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.
