Consecration of Statues - Part 2

25 - 27 September 2006

We are very happy to share images from the second part of the week when the statues of our new centre were consecrated. The consecration process was for the Big Buddha statue and also for 5 other smaller statues. As you'll see, this involved a variety of precious substances, sacred and mundane objects, dharma texts and statues, mantras and other ritual objects. The process was led by Chopola, along with 4 other Lamas and one Ani.

These are the second set of days of the consecration. The whole process lasted from 20 to 27 September. Images from the 20, 21 and 24 June can be found here, as can Background info on Consecrating the Statues, which gives the general description of what was involved in the process.
