A Commentary on "Mantras for Specific Occasions"

Mantra to Increase the Power of Recitation

* Recite this mantra before reading and reciting prayers, sutras, and so forth.

ཏདྱཐཱ།  ༀ་དྷ་རེ་དྷ་རེ་བྷནྡྷ་རེ་སྭཱཧཱ།

TAYATHĀ / OṂ DHARE DHARE BHENDHARE SWĀHĀ   (7x)

I received the oral transmission of this mantra from my guru Geshe Sengge, who was a disciple of Gonsar Rinpoche’s previous incarnation in Mongolia. If you recite it seven times before you read a Dharma text, such as Diamond Cutter Sutra, Golden Light Sutra, and so forth, it is as if you read the text millions of times. When you read the text, you should think that you are teaching it to the six-realm sentient beings, who all hear it in their own language.
