Like many people, Tibetans commonly say a prayer before drinking tea or food. If it is said before drinking tea, it is called chamchoe, and if said before eating a meal, it is called tomchoe.
Here is the transliteration of the Tibetan script to the English (Latin) alphabet:
Tonpa Lame Sangye Rinpoche
Kyopa Lame Damcho Rinpoche
Drenpa Lame Gendun Rinpoche
Kyabne Konchok Sumla Chodpa Bul
