The Wheel of Great Compassion is the first book to provide Western readers with a complete understanding of the prayer wheel--an ancient and mystical practice that has long been popular with Buddhists throughout Tibet and Mongolia for its ability to bless the environment, promote healing, increase compassion, and assist practitioners on their journeys to enlightenment. This book offers a clear description of prayer wheel practice, its meaning and benefits, and its role as an essential ritual and symbol of Tibetan Buddhism. It contains a general introduction to the prayer wheel, photographs and illustrations, six commentaries by Tibetan lamas (including Lama Zopa Rinpoche), and instructions for both prayer wheel construction and proper use.

The presence of holy objects in the world transforms the minds of sentient beings and helps them realize the path to enlightenment. In addition, the preliminary practice of making tsa-tsas (devotional castings) purifies obstacles and creates positive conditions for this and future lives. This booklet contains all the instructions needed for creating tsa-tsas, including the actual practice and practical advice. "Even in this life, you will have less disease, your enjoyments will increase, and you will achieve long life and good reputation. It is the best method to betray death. Making tsa-tsas pacifies obstacles, bad conditions, accidents, and sudden diseases like heart attacks and paralysis. By making tsa-tsas you pacify enemies, interferers, and harms. You accumulate all merit, purify all obscurations, and in a future life, achieve the resultant three kayas." - Lama Zopa Rinpoche 95 pages, 2009 edition.

The Preliminary Practice of TSA-TSAS

Independently published

This practice requires the student to have permission/empowerment received from a qualified master in order to engage in the self-generation of the deity. However, it is permitted to do this practice without such an empowerment as long as you do not generate yourself as the deity. Instead, you should generate the deity at the crown of your head or in front of you instead of self-generation. 
The practice of Namgyälma removes obstacles to long life and brings powerful purification for all sentient beings. Even just reciting the Namgyälma mantra brings unimaginable benefit. Namgyälma pujas and practice help those with very severe disease. 
This book contains the Pari Shodani Maha Batsaya Nama Dharani (The Mother of the Supreme Crown Pinnacle, Victorious in All Aspects, Completely Purifying All the Bad Migrations), which was translated by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and describes the origins, benefits, and practice of Namgyälma. Also included is the Namgyälma sadhana as well as a short teaching from Rinpoche on the benefits of practicing this deity. 
Contents Include: 
- The Mother of the Supreme Crown Pinnacle 
- Meditation on Namgyälma 
- Sadhana of Namgyälma 
- Benefits of Namgyälma Practice 
- Meaning of the Namgyälma Mantra 
"There is unbelievable benefit in the practice of Namgyälma. I have translated completely the benefits of Namgyälma and the story of how the Namgyälma deity happened. It is very good if you are able to read the story and the benefits. Reciting this text is very,very powerful for purification." - Lama Zopa Rinpoche
