      Mantras and Mudras

      Meditations for the hands and voice to bring peace and inner calm

      Lillian Too

      This book is written with the motivation of sharing beautiful mantras and mudras with as many people as possible that they may experience the matchless bliss of spiritual awakening . . . and is dedicated to the long life of my most precious and dearest kind lama, Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche. I also gratefully acknowledge the support of the FPMT (Federation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition), and in particular the venerable Connie Miller, who has assisted with the checking of the precious mantras included in this book. All royalties from this book will be donated to special Buddhist charities.

       My lama’s teachings are vast and profound

       When an ordinary person like me

       reflects, thinks, meditates, and communicates,

       there is always some error in understanding.

       Learned scholars,

       If you find my words err

       and my meanings mislead,

       Please be compassionate and set me right.

       Only Buddha is completely without error,

       like the sun, the sky’s radiant jewel,

       dispelling the darkness of night.

       LILLIAN TOO

       Happiness and suffering

       Are dependent

       upon your own mind,

       upon your interpretation.

       They do not come from outside,

       from others.

       All of your happiness and

       all of your suffering

       are created by you,

       your own mind.
