Namgyalma
The Victorious Hair of Crowned Mother Buddha - Tsuk-tor 'Namgyalma' (in Tibetan) or 'Ushnisha-Vijaya' (in Sanskrit) is one of the main three deities (along with White Tara & Amitayus) of Long Life practices in Tibetan Buddhism. The Namgyalma mantra is unbelievably powerful for purification and has infinite benefits. Namgyalma is a female bodhisattva usually depicted as white in colour, with three faces and eight arms, and Amitabha Buddha is sitting in her upper right palm, signifies that her realization is equivalent to than of Buddha Amitabha, and is bestowing the blessing of Amitabha.
Her middle face and eight arms are white, symbolizing the elimination of disasters. The yellow face on the left side symbolizes benefit and longevity and the blue face on the right side symbolizes the defeat of demons.
Her middle face and eight arms are white, symbolizing the elimination of disasters. The yellow face on the left side symbolizes benefit and longevity and the blue face on the right side symbolizes the defeat of demons.
The Mother Buddha is holding a double dorje in one hand and a rope on the other hand at heart level. While the palm of her lower right hand is facing the front to gratify people's wishes. On the left side, her first hand is tilting upward, while her second hand is grasping a bow and her lower left hand is holding an Amrita Kalasha (pot of ambrosia) with a flower in bloom.
The Merits of Namgyalma Practice

Practicing her Dharma can helps free oneself from the life threatening diseases, lengthen one's life span, |
purify their obscurations, increase their wisdom, eliminate their sins and shield them from evil omens.
The Namgyalma mantra is extremely powerful and has infinite benefits. It is the main mantra to purify and liberate beings from the lower realms, purify negative karma, and help those who are dying or have died by chanting it in their ear or placing the mantra on their body. It is said to be so powerful that anybody who hears it will never again be born from the womb. Therefore, if animals hear it, they will never again be reborn in the lower realms.

What is Tsa Tsa? Tsa Tsas are buddha statues and relief images,
often made of clay. The (sadhana) practice of making tsa tsas as a meditation-in-action, with mantra chanting, right motivation, all employed as skillful means in this overall method in eliminating obstacles, purifying negativities,
and creating positive energy (merit). These tsa tsas are placed inside stupas, treasure vases, on altars, shrines and other holy places such as sacred caves, sacred lakes and pilgrimage sites, or kept in Gau (tibetan treasure locket) worn around the neck or kept at altar places. The commonly seen & widespread ones are made with just clay or plaster
without any special ingredients added. These clay tsa-tsas can be plain-looking or colorfully painted with the appropriate colors for each type of deity or buddha. Often, these can be seen displayed in buddhist religious supply stores for a few dollars for small size tsa tsa or fifteen to over thirty dollars for the larger size ones. Antique shops and auction houses such as Sothebys in offering the range of Tibetan arts (statues, jewelry, furniture & religious artifacts) have treated old tsa tsas like commodities to be bought and sold like any other treasures, going for many hundreds of dollars, for a small piece of old clay. Occasionally, in fund-raising initiatives, donations are sought for various buddhist center projects, whereby specially made limited quantity tsa tsas containing precious relics and rare blessed items are offered for sponsorships. There are also workshops conducted where participants learn how to make their own tsa tsas. There are many varieties of tsa tsa - the 'relics containing' tsa-tsas have relics of great masters and collection of relic treasures passed down through the centuries by the various lineages. Other type of tsa tsa, often in the form of a stupa shape,
has ashes from the cremated remains of the deceased loved ones. These tsa tsas are often put in between crevices of rocks in caves at holy sites, for example. Medicine tsa-tsas, which can be used as healing amulets, have many rare & precious medicinal materials added. At various occasions, tsa-tsas are made, not just with clay, but with a long list of added precious blessed ingredients, such as the relics of great masters, medicinal herbs, botanicals, earth soil from sacred sites & water from sacred lakes; and consecrated in puja ceremonies.

The Namgyalma Mantra
Namgyalma is a deity for long life and purification. Her mantra has infinite benefits. It is said to be so powerful that anybody who hears it will never again be born from the womb. Therefore, if animals hear it, they will never again be reborn in the lower realms.
There is a story from the time Guru Shakyamuni Buddha was on earth concerning a deva called Paripu Denpa. Due to karma, when devas start experiencing the signs of death, they spontaneously remember their previous lives and see their future lives; they perceive that they are about to be reborn in the lower realms and so forth. Since their realm has unbelievable enjoyments thousands of times better than those of the richest country on earth, when they realize that they are about to leave a life of such pleasure and be reborn where there is incredible suffering, their minds suffer greatly.
Thus, as he was dying, the deva Denpa saw that he was about to be reborn as six types of animal—dog, monkey and so forth. Very worried, he asked King Indra what to do. King Indra suggested that he see the Buddha, which he did. Buddha manifested as the deity Namgyalma and gave him the mantra. Denpa recited it six times daily and in seven days completely changed his karma so that he did not have to be reborn as those six types of animal. The Namgyalma mantra is unbelievably powerful for purification. I have translated its benefits and explained how to recite it for people who have cancer and other diseases.
The kind, compassionate Guru Shakyamuni Buddha taught the benefits of reciting the Namgyalma mantra to the Four Guardian Kings. Even if you are in danger of dying because the karma that determines your life-span is running out, if you wash your body, wear clean clothes and, abiding in the eight precepts, recite the Namgyalma mantra one thousand times, you can increase your life-span, purify your obscurations and free yourself from disease.
If you recite the Namgyalma mantra into the ear of an animal, you ensure that this is its last animal rebirth. If somebody suffering from a heavy disease that doctors cannot diagnose does the practice Lord Buddha taught to the deva Denpa, he or she will be liberated from that disease, bring to an end all future rebirths in the lower realms, and after death be reborn in a blissful pure land. For humans, the present life will be their last rebirth from the womb.
If you recite this mantra twenty-one times, blow upon mustard seeds and throw them onto the bones of even extremely evil beings who have created many heavy negative karmas, those beings will immediately be liberated from the lower realms and be reborn in a higher realm, such as that of a deva. Throwing seeds blessed by the Namgyalma mantra onto the bones or body of a dead being purifies that being’s consciousness, and even though that being may have been reborn in hell or any other lower realm, that being can be reborn in a deva realm.
If you put this mantra in a stupa or on a banner inside your house or above the roof, whoever is touched by even the shadow of that stupa or banner will not be reborn in the lower realms. Also, any being touched by a breeze that has first touched a stupa, banner or statue containing this mantra is purified of the karma to be reborn in the lower realms. What need is there to mention, therefore, how great the purification experienced by those who recite this mantra or keep it on their body.
