This audio features Lama Zopa Rinpoche reciting the Clouds of Offerings Mantra.

This mantra is not only for blessing, it also has the power to multiply the offerings. There are numberless buddhas and by reciting this mantra each buddha receives skies of offerings. The mantra has two functions: blessing and increasing. 

Lama Zopa Rinpoche said that remembering this mantra once, you receive eight benefits:

1. You have made offerings to buddhas equaling the number of atoms of the sand grains of River Ganga who are abiding in the ten directions.
2. You have prostrated at the holy feet of all those buddhas.
3. You have made offerings of flowers, incense, flower garlands, ornaments, ointments, Dharma robes, umbrellas, banners, flags, animals, cushion covers, divine dress, food, various ornaments, and so forth to all those buddhas.
4. You will become free from all negative karmas and obscurations.
5. You will have all virtue.
6. You will see all the buddhas and bodhisattvas and they will “give you breath,” meaning they will free you from the suffering of the lower realms and so forth.
7. Devas, nagas, yakhas, smell-eaters, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, maharogas, Vajrapani (Owner of Secrets), and the Four Guardians will always accompany, guard, protect, and hide you from obstacles.
8. You will be reborn in Amitabha Buddha’s pure land, Blissful Realm.
