A Brief Version of the 'Chinese' Practice of Averting Periodic Obstacles

Generally as per Bhutanese astrology our welfare for the year will be either good or bad depending on the ruling animal sign of the year. For example this year the animal sign is Female Pig and as such all female animal signs viz Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Sheep and Bird are in bad phase. Further, there are like, Dunzur, Thunsum, Gumin, Loka, Lonag, Namgo, Sago calculated based on current element and year. 

To pacify such bad phase once has to recite many sutras and one effective sutra is Jana Kado, which is full of mantras, and need an experienced reciter.

But good news is if you recite daily the following brief version of Jana Kado, all astrological effects will be pacified.

A Brief Version of the 'Chinese' Practice of Averting Periodic Obstacles
by Mipham Rinpoche
སྨྲ་བའི་སེངྒེས་བདག་རྒྱུད་བྱིན་གྱིས་རློབས། 
mawé sengé dak gyü chin gyi lop
Lion of Speech, inspire us with your blessings!
སྲི་ཀེག་ཐན་ལྟས་ངན་པ་བསྒྱུར་དུ་གསོལ། 
si kek ten té ngenpa gyur du sol
We request you: transform si demons, periodic obstacles,3 bad signs and evil omens!
རྒྱལ་པོའི་ཆད་པ་ཕས་ཀྱི་འཇིགས་པ་སོགས། 
gyalpö chépa pé kyi jikpa sok
And avert all punishment by decree, fear of adversaries,
མཚང་འབྲུ་རྩོད་དང་རྒོལ་བ་བཟློག་ཏུ་གསོལ། 
tsang dru tsö dang gölwa dok tu sol
Exposure of faults, disagreement and dispute, we pray!
