Question
Hello
I was wondering if you knew the proper pronunciation of the Palden Lhamo Mantra. I'm a bit confused with Tibetan lettering.

Thank you for your time

Answer
Hi Jessica
I am not prepared to comment on practice texts on here
in a general way. The pronounciatin of mantra is not
a simple phonetic exercise and would require you
working with a Lama who has himseful the transmission
and instructions for that particular Mantra. So if you
have receive the Mantra from a qualified Lama in the correct way you should address your comments to him
or her. If not Id advice you to leave it alone.
