his short text marks the fifth episode in 84000's Sūtras for Well-Being series, a look at the sūtras traditionally recited for resilience and well-being in times of adversity, and the stories behind them. The Aspiration Prayer from “Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm" contains a set of verses spoken by the Buddha as he put an end to the epidemic of Vaiśālī, extracted from one of the two main accounts of that episode. The verses call for well-being, especially by invoking the qualities of the Three Jewels and a range of realized beings and eminent gods. The text comprises two passages from the parent work, and of these the first and longest corresponds closely to a well-known Pali text, the Ratana-sutta, widely recited for protection and blessings. 

We hope this audio rendition in English, by Sarah K.C. Wilkinson, helps brings the power of the text alive, and we encourage you to visit our Sūtras for Well-Being page for more on this series includings our IGTV video episodes: 84000.co/wellbeing

CV Ngakma Yumma Mudra

Daughter of Hungarian sculptor Laszlo Szabo and a dancer since the age of three, Yumma Mudra joined the Russian ballet Irina Grjebina at the age of twelve. After intense media exposure in 1981 with the "Myriam" campaign, she gave up her career as an artist and model to devote herself fully to the study of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma and Khagyu lineages under the guidance of her principal masters: Chogyam Trungpa RInpoche, Dilgo Khyentse RInpoche, Khenpo Tsultrim RInpoche & Ringu Tulku Rinpoche.

 After 4 years of solitary spiritual retreats punctuated by extensive travel, she began her journey in Chogyam Trungpa's centers to deepen her understanding of the 5 Wisdoms and the principles of contemplative psychology founded by Edward Podvoll. In 2004, she founded the nomadic school Danza Duende Network, a deep alchemical training through Dance.

Her commitment to living Art as a way of life came to fruition when she met Michel Raji, the Choresopher, for an "inner experience of gesture through the activation of Breath".

The author of two books - her autobiography, La voie qui danse, and a novel, L'île de Bee ou La béance des sens - Ngakma Yumma Mudra is currently training at home in the Mahayoga Tantras of Niguma and Naropa, under the guidance of Lama Glenn Mullin.
