Many participants at the 2012 Rimay Monlam remarked on the beautiful melodies used to recite a selection of the prayers in Tibetan.

By popular request, Tulku Sherdor, with the assistance and support of renowned classical guitarist and Rimay Monlam guest performer Frederic Hand, along with Lesley Hand, went into Area 52 Studios to work with professional sound engineer Dave Cook (who has worked most recently with Natalie Merchant, Graham Parker, and many other accomplished musicians) to record a full set of melodies that can be used with the Book of Common Tibetan Buddhist Prayers, the template for the Rimay Monlam.

Listen to or chant along with these beautiful melodies used with the Tibetan versions of many of the prayers recited in the Rimay Monlam!

Professing The Qualities of Manjusri

The very first entry in the tantra section of the Buddhist canon translated into Tibetan, right before the Kalachakra root tantra, is the Jampal Tsenjod ('jam dpal ye shes sems dpa'i don dam pa'i mtshan yang dag par brjod pa) — Professing the Qualities of Manjusri.

New and Expanded Second Edition

Every year, Buddhist "great prayer festivals" are held in Bodh Gaya, in Tibet, and in other sacred spots around the world. A Book of Common Tibetan Buddhist Prayers is a compilation of English-language translations of the very highest quality of important aspiration prayers and sutras commonly recited during these festivals, and in daily practice in hundreds of monasteries and dharma centers throughout the world.

Also included are classical and modern praises to Buddha Shakyamuni and to Manjusri, special aspirations for each major dharma tradition of Tibet, a general aspiration by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, and a lovely new long life prayer for His Holiness.  All translations are accompanied by easy-to-use phonetic versions of the Tibetan texts.
