Mantra to Pacify Anger and Dislike
Rinpoche gave this mantra to a nun to pacify her boss’s anger and dislike toward her, and also to use if other people were to get angry with her.
This advice was given to a nun at Deer Park because her boss in the jail where she worked disliked the advice she had given to a prisoner who was having suicidal thoughts. Rinpoche gave this mantra to her to pacify the boss’s anger and dislike toward her, and also to use if the prisoners were to get angry with her.
This mantra can also be used when there are problems in families, for people who are angry at you, in your work or in organizations, anywhere. Whenever you encounter problems, you can use this to change people’s minds and make them have affectionate love toward you.

White Umbrella Mantra and Deity
Lama Zopa Rinpoche has recommended reciting this mantra for protection from fear.
The Sanskrit name for the White Umbrella Deity is Ushnisha Sitatapatra [Tib: dü kar] which can also be translated as "The Victorious White Parasol." Her parasol indicates her ability to protect sentient beings from natural catastrophes, diseases, and so forth. She is white in color, because the principal means by which she accomplishes this function is the enlightenment energy of pacification.
Ushnisha Sitatapatra is a female form of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Like him in his elaborate form, she also has a thousand eyes that watch over living beings, and a thousand arms that protect and assist them. Thus she symbolizes the power of active compassion.
The mantra is:
OM SIT TA TA PA TREY HUM PHET
