Question on Serkhangma-Prayer

Post by Fee »

I would like to recite the Serkhangma prayer from the Garchen Institute blue prayer book as part of my daily practice. Since it appears to be a tantric prayer, my question is whether I need a lung for the recitation?
(I would not recite it in Tibetan. I only have an English version anyway, and that's what I would use - I don't even know if English recitation requires a lung as well).

And, since there seem to be some disciples of Garchen Rinpoche here: Is there a transmission of the Serkhangma prayer that I can find on youtube?

There's an extensive teaching and commentary series on this prayer on Garchen Rinpoche's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/GarchenBuddhi ... serkhangma.

Thank you for the link. :smile: I have already watched some teachings from it.

In it, Garchen Rinpoche also points out that it is a tantric prayer - hence my question whether a lung is required to recite it.

I couldn't find anything in my research on the net, so I was hoping to get an answer here. :shrug:
