Lama Zopa Rinpoche advises FPMT centers and study groups to do the practice of Sur regularly.

Rinpoche strongly emphasizes the importance of this practice in helping centers clear obstacles and create merit by making charity to the sentient beings of the 6 realms. Rinpoche said that this practice is very beneficial in general for sentient beings and in particular for pretas.

Once the practice is started it is important to try to do it every day. The best time to do it is in the evening. Rinpoche said centers could set up a roster system, having individuals or small groups taking responsibility to do the practice of Sur for a period of time.
