Let me put it this way. If you want a really long neck, best to be a giraffe. Guaranteed. If you want to fly, be a bird. But, honey, if you want to work with your mind, become a better person, be in charge of your life, probably best to be a human. - Ven. Robina

Practices for Robina

< back

In early 2021, students of Ven. Robina requested practices to continue to create the conditions for her good health and long life from Yangsi Rinpoche, the President of Maitripa College in Portland, Oregon. Yangsi Rinpoche is a good friend of Ven. Robina’s.

If you would like to do the prayers and practices, here are Rinpoche’s suggestions:

Prayer to the Lion-Face Dakini

The Heart Sutra

Dharani Extremely Conquering from Bondage

Hayagriva mantra

Please dedicate the recitations to Ven. Robina’s long life and perfect health. Here you will find a long-life prayer composed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche in 2006 at the request of Ven. Robina’s students:

A Prayer for the Long Life of Ven. Robina Courtin
