Jamma: Wisdom Goddess of Compassion and Loving-Kindness

The booklet you hold in your hands contains two practices of Sherab Jamma: firstly, teachings on the Wisdom Goddess of Loving-Kindness and Compassion; secondly, the translation of a short prayer to Sherab Jamma along with instructions on how to use the prayer. Personal security remains elusive even during the most peaceful periods in history since, due to personal and collective karma, all beings in samsara suffer from their own emotional afflictions and meet with negative circumstances, which in turn triggers all kinds of fears and insecurities in each one of us. That is why the practice of Sherab Jamma, the Sovereign of Protection, remains as pertinent today as it was in the distant past when these teachings were first taught to humanity. The two very essential practices of Sherab Jamma contained here will be equally useful to all Bönpos, whether seasoned practitioners or beginners.
