This recording can be taken as an oral transmission.

This album contains the oral transmission (*lung) of the The Flowing Water of the Ganga: A Thorough Praise of the Thirty-Five Buddhas granted by Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

Ngulchu Dharmabhadra's The Flowing Water of the Ganga: A Thorough Praise of the Thirty-Five Sugatas is a versified homage to the Thirty-Five Confession Buddhas, which has been expanded by Lama Zopa Rinpoche to include the recitation of the names of the Medicine Buddhas, as well as the confession prayer from the Bodhisattva's Confession of Moral Downfalls (also known as the Confession of a Bodhisattva's Downfalls to the Thirty-Five Buddhas).

Several authentic lineages for visualizing the Thirty-Five Confession Buddhas exist within the Gelug tradition. These include: a system stemming from Nagarjuna and Taranatha; a system stemming from Lama Tsongkhapa; and a system taught by teachers such as Sakya Pandita and explained by Phabongkha Dechen Nyingpo in Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand. This latter system of visualization as taught by Phabongkha, which is based on the five types (or families) of buddhas, is the commonly practiced version in the FPMT.

The Flowing Water of the Ganga, on the other hand, describes these buddhas according to Nagarjuna's tradition of visualization. The text included with this album describes the color of the buddhas, their hand implements, the pure lands in which the buddhas reside, as well as the specific negative karmas that the recitation of their names purify.

This audio album is extracted from the 
Oral Transmission of 'The Flowing Water of the Ganga,' video 66 of Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Teachings on Thought Transformation during the time of COVID-19 at Kopan Monastery, Nepal:


*A lung (pronounced “loong”) is the oral transmission of a text, mantra, or practice by an authorized lineage holder. Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave permission to take this transmission online. If you consciously decide to listen to this recording as oral transmissions (lung), then you are able to take it as such. Please be aware that if you decide to do this, it means you are creating a guru-disciple relationship.
