Grand Healing Puja 2012 by the Great Healing Lama

We are extremely pleased and excited about the upcoming grand healing puja event in Marina Bay Sands. Everyone is geared up to welcoming a Living Buddha, the popular 92-year-old Great Healing Lama,  His Eminence Kangyur Rinpoche Lobsang Choephel back to Singapore for the 4th time.

From Rinpoche's previous visits to Singapore in 2007, 2008 and 2010, many people and devotees have been requesting and looking forward to have the Great Healing Lama back again.  This is because many patients have been healed whenever Rinpoche visits.  We have heard of and witnessed many miraculous healing stories from the patients. 

As Kangyur Rinpoche is already 92 years old, he has informed Gaden Shartse Dro-Phen Ling (the organiser for this event) that this will be his final trip to Singapore. I really hope all my readers who are reading this post would be able to attend his healing pujas, receive his healing and blessings. And especially I hope to reach out to many more people who are sick to be able to attend this event.  Please spread this news around to your family, relatives and friends.  May everyone treasure this opportunity and make time to attend. 

First to kick off on 11 August 2012 (before the Grand Healing Puja 2012 event in MBS on 18-20 August), would be the 2 Fire Pujas to be held on the open field grounds next to Eunos MRT. 


TWO FIRE PUJAS OF PEACE & INCREASE

Date: 11 August 2012 (Saturday)
Venue: The open field tentage next to Eunos MRT
Preparations - 3:00-5.00pm
Peace & Increase Fire Pujas - 7:30-9.30pm

A fire puja is a Buddhist ritual that purifies the environment, bestows blessings on the participants, and promotes world peace and harmony.  There are 4 types of ritual fire offerings:
(1)    Peaceful
(2)    Increase
(3)    Subduing
(4)    Forceful

There are four objects of offering, the offering to deities being the main focus:
Offering to (1) all Buddha, Bodhisattvas and deities
Offering to (2) Protectors and highly-realized godly beings
Giving to (3) all sentient beings
Giving to (4) all spirits and hungry ghosts.
     
The fire puja is a very special ritual, it is considered to be the King of Pujas amongst all others in Tibetan Buddhism. The general purpose of the offering is to remove obstacles to enlightenment by removing stains left by ordinary unwholesome actions, especially broken pledges, and to prevent all inauspicious circumstances.

1. Peace Fire Puja
Peaceful ritual fire offering may be performed to pacify the results of unwholesome action, or to clear away obstacles and defilements. It may also be done to forestall impending difficulties and illnesses which have manifested themselves through dreams and inauspicious omens.

Fire puja ingredients to be offered
2. Increase Fire Puja
Participating in this Increase ritual fire puja can increase our merits, health, lifespan, wisdom, wealth and the wisdom of hearing, thinking and meditating. All auspicious things will grow and expand.

Significance of each Offering
Each offering also has a specific purpose. Offering melted butter is to increase life span, merit and prosperity. Sesame seeds are offered to remove non-virtues, couch grass to increase the life span, rice to increase merit, rice with curd to increase happiness, kusha grass for protecting from impurities, mustard seeds to clear obstacles, coarse un-husked barley to increase wealth, barley to gain rapid accomplishments, lentils to increase strength, and wheat to overcome illness. The sticks remove obstacles to one’s well being and high status. The many mixed or ‘special’ substances increase wisdom. The highest accomplishment which is common to the aims of all these offerings is enlightenment.

Grand Naga-Appeasing Peace & Healing Puja
Specially for pleasing nagas & pacifying naga attacks. For ideal efficacy of the puja, kindly be vegetarian to participate in this puja.
18/08/12 (Sat) 10:00am to 12:30pm

The great master Chandrakirti says that Naga beings are born out of karma that practises unethical generosity. Nagas in a way, behave just like human beings. There are good and bad people, just as there are good and bad Nagas. When you treat them kindly, they will reciprocate with kindness. However when offended, Nagas naturally become very bitter and angry and are likely to cause us much unhappiness and obstacles in our daily lives. We may experience a lot of unhappiness in the family or interpersonal relationships, nothing seems to be going smoothly, or might also suffer from skin-related diseases which doctor/medicine is unable to help. These problems stem from the wrath of the Nagas we have offended, and the only way to appease them would be to participate in such Peace pujas. Participating in such Naga pujas will make offerings and hence please the formless Nagas in our surroundings. When they rejoice, these Nagas may even lend us their assistance and help us in our daily activities. 
Naga house offering

Healing Lama Kangyur Rinpoche first explained in 2007, that most sources of cancer come about due to Naga harassments and obstacles. Hence, Rinpoche has advised that it is best to participate in Naga pujas regularly to prevent such predicaments from befalling uus.

Rinpoche also specially pointed out that, should cancer patients experience re-growth of new tumors each time they have removed one, then this is a likely sign that this cancer disease has been caused by Naga attack. The only expedient way to pacify the Naga is through performance of Naga Pujas. There have been a few accounts where Dro-Phen Ling had conducted Naga Pujas and tumors of the cancer patients had miraculously disappeared; these are certainly living proofs which manifests the truth in Rinpoche’s words and advice.

According to Buddhist Tantric practice, there are many ways of performing rituals, namely: peaceful, increasing, forceful and wrathful. The Naga Puja employs the peaceful method where the Lama offers tormas to the nagas. Tormas are conical-shaped ritual cakes which are blessed in three ways: (1) by mantras, thereby purifying them from any defilements of ordinariness; (2) by meditational stabilization, whereby infinite tormas are generated; and finally (3) by gestures or mudras, which ensures that the recipient is satisfied with the ritual cakes. Through this ritual, one can prevent or be relieved from the negative energies sent forth by nagas.

DO YOU KNOW?
Nagas are believed to reside in places like small ponds or tree groves. They sometimes appear in the form of snakes, or as half-snakes half-humans with elaborate jeweled crowns. Unauthorized use of land (that the naga occupies) is believed to be stealing their personal possessions. They highly cherish their clean environment; when it is exploited or disturbed, the naga will strike back at the offenders by inflicting disease, sudden catastrophe or even death. However, as they may not be able to identify the actual offenders, hence, they may simply strike at any human being they see, and these innocent people may fall ill for no apparent reason.

“This puja is very helpful for those who suffer from skin conditions, and even those who suffer from disability, stroke or fits. Because we may have gotten these diseases from naga attacks, and yet we’re unaware. Nagas live near stones, in water, underground, almost everywhere! We never know when we offend them.”


Grand Puja for Forceful Release of Black Magic & Curses
Specially to dispel black magic, curses and spells which affects health or career/business
18/08/12 (Sat) 3:00pm to 5:00pm

This is a special healing puja which helps not only in subduing black magic and curses, but is also very beneficial for alleviating health problems – especially mental-related conditions such as anxiety, depression, or people who are prone to suffer from nervous breakdowns. It is also a most effective puja for people who appear to be in a persistent limp state of body and mind to attend. The Healing Lama Kangyur Rinpoche previously explained during his earlier visits, when others bear grudges or hatred against you secretly, and after a prolonged period of time, it naturally forms into a negative energy against us (even though it may not be deliberate or intentional). This negative force is akin to a curse and is harmful to us because it makes us feel listless and weak in body and mind.

Puja ingredients: 5 colour threads
Lord of Wisdom, Manjushri Bodhisattva
Interested participants must attend the puja personally should they wish to receive the full blessings and benefit. In one particular procedure of the puja, the Lamas will have to tie up each participant with 5 different colour of threads, which signifies 5 different types of obstacles and problems we are entrapped in. These include health problems, black magic spells, curses, witchcraft as well as negative karma we have accumulated since beginningless time. And it is also precisely due to the vicious cycle of accumulation of negative karma that sentient beings are trapped within this endless cycle of uncontrolled existence. This special puja is conducted by reciting and meditating on the practice of Lord Yamantaka which helps to purify all our obstacles. During the puja, the senior Lamas will cut broken the 5 colour threads, symbolic of freeing us from all of our problems, worries, illnesses and negative conditions. At that time we should visualize the Lama as Lord Yamantaka (who is also the emanation of Manjushri), and He uses Manjushri’s Sword of Wisdom to liberate us from the sufferings of the 5 colour threads.


3-in-1 Wrathful Deities Initiation - Drag Po Sum Tri (Hayagriva, Vajrapani & Garuda)

18/08/12 (Sat) 7:30pm to 9:30pm

The Drag Po Sum Tri initiation is an extremely powerful practice which combines the individual strengths of the 3 wrathful deities – Hayagriva, Vajrapani & Garuda. This is one of Healing Lama’s specialty practices. Vajrapani is the head of all Tantric deities and is able to render special protection against sicknesses and sufferings.  It is especially helpful to relieve illnesses such as stroke and paralysis, which are caused by ripening of bad karma. Hayagriva is a uniquely powerful deity with the ability to subdue all of the most ferocious demons and evil spirits. Manifesting in wrathful form, it is not only able to dispel all charms and evil spirits, this special deity also clears all kind of obstacles and strange diseases which arise from black magic. Practicing Garuda will enable one to eradicate obstructions from naga beings and worldly gods. We may have unknowingly offended these unenlightened beings, and when offended they become angry and cause us various obstacles, such as strange illnesses which doctors will not be able to diagnose and alleviate the suffering. Through this initiation of Garuda, we obtain the medicine to overcome these hindrances.

By receiving this Drag Po Sim Tri initiation and obtaining the blessings from it, one will swiftly eliminate all sources of illnesses and misfortunes. All evil charms or spells will be dispelled. One’s only wish will be fulfilled, and one will be able to practice the Dharma with ease – accumulating boundless merits along the path, and eventually attain Enlightenment. This initiation is unique and rare; we do encourage one and all to treasure this affinity.


White Umbrella Goddess Demon-Subduing Obstacle-Clearing Puja
Specially to overcome all major obstacles, prolonged period of bad luck and all negativity, esp. related to supernatural harassment.
19/08/12 (Sun) 10:30am to 12.30pm

White Umbrella Goddess
The Calamity-Averting grand puja is a ritual based on the practice of the White Umbrella Goddess. This is one of the most powerful and sacred puja amongst various Buddhist rituals. One procedure of this ritual is to consecrate and offer tormas (ritual cakes) to counter-attack negative forces such as illnesses, mental disturbances, disputes, enmities, defilements, misfortune, premature death, factors against congenial surroundings and 84,000 bad forces. Hence, this puja is named DUKAR TORTHOG in Tibetan, literally meaning - counter-attacking negativities through torma offerings.  

By this ritual, we drive away all harms and evils by the blessings of the White Umbrella Goddess and her surrounding deities in the form of tormas (one big torma in the middle representing the Goddess, and surrounded by 33 white flags representing the deities). More than 30 different kinds of ingredients are required for this puja - whereby it serves to offer to specific deities, and seek their protection for different kinds of obstacles. By participating in this puja, one gains the protection from dangers of fire, water, weapons, poisons, malediction, untoward accidents and untimely death. It also pacifies the chances of epidemics, harmful spells, contagious diseases, conflicts and wars. In addition, we also receive the benefit and protective care of a myriad of divine guardians and goddesses.

The White Umbrella Goddess is an intrepid and fearless deity. Through her practice, one can prevent the influence of any evil magic or spirits, as well as the attack or harassment of the formless, and help increase fortune, wisdom and longevity.

“This is not a common puja, it is one of the biggest pujas in Tibetan Buddhism. There are 30 over specific ingredients required for this puja, which are special offerings to 30 over different deities. Everyone has his own favourite food, and if I give you what you enjoy most, you will be very pleased. So in the same way, the elaborate offerings are the favorite of each individual deity. And each deity helps to clear us of one particular type of obstacle. This puja is very effective in clearing us of very big obstacles.” - Lobsang Chodar, 45 yrs old Geshe Lharampa

White Umbrella Goddess Khorlo
Specially Consecrated & Blessed White Umbrella Goddess Khorlo
Within the Khorlo is a piece of White Umbrella mantra, as well as the secret mandala of the deity. The Khorlo has been blessed by a thousand over monks of the Gaden Shartse Monastery, and possesses unimaginable merits, and be free of obstacles. The benefits of White Umbrella Khorlo:

Six Elements-Cleansing Healing Grand Puja
Especially aiding in stroke cases, paralysis, cancer, depression, autism, rheumatism, and other serious ailments. For ideal efficacy of the puja, kindly be vegetarian to participate in this puja. 
19/08/12 (Sun) 3:00pm to 5:00pm
Healing Lama Kangyur Rinpoche

This is a very rare and special puja which can only be performed by highly-skilled practitioners. Out of all the Masters we know, only the Healing Lama Kangyur Rinpoche is able to conduct this puja. We are bringing this grand puja back for the 3rd time by popular demand! Please cherish this opportunity as there is no one else who is able to conduct this puja effectively after the Healing Lama leaves.

This grand puja is especially helpful for patients who suffer from stroke, paralysis, cancer, depression, autism, and rheumatism; and all of us who wish to prevent and avoid the occurrence of such diseases befalling us. In Tibetan, the name is “Dhuk Yong Chap Duu”, meaning – healing puja which cleanses our body and purifies it of poisons. This grand healing puja was conducted by Healing Lama Kangyur Rinpoche in February 2007, and was very well-received with overwhelming participation.

The Healing Lama explained that in every ordinary human being, there are 6 elements present within our body which may be poisoned. They are namely the Poisons of:
  1. Wood element – originates from our pulse; experiencing immobility of limbs, physical difficulty.
  2. Earth element – originates from bones & flesh; experiencing a constantly heavy & tired body.
  3. Fire element – whereby it causes body temperature to rise and fever.
  4. Water element – originates from blood & body fluids; experiencing blood pressure issues, problems in the joints of limbs, and rheumatism.
  5. Wind element – whereby one experiences impatience, quick-temper, anger and frustration.
  6. Space element – whereby one experiences depression, hallucination, and insanity.
To participate in this puja, a set of ingredients are required: 5 different types of grass, soil, and water. These ingredients are necessary to symbolize as our poisons, and Rinpoche will go through the prayer ritual to purge the 6 poisons present in our bodies. Through performance of this puja, countless beings who suffered from stroke, paralysis, cancer and various illnesses has experienced miracles and signs of recovery. It takes a highly powerful Tantric ritual Master to be able to bear the karma of all these suffering beings, and in turn, use his merit to aid the recovery of all these patients.

Some people think they are perfectly healthy and do not require any healing, but this could be a misconception. It is recorded in sciptures that every single person has 424 subtle illnesses in the body and 80,000 different obstacles that we may encounter. This is a fact that no human beings can avoid. However, because we are ordinary beings, we are unable to detect any problems in our body until the sickness manifests before us. Hence it doesn’t mean we are perfectly healthy even though we feel well.

This is a very rare puja which not only helps in the recovery process, but also helps us to avoid such major diseases from befalling upon us, hence is a highly beneficial puja which we should never miss. In previous similar puja, thousands of devotees came to receive healing with full attendance.

Overwhelming full attendance - thousands came for each healing puja conducted by Kangyur Rinpoche

Namtose Wealth Blessing Initiation 
19/08/12 (Sun) 7:30pm to 9:30pm 

Namtose Great Wealth-Congregating & Fortune Blessing Grand Puja 
Please bring along your wealth vases, fortune wands, tri-blessings home amulet for recharge of blessings. 
20/08/12 (Mon) 10:30am to 12:30pm  

Namtose, Lord of Wealth
In Buddhism, fortune and wealth refers to ‘merit’ - because everything good that we possess is established from merit. Every form of success, every piece of happiness, every kind of enjoyment can only be materialized should there be enough merit to support it. To have merit means to have wealth and assets; if there is no or insufficient merit, then one encounters many negative conditions and obstacles. Even in the Buddhist path, you also need to practise and fulfill both merit accumulation as well as karma purification to be able to attain Bodhicitta.

Namtose, also known as Vaisravana, is a famous protector and wealth deity of Esoteric Buddhism. Namtose is one of them The Four Great Kings who have promised Buddha Shakyamuni to preserve and protect the teachings of Buddha. They are regarded as authentic Dharma Protectors since the time of Lord Buddha. Even though he has achieved supreme Enlightenment since infinite aeons before, he manifested himself as a Bodhisattva with the aim of helping others overcome poverty and misery. For centuries, great Buddhist practitioners and yogis relied on his practice for wealth, protection and cultivation of the path. Practitioners should generate the altruistic intention of compassion (Bodhicitta), and practice generosity. This practice can remove poverty within the six realms, and increase one’s merits, wisdom, health and lifespan. All their material and spiritual needs will be met. 

The Namtose wealth grand puja summons immense positive wealth energies upon the puja participants, and is a very effective method to invoke positive wealth energy of the universe and its inhabitants. Though getting rich is a result of one’s past actions, participating in such wealth-congregating pujas play a significant role in its own way to change the course of one’s financial situation. With a sincere motivation to accumulate merit, purify our negative karma, as well as make prayers for all sentient beings to be freed from all poverty and all sufferings, without doubt - one will certainly receive the vast blessings and protection of Namtose. 

Namtose Wealth Incense – From the Golden Light Sutra 
This is particular special incense that is produced from various specific herbs with reference to the Golden Light Sutra, as spoken by Vaisravana (Namtose) himself. By offering this incense, one accumulates the merit of offering incense and perfumes to all infinite Buddhas and Tatagathas in the ten directions. He who makes this offering generates roots of virtue under hundreds and thousands of Buddhas, and thoroughly holds incalculable stocks of merit. With proper and pure motivation generated from offering of this incense, one can swiftly accumulate the merit to accomplish both temporal and ultimate wishes swiftly. 

“As soon as that King of Humans lights various incenses in order to worship… by the power of the King of Glorious Sutras, the Sublime Golden Light, there will appear vines of various incenses and perfumes. At that instant… on all sides in the ten directions… as many as hundreds of thousands of millions of Buddha fields equaling grains of sand in the river Ganges… umbrellas made of vines of various incenses and perfumes will appear. These will smell profusely… there will be golden light and that light will illuminate as many hundreds of thousands of millions of Buddha fields…” 


Medicine Buddha 10,000 Grand Offerings Healing Puja

A most extensive 10,000 grand elaborate offerings to Medicine Buddha(s). For great purification and vast merit accumulation for healing and good health. Free distribution of specially blessed dharma pills. For ideal efficacy of the puja, kindly be vegetarian to participate in this puja.

Medicine Buddha Grand Healing Blessing Initiation
20/08/12 (Mon) 7:30pm to 9:30pm

Medicine Buddha
Tibetan Buddhists consider the Medicine Buddha Empowerment to be the most powerful blessing for healing, dispelling sickness and for awakening the innate healing wisdom that lies within every individual.  The practice of the Medicine Buddha, and all the other ways of connecting to the blessings of the Medicine Buddha are said to be much more effective when one has received the Medicine Buddha Initiation from a qualified lama.

One day during Buddha’s time, through his compassion, Manjushri realized that in the future the Buddhadharma would degenerate, and the beings of this world would find it very difficult to practise pure Dharma and gain pure realizations. He understood that it would be very difficult for those beings to control their minds, and so they would naturally engage in negative actions such as killing, stealing, and holding wrong views. As a result they would experience horrific illnesses and unbearable mental pain. The world would be full of problems, dangers, and adversity. And this is the time how the Medicine Buddha practice would be very beneficial for us.

Medicine Buddha is an enlightened being who has unbiased compassion for all living beings. He protects living beings from physical and mental sickness and other dangers and obstacles, and helps them to eradicate the three poisons – attachment, hatred, and ignorance – which are the source of all sickness and danger. He is a Buddha Doctor. 

The practice of Medicine Buddha is a very powerful method for healing ourself and others, and for overcoming the inner sickness of attachment, hatred, and ignorance. If one meditates on the Medicine Buddha, one will eventually attain enlightenment, but in the meantime one will experience an increase in healing powers both for oneself and others, and a decrease in physical and mental illness and suffering. If we rely upon Medicine Buddha with pure faith, we will be freed from rebirths in the 3 lower realms, and shall definitely receive the blessings of these attainments.

This is the most elaborate offerings GSDPL has ever organized in their 10 years of grand events. As H.E. Khensur Rinpoche Sonam Passang mentioned in the previous grand puja, such an elaborate offering is akin to the grand feast of a King or Emperor. This is the best feast one can offer. Due to the extensiveness of the offerings, the merit accumulated is vast too.

With pure sincerity of wishing to offer the best and most superior offerings to Medicine Buddha, we encourage everyone to participate in this 10,000 great offerings grand puja. Although each of us contributes one set of offering, we shall all share the inconceivable great merit of offering 10,000 sets.

BENEFICIAL FOR THE DECEASED TOO
This Medicine Buddha Ten Thousand Grand Offerings Puja is not only very helpful to all of us, it is also extremely beneficial for the deceased. By helping to make offerings on behalf of the deceased members, and dedicating the merits to them, it will help them for a smoother next rebirth, and most importantly, we pray that through this great offering, it plants a seed for them to be able to come into contact with the pure dharma in their future lives. May they achieve a precious human rebirth.


Sand Mandala of Medicine Buddha
Medicine Buddha Sand Mandala – Full of Healing Blessings
Mandalas constructed from sand are unique to Tibetan Buddhism and are believed to effect purification and healing. According to Buddhist scripture, sand mandalas transmit positive energies to the environment and to the people who view them. While constructing a mandala, Buddhist monks chant and meditate to invoke the divine energies of the deities residing within the mandala. The monks then ask for the deities' healing blessings. Traditionally, most sand mandalas are destroyed shortly after their completion. The entire process of creation, ceremony and deconstruction is a meditation on non-attachment and the impermanence of all things

Gaden Shartse monks who are experts in the art of sand mandala will be constructing the Medicine Buddha Sand Mandala (8 feet x 8 feet) over a short span of the 3 days. After demolishment of the mandala at the grand puja, the precious blessed sand would be distributed at one of DPL in-house pujas.

WHY DO OBSTACLES ARISE? HOW CAN WE REDUCE OR ELIMINATE IT?
(Extracted from Medicien Buddha Teachings by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche)

“We experience adverse conditions, obstacles of various kinds – such as physical illness or mental depression, or various external setbacks in whatever we are trying to do. These come from one of two causes – from previous actions or karmas, or from present, suddenly arising conditions. Although normally we regard the maturation of our previous actions as something that, once it arises, is very difficult to change, nevertheless, if you supplicate the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, make offerings, gather the accumulations and so on, you can purify your karma. Purifying your karma also purifies some of your kleshas (afflictions) at the same time. With the application of appropriate remedies, especially with the blessing of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas – one can alter one’s karma and reduce the power of one’s kleshas [thereby reducing or eliminating one’s obstacles and adverse conditions].

The other cause of obstacles is what is called “sudden conditions”. One type of sudden condition is a karmic debt, a situation in which what is happening is not the direct result of your immediately previous actions, but is being imposed upon you because of a negative karmic connection you made with that being [in a previous life] – for example, a being whom in previous lives you have beaten up, killed, or stolen from and so on. Sometimes this is a human being who for no apparent reason takes such dislike to you that they start persecuting you. Sometimes this is a non human being, a spirit who takes every opportunity to cause you obstacles in this life. In this situation, if you supplicate the Medicine Buddha, make offerings, make virtuous aspirations and so forth, this being’s aggression will be pacified, and you can free yourself from the obstacle.” 

If you wish to have more details and if you are not already a member of Gaden Shartse Dro Phen Ling (membership is free), perhaps you can drop by the centre at 12 Guillemard Lane to get a copy of the brochure write up, or visit their website or Facebook Page for more updates.  

I will be posting more information on the in-house program in Gaden Shartse Dro Phen Ling in another post as there would be 23 monks arriving for this trip. 

Hope to see you at the Grand Puja, and bask in the holy presence of the Great Healing Lama!
Healing Lama Kangyur Rinpoche Lobsang Choephel
