Buddha Sherap Jamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love, cares for all beings as though they were her only child without any bias, prejudice, or limitation. The light of her wisdom and loving kindness shines continuously for everyone, like a bright sun that is not limited to time or location.
The Heartdrop of Jamma is short but profound text that enables one to deeply connect with Sherap Jamma in order to receive her blessings and protection. The power of reciting this text with devotion has unimaginable benefits. Within the text itself, it details some of these extraordinary benefits.
“If you recite from the beginning until the end, it is the same as reciting the Kangyur one time. If you perform the practice daily, you will attain buddhahood in this single lifetime with this body. Because this is the oral transmission of the Mother and the khandro, if you practice without hope, fear, or doubt, buddhahood is certain.
It is said that if this is written in black ink and the practice is performed regularly, after three births one will attain buddhahood. if you read this with the support of a longevity arrow, you will attain the accomplishment of longevity. If you recite the mantra to good quality water mixed with powdered, medicinal incense and then cleanse with that water, all illness and sickness caused by negative forces will be pacified and all defilements and contaminations will be purified. Having recited the mantra to a protection cord, if you fasten it around your neck or to your upper body it will protect against all harm from sharp weapons or tools. Whatever the desired wish for yourself or others, if you pray and recite with a single-pointed focus, without a doubt it will be accomplished! Thus, it is said.”
