Prayer before meals

Post by mahabuddha »

Is there a standard vajrayana prayer before meals?

Thanks,

This is the standard Tibetan prayer - it's not specifically vajrayana:

TUN PA LA MAY SANG GYÉ RINPOCHÉ
The unsurpassable teacher is the precious Buddha.

KYOP PA LA MAY DAM CHÖ RIN PO CHÉ
The unsurpassable protector is the precious Dharma.

DREN PA LA MAY GEN DÜN RIN PO CHÉ
The unsurpassable refuge is the precious Sangha.

KYAB NÉ KÖN CHOK SUM LA CHÖ PA BOL
To these Three Jewels, we make this offering.
