Weekly Regional Collective Prayers
For Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Auspicious Return, the Long Life
of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and World Peace
All are welcome! This is a precious opportunity for FPMT
students, staff, and volunteers across North America to
gather in unity, generating collective merit and deepening
our regional community bonds.
These practices are led by rotating facilitators from
centers and projects throughout the region.
Join us each Thursday morning for a short but powerful
30-minute collective practice which will include a rotating
schedule of:
- Chanting the Names of Manjushri for Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s auspicious return
- Tang Tong Gyalpo’s Prayer to avert war, epidemics, and famine
- Reciting Mani mantras and His Holiness’ long life prayer
Born in Scotland, in 1970, Venerable Angie
Muir obtained a Bachelor's Degree in
1992. Feeling disillusioned with her prospective career
path and life ahead of her, she left Scotland and combined
travelling with work in Asia for 3 years until in 1995 she
felt a calling to go to India to explore meditation and
find her life path. Within a few months she “had the
incredible fortune due to some previous karma” to discover
Tibetan Buddhism, and meet her main spiritual teacher
Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche (of almost 30 years) and become
ordained.
Venerable Angie has been a Buddhist nun for over 25
years. During this time, she served at Lama Zopa
Rinpoche's residences in the U.S. for 13 years. In
addition to doing various personal retreats, she has
offered service, teaching, and leading meditation at other
FPMT centers.
