CHANT FOR WELL-BEING | Ep. 5 | The Aspiration Prayer from “Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm" recited by Garchen Rinpoche
This short text marks the fifth episode in 84000's Sūtras for Well-Being series, a look at the sūtras traditionally recited for resilience and well-being in times of adversity, and the stories behind them. The Aspiration Prayer from “Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm" contains a set of verses spoken by the Buddha as he put an end to the epidemic of Vaiśālī, extracted from one of the two main accounts of that episode. The verses call for well-being, especially by invoking the qualities of the Three Jewels and a range of realized beings and eminent gods. The text comprises two passages from the parent work, and of these the first and longest corresponds closely to a well-known Pali text, the Ratana-sutta, widely recited for protection and blessings.
We hope this audio rendition in Tibetan by Garchen Rinpoche, and in English by Sarah K.C. Wilkinson, helps brings the power of the text alive: https://soundcloud.com/translate84000/sets
