@shopaholicS2 ...that means: "I take refuge in precious Lama / I take refuge in Yidams and their fields of power / I take refuge in the victorious Buddhas / I take refuge in teachings bond to enlightment / I take refuge in enlightened Sangha / I take refuge in protectors of Dharma and activity givers."

@shopaholicS2 in Karma Kagyu lineage, the mantra is "Palden Lama dam pa nam la kyab sun chio / Yidam chilkkor yi la sok nam la kyab sun chio / Sangye chom dem de nam la kyab sun chio / Dam Pai chü nam la kyab sun chio / pag Pai Gendün nam la chyab sun chio / Phawo Khandro chü tsok sung mat sok yeshe shi, chendam dem pa nam la kyab sun chio"

what is the most common saying people repeat when they prostrate?

[Chozangsengge]

You are just sheep to your evil moon god,

We buddhists are becoming unlimited buddhas *

Prostrations are for cleaning of the energy channels...

[Chozangsengge]
