Practice during total solar eclipse

Tomorrow there is a total solar eclipse. It will begin at 18:17 UK time and will reach its maximum at around 19:12 before ending at about 20:06 UK time. It is said that during a solar eclipse (not the whole day), merits are multiplied 100 millionfold.

To support our fellow Bönpo practitioners, we have made this prayer available GRATIS HERE.

In our text, it says Tajik and then Kashmir. Kashmir is translated into Tibetan as Kache.[4] These countries are quite closely joined. So this first Drenpa Namkha was there.
