A Blazing Mala of Wish-Fulfilling Jewels: A Compilation of Daily Prayers from the Yungdrung Bön Religious Tradition

A Blazing Mala of Wish-fulfilling Jewels is a compilation of commonly performed prayers and practices of the Yungdrung Bon religious tradition as well as some never before translated prayers with an emphasis on female buddhas, protectors, and yogis. Being composed by realized masters, these prayers carry power beyond that of ordinary words. When performed with faith and devotion, their profundity is inconceivable. When performed in conjunction with instruction and oral transmission from an authentic Yungdrung Bön master, their power and effectiveness are exponentially multiplied. These prayers are used for awakening the heart and mind, offering devotion, accumulating merit and wisdom, removing obstacles, protecting and increasing the life force, making aspirations, and so on. The English language translations in the first half of the book are followed by the Tibetan language text and corresponding standardized phonetics to allow recitation of the Tibetan by those unable to read the Tibetan script.

The Heartdrop of Jamma, The Wise Loving Mother

The Heartdrop of Jamma, also known by the Tibetan name Jamma Nying Tik, This text is an aural transmission that was given to H.H. 22nd Menri Trizin Sonam Lodro Rinpoche by a manifestation of Jamma known as Khandro Sherap Lo Pélma, the wisdom mother who increases the intellect. In the practice of The Heartdrop of Jamma, each part of the practitioner’s body is transformed into an emanation of Jamma through the power of the syllables of her mantra. In that way, one’s entire body becomes an enlightened mandala palace of the Wise Loving Mother. It is said that reciting this text has the same benefit as reciting the entire 113 volumes of the Ka, the teachings of the buddhas.

The digest-style book includes the Tibetan language text, the corresponding phonetics to aid recitation, together with the English translation. It includes another aural transmission, this one by Khandro Sherap Lo Pélma, the prayer Removing Obstacles from the Path. This is a powerful prayer for removing obstacles of any kind. There is an appendices that provides a concise reference for the associated meanings for each of the twenty-five mantric syllables of Sherap Jamma’s mantra, as well as an overview of the Nine Ways of Bön.

The print book in color or black and white, and a color eBook is available here: The Heartdrop of JammaThe Spanish and French language translations of the text will soon be published as eBooks followed by their respective printed formats.

The Heartdrop of Si Gyal That is All-Pervasive and Clears Away Afflictive Emotions and Illness

In honor of the auspicious day of the 1st anniversary of the parinirvana of HE Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche June 2026, Nine Ways has published The Heartdrop of Si Gyal. This is commonly known as the Sipe Gyalmo Healing Waters Practice. His Eminence Yongdzin Rinpoche received the transmission for this text from Phukpa Lagan in Tibet and eventually transmitted it to both Tibetans and Westerners. Decades earlier, Tokden Gyalwa Wangden directly received this practice as an aural transmission from the fierce, enlightened goddess Si Gyal herself. The practice has been published as a coil bound text to for ease of reciting the text while also performing the healing waters ritual. Additionally, the mantric syllables have been added to aid the creation of a flag of protection according to instructions within the text. You can purchase a copy here: The Heartdrop of Si Gyal

This practice was previously published by Sacred Sky and purchase was restricted. However, many people who have received the transmission and teaching were unaware of this available translation. And so, although Nine Ways is making it available a strong recommendation has been added to not engage in the practice until transmission has been received. Denma Geshe leads this practice regularly and has stated that he will give transmission to those who need it. See the Ligmincha Texas Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DBzYSQTDy/

Forty-Three Trainings for an Enlightened Mind and Other Divine Writings

In this book, four of the 22nd Menri Trizin Kündun Sonam Lodro’s compositions have been translated into English. Forty-Three Trainings for an Enlightened Mind is a five-part composition of forty-three stanzas that provides guidance for daily living and spiritual development for practitioners.

Supplication and Experiential Song upon Perceiving the Suffering and Misery of Cyclic Existence is prose of such vivid imagery that it pierces the delusory nature of worldly things and inspires commitment to a meaningful human life and spiritual development.

The Spontaneous Wish-fulfillment of Removing Obstacles from the Path is a commonly recited prayer within the Yungdrung Bön religious tradition. Rather than a composition, this prayer was given to Kündun Sonam Lodro during a vision of the enlightened Khandro Sherap Lo Pélmo and therefore is considered an oral transmission. This prayer is recited either as a daily practice or when needed to remove problems or obstacles.

A Flowing River of Supplications and Blessings is a heartfelt homage to the places of ultimate refuge. The beauty of the writing naturally guides the mind of the reader to a state of inspiration and openness.

The English language translation of these writings is followed by the Tibetan text. Additionally, the book contains a brief biographical introduction to Kündun Sonam Lodro, an extensive list of his compositions, a brief history of Menri Monastery together with a list of its thirty-four abbots along with their associated dates.
