Chod Puja
08 September 2007
8 - 10 pm, Saturday
The essence of the Chod practice is to develop the perfection of Wisdom by recognising then eliminating the defilements of ego clinging, attachment to oneself and phenomena which are the causes of suffering. Countless masters and saints practise Chod and attained enlightenment in a lifetime.
The Chod puja is effective for purification of those people who have various sicknesses and especially, for the purification of disturbances caused by the evil spirits. It also benefits us in our daily needs such as prosperity, health and longevity.
Gyashi Puja (400 Offerings)
09 September 2007
2 - 6 pm, Sunday
Gyashi Puja means 400 offerings puja, to pacify the 4 maras. All the obstacles that we had experienced were caused by them. These are mara of the son of god, mara of defilement, mara of death and mara of form which are represented by white, red, black and yellow color respectively. They symbolize the 4 types of obscurations.
The sutra and tantra have mentioned that when one performs the Gyashi practice, it will increase one's lifespan and merits and purify one's defilement and sufferings. In Tibet, this practice is performed when a person is severely sick, has a bad dream, encountering bad omen or misfortune and anticipating bad omen through prediction.
