Long Life Empowerment(from Thangtong Gyalpo and Chöjé Lingpa) - H.H. 43rd Sakya Trizin July 26, 2026

On July 26, 2026 His Holiness the 43rd Sakya Trizin Gyana Vajra Rinpoche is bestowing the Long Life Empowerment from the lineage of Thangtong Gyalpo and Chöjé Lingpa. Empowerment is given for the European Sakya Monlam in Tibetan. Sakya Friends is translating the empowerment to 11 languages including English. Donations: For supporting Sakya Friends’ ability to make empowerments and teachings available in many languages and free of charge, donations can be made via PayPal: sakyafriendsdonation@gmail.com The Monlam is not live-streamed, but Sakya Friends requested and received His Holiness' blessing for the empowerment broadcast and translation in Sakya Friends’ Zoom. This Long Life empowerment is a visionary teaching revealed by the 18th century Tertön Chöje Lingpa. Thangtong Gyalpo was a great siddha, reputed to have lived almost 130 years, and also known for his ability to eradicate disease. The blessings of this empowerment are immeasurable. It enhances health and well-being whenever our lifeforce is depleted, and it also engenders positive circumstances, merit and stability on our spiritual path. His Holiness will give a brief prayer and mantra which brings Long Life, powerful protection and blessings from Guru Rinpoche, Amitayus, Amitabha, Hayagriva and Thangtong Gyalpo. Sadhana will be shared in the Zoom chat. Details about the Long life empowerment H.H. the Sakya Trichen advised: “If we have the highest motivation to benefit all sentient beings and help them to reach enlightenment, then the practice of the Long Life mantra and the Long Life prayer [from the lineage of mahasiddha Thangtong Gyalpo] can bestow ordinary and supreme siddhis. Ordinary siddhis increase our lifespan and remove obstacles. Supreme siddhis give us progress on the Mahayana path to enlightenment.” Long Life Prayer from the lineage of mahasiddha Thangtong Gyalpo: Hri Hri Hri Amitabha, who caringly guards all beings, Amitayus, who bestows immortality to living beings, Hayagriva, the king of power, who dispels hindrances to beings, Padmasambhava, the saviour of beings in the degenerate age, Thangtong Gyalpo, who answers prayers unfailingly, I pray to you to dispel negative circumstances and obstacles. Please bestow blessings and the attainment of immortality. Long Life mantra: Om Amarani Jiwanti Guru Padma Krodha Punye Jñana Ayur Siddhi Hri Hri Hri.
