This audio features the tunes in Tibetan-language of A Long Life Prayer for Lama Zopa Rinpoche composed by Khandro Kunga Bhuma.
The tunes were created by Bhutanese musicians Pema Samdrup and Pema Lhamo. An audio and video recordings of Vens. Dechen and Gyalten were made during the Bodhicaryavatara and Rinjung Gyatsa Retreat at the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Benidgo, Australia, to help facilitate students learning the tune.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche asked that these recordings be played at big retreats during break times or while students are waiting in the gompa. He also asked that both or either of these tunes be learned and used when offering the prayer.
We invite all students of Rinpoche to learn the tune as quickly as possible.

Audio Sample:
Amoghapasha, is a deity connected to Avalokiteshvara (Tib. Chenrezig), the Buddha of Compassion. There are unbelievable benefits in just seeing his image and reciting his mantra. (can link to the image here) Recalling this Lotus Pinnacle of Amoghapasha mantra just once has the power to purify even the five uninterrupted negative karmas. It prevents rebirth in Avici, the heaviest of hells.
Whoever sees, hears, remembers, or touches this mantra will be purified of all negativities and gain freedom from rebirth in the lower realms—from the Ksitigarbha Dasacakra Sutra.
The Lotus Pinnacle of Amoghapasha mantra is also included in the collection of the Five Powerful Mantras for Liberating Sentient Beings from the Lower Realms, and the Ten Powerful Mantras for the Time of Death.
Here is an explanation of the meaning of the mantra by Geshe Ngawang Dakpa.
