These mantras were recommended by Lama Zopa Rinpoche to bring benefit to the people of Spain. Compiled by Ven. Holly Ansett from Rinpoche’s instructions given in Madrid, Spain, on April 29, 2019.
Mantra from The Sutra of Great Liberation
It is taught by 8,000 billion buddhas that if you criticize this mantra, you are criticizing all the buddhas and enlightenment cannot be achieved. If you hear this mantra or recite this mantra with devotion even only one time a day, until enlightenment is achieved you won’t be born in the lower realms and you will achieve enlightenment gradually. This is the truthful advice by the non-cheating Virtuous One.

Dedication Prayers (brief)
For a Good Rebirth
Due to all the past, present, and future merits collected by me and all the merits of the three times collected by numberless buddhas and numberless sentient beings, may these sentient beings never, ever be reborn in the lower realms. May they be reborn in a pure land where they can be enlightened or at least receive a perfect human body, meet a perfectly qualified guru who reveals the unmistaken path to enlightenment, and, by only pleasing the virtuous friend, achieve enlightenment as quickly as possible.
