minds are totally confused and whose lives are full of problems, with them experiencing hundreds of sufferings. What they want is peace, but what they are doing is throwing themselves over the precipice into the three lower realms. I thought, therefore, that it would be beneficial if such people could at least see a short text such as this on the profound method of thought training—how to transform all undesired suffering into happiness and the path to enlightenment.

    “So, I have put this text together and added a visualization of the merit field and a motivation according to the teachings of the highly accomplished, learned yogis. Precious bodhicitta teachings such as these are priceless; the benefits they bring could never be bought by even countless galaxies full of wish-fulfilling jewels.”

      Technical Note

      Comments by the compiler or editor are contained in instruction boxes. For example:

      Recite these two verses three times.

      Italics and a small font size indicate instructions and comments found in the Tibetan text that are not meant to be recited. Words in square brackets have been added by the translator for clarification. For example:

      This is how to correctly follow the virtuous friend, [the root of the path to full enlightenment].

      A Guide to Pronouncing Sanskrit

      The following points will enable you to easily learn the pronunciation of most transliterated Sanskrit terms and mantras:

      Ś and Ṣ sounds similar to the English sh in shoe. The difference between the two is where the tongue is positioned in the mouth.

      C is pronounced similar to the ch in chap. CH is similar but is more heavily aspirated.

      Ṭ, ṬH, Ḍ, ḌH, Ṇ are retroflex letters and have no exact equivalent in English. These sounds are made by curling the tongue towards the front section of the palate. They correspond roughly to the sounds tra (Ṭ), aspirated tra (ṬH), dra (Ḍ), aspirated dra (ḌH), and nra (Ṇ).

      All consonants followed by an H are aspirated: KH, GH,
