Dzambhala Offering Puja November 2-6

Dzambhala, an emanation of Buddha Ratnasambhava, 
whose enlightened activity is increasing and whose essence is generosity. 

Ayang Rinpoche will hold the annual Dzambhala, or Wealth Deity Offering Prayer, November 2-6, at his monastery in South India, Thupten Shedrub Jangchub Ling.

The offering prayer is also referred to as a Yangdrup, meaning a ritual to generate “Yang”, the powerful magnetizing properties associated with fortune and luck. This in turn creates all opportunities to ensure accomplishment in spiritual practice, as well as an abundance of wealth, prosperity, success, good fortune, luck, long life and wisdom in a person’s personal, business and family life.
People who wish to dedicate prayers for their loved ones, including pets, living or passed, may donate towards tormas, butter lamps, tsog, tea, meals, offerings for monks and nuns, or other puja expenses, by sending in their contributions through Amitabha Foundation in their own country, directly to the monastery’s account, or by donating online here.

Current Activities at Thupten Shedrub Jangchub Ling

Vajra Armor (Dorje Gotrab) – Wrathful Black Hayagriva

The monastery has been on lockdown since March 18th, about a week earlier than the rest of the country. We hear that everyone in the monastery is currently well.

 

 

In March, Rinpoche presided over the annual pujas to accumulate 100,000 Tsok offerings for each of the Dharma Protectors: Achi Chökyi Drölma, Mahakala and Tsimar.

 

As a response to the Coronavirus pandemic, Rinpoche gave all monks the Oral Transmission Blessing (lung) for the practice of Parnashavari, the Tara emanation who protects from contagious diseases.

 

The monastery also practiced Vajra Armor (Dorje Gotrab). Guru Rinpoche said that those who practice this mantra will have vajra protection from all contagious and epidemic diseases, and be immune to the 404 types of illness, 80,000 obstructors and demonic forces.

 

Anyone who would like to support the monastery at this time is welcome to make an online donation here.

The annual Dzambhala puja, also called Yangdrup, at Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery in Bylakuppe will be held this year from November 20-26.

Dzambhala practice is said to bring wealth, prosperity, success, good fortune and luck, long life and wisdom. He is depicted holding a mongoose spouting jewels.
