PRAYERS for the NEW YEAR

Purify all obstacles & bad luck created in the past year
Receive auspicious blessings & positive energies for the New Year!

Pujas:  (1) Heart Sutra Obstacle-Clearing Puja
             (2) Namtose Fortune & Wealth-Recharge Puja
             (3) Protector Setrap Puja


Traditionally, it is highly auspicious for the family to make special prayers & offerings for health, luck and prosperity for the New Year. At Gaden Shartse Dro-Phen Ling, we pray for that, and even more.

THIS IS THE 1ST YEAR WE HAVE H.E DAGYAB RINPOCHE LEAD US IN WELCOMING THE BLESSED NEW YEAR! Together with senior Old Geshe Ngawang Longtho, as well 19 Lamas conducting the NEW YEAR PUJAS, we  feel extremely blessed and fortunate! We pray for healthy body and mind; we pray for smooth-sailing power which overcomes all obstacles; we also pray for prosperity of both material and spiritual wealth. We pray not only for ourselves, for our family, we also pray for all sentient beings.

May this New Year be a fresh auspicious beginning, and may all of us, start by receiving the divine blessings of the Three Jewels.

As of our tradition, on the eve, the Lamas will be conducting 3 puja rituals to usher in the New Year. These pujas are performed for a smooth & blessed year ahead freed of all obstacles. The 3 must-have pujas for the New Year are the Heart Sutra Obstacle-Clearing Puja, Namtose Fortune & Wealth-Recharge Puja, as well as the Protector Setrap Puja for close guidance.


BLESSINGS OF THE 3 PUJAS SPECIALLY FOR THE NEW YEAR

1) Heart Sutra Obstacle-Clearing Puja
Should we wish to enjoy a fulfilling year 2011 ahead, whereby all our goals and targets can be achieved smoothly, we must first purify the negativities and bad karma that we have committed in the past year as much as we can. Because obstacles arise from the ripening of bad karma. Obstacles cause us unhappiness and hindrances in achieving our aims; and to avoid obstacles, we must avoid accumulating bad karma or purify them before they ripen. Through participating in the Heart Sutra Obstacle-Clearing Puja, we are able to purify negativities in the past year, and is a powerful ritual to swiftly eradicate any on-coming major obstacles for us in the New Year.


2) Namtose Fortune & Wealth-Recharge Puja
Namtose is a famous protector and wealth deity of Esoteric Buddhism, for centuries great Buddhist practitioners and yogis relied on his practice for wealth, protection and cultivation of the path. And needless to say, Namtose Wealth Pujas are one of the must-have auspicious pujas for the New Year. This puja summons immense positive wealth energies upon the puja participants, and is a very effective method to invoke positive wealth energy of the surroundings. For those who own wealth vases or fortune wands, do bring them along for re-energizing of wealth blessings for the New Year.

 

3) Protector Setrap Protection Puja
Protector Setrap is a wrathful emanation of Buddha Amitabha, and was the great Protector who successfully guarded and brought the Prajnaparamita and Pramanavartika teachings from India into Tibet. He is also the special Protector of our mother monastery - Gaden Shartse Monastery.

Though wrathful in appearance, Protectors are actually full of compassion and loving kindness for all beings who are trapped within this uncontrolled cyclic existence of sufferings. Protectors manifest a wrathful form towards the three poisons (greed, hatred, ignorance) and all other negativities of sentient beings. Their fierce appearances instill terror in evil spirits and also serve to remind us of the violence and ugliness of the three poisons prevalent in all of us.

The main functions of a Protector are to avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from gaining spiritual realizations, and to arrange all the necessary conditions for their practice. Due to the ripening of our negative karma accumulated previously, various obstacles will arise to hinder us. Protectors utilize the most immediate means to prevent the most immediate troubles. When one is practicing Dharma well, Protectors will follow closely, blessing and guiding you wherever you are.


祈福

依照传统,在农历新年时对三宝祈请并做供养;为健康、福运和财富祈福是非常吉祥的。在甘丹东顶渡悲林,由两位老法师以及众喇嘛的带领之下,我们一起共修新年大法会:为健康的身心、透彻的智慧作祈请;祈福获得大力加持消除前方一切的大障碍;且不止为金钱上的财富也为佛法和修行上的财富而作祈福。我们不单只为自己祈福,为自己家人祈福,更为一切众生作诚心的祈福。祈愿大家在新的一年里都能获得安乐。从迎接诸佛菩萨的加持而开始,新的一年,就从这里出发!

日期:2月2日2011年(大年除夕)
时间:晚上10点至凌晨12点半
法会:心经除障法会、财宝天王聚财法会、金刚犀甲护法庇护加持法会


1) 心经除障法会
若想在2011新的一年里一帆风顺,事事顺心,就必须先把去年/以前所造就的恶业都尽量的净除干净。由于所造之恶业所感得的果报,各种违缘障碍才会因此而生起,不断的困扰着我们。「心经除障法会」便是 借由念诵心经来净化我们在过去一年里所造下的种种恶业,并迅速的消除各方面碍障的殊胜法门。

2) 财宝天王聚财法会
财宝天王是极具威力并有庇护、增长财富与福德的法门,而财宝天王聚财法会更是新年里所少不了的吉祥法会。透由修法的功德可招聚周围一切的财运,为生意及事业增上顺缘,并加持予法会参加者。若家里有宝瓶和招财棒,也可带来参加此法会重新添补财运力量,为迎个好年再次加持一番。

3) 金刚犀甲护法庇护加持法会
「金刚犀甲护法庇护加持法会」能净除我们在新的一年里内、外、密一切的障碍:「内」障指的是一切影响着我们的健康和精神状态的违缘;「外」障即指一切在人际关系、工作,和生意上阻碍着我们成功的各种障碍;而「密」障便指所有障碍着我们证得了知一切圆满智慧,获得究竟安乐的种种违缘因素。透由修持此法,我们也祈请护法在新的一年里一直保护并加持着我们,为我们除障开路,承办内心所愿。
