Current Activities at Thupten Shedrub Jangchub Ling

April 26, 2020 by

Vajra Armor (Dorje Gotrab) – Wrathful Black Hayagriva
One of the pujas done the past few weeks at Thupten Shedrub Jangchub Ling Monastic Institute in Bylakuppe

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.

Liberation of Dead Beings and Shitro Puja

March 3, 2020 by
Shitro Mandala 2017 Neydren Ceremony

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beginning on March 3, Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery in Bylakuppe, South India will hold the annual Shitro (100 Peaceful and Wrathful Deities) Puja to celebrate the beginning of the new year. The puja concludes on Chotrul Duchen, March 9, the celebration of the time when Buddha displayed miracles to increase his disciples’ devotion. On Great Wheel Days such as this, it is believed that the effects of positive actions are multiplied ten million times.

Ayang Rinpoche said about the 100 Peaceful and Wrathful Deities practice:

“It is the essence of the 6,400,000 Dzogchen tantras, and merely hearing this teaching cuts through birth in the lower realms; merely understanding it causes one to travel to the ground of great bliss (mahasukha); bringing its meaning to mind causes one to accomplish the irreversible state of the spontaneously arisen awareness holder.  For everyone who connects with this teaching there will be great purpose and meaning.” (H.E. Ayang Rinpoche, 2009, Trans. Tyler Dewar).

The Shitro puja includes the Ceremony to Liberate Dead Beings Anyone who would like to make offerings and dedicate prayers to family members, friends, loved ones or pets who have passed, this is the best opportunity. Names must be received by Saturday, March 7 at 5 pm (Pacific time) to be included in the prayer list for the Liberation Ceremony, but offerings are welcome at any time.

 

To make offerings, use the link below or send a check made out to Amitabha Foundation to P.O. Box 2572, Aptos, California 95001. Donations sent through the Amitabha Foundation are tax deductible in the US.
