About this ebook
Anyone can do this practice. Instructions for visualization are included in the text.
This text contains a method for practicing the Hundred Deities of Tushita (Ganden Lhagyama) according to the instructions of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Ganden Lhagyama is a seven-limb practice related to Lama Tsongkhapa.
To supplement and complete this text, Lama Zopa Rinpoche has added a preliminary practice of the Four Immeasurable Thoughts, Lama Tsongkhapa’s lamrim prayer The Foundation of All Good Qualities, and two visualizations to do while reciting the five-line migtsema prayer—one for purifying negative karma and one for achieving the seven types of wisdom.
This text is suitable for the preliminary practice of collecting 100,000 recitations of the migtsema prayer. It can also be used as the basis for other preliminary practices.

A Guide to Pronouncing Sanskrit
The following points will enable you to easily learn the pronunciation of most transliterated Sanskrit terms and mantras:
Ś and Ṣ sounds similar to the English sh
in shoe.
The difference between the two is where the tongue is positioned in the mouth.
C is pronounced similar to the ch
in chap.
CH is similar but is more heavily aspirated.
Ṭ, ṬH, Ḍ, ḌH, Ṇ are retroflex letters and have no exact equivalent in English. These sounds are made by curling the tongue towards the front section of the palate. They correspond roughly to the sounds tra
(Ṭ), aspirated tra
(ṬH), dra
(Ḍ), aspirated dra
(ḌH), and nra
(Ṇ).
All consonants followed by an H are aspirated: KH, GH, CH, JH, TH, DH, PH, BH. Note that TH and ṬH are pronounced like the t
in target
and tr
in trap
respectively, not like the th
in the.
The PH is pronounced like the p
in partial,
not like the ph
in pharaoh
.
Long vowels with a dash above them (Ā, Ī, Ū, Ṝ, and Ḹ) take approximately double the amount of time to pronounce versus their short counterparts (A, I, U, Ṛ, and Ḷ).
Ṃ indicates a nasal sound. At the end of a word it is generally pronounced as an m.
Ḥ indicates an h
-sounding aspiration. Ṛ is pronounced similar to the ri
in cringe.
Ṅ is pronounced similar to the ng
in king.
