A powerful method for swiftly removing obstacles and negative conditions

Green Tara is known as the "Mother of All Buddhas" and the embodiment of enlightened compassionate action. She is often called upon for swift assistance, especially in times of fear, obstacles, emotional distress, and danger—be it physical, mental, or spiritual.

She is seated in a posture of readiness, with one leg extended—ready to leap into action to protect and guide. Through receiving the initiation blessing, we will connect deeply with Tara’s enlightened qualities, and develop the ability to overcome obstacles, illness and fears, both external and internal. We will also develop our propensity to inner courage, fearlessness, and compassion.
Note:
🔸 All participants are required to attend in person to receive the transmission blessing.
🔸 Due to the great compassion of Rinpoche, this initiation is a general blessing with no specific commitment, unless the individual would like to.
White Umbrella Goddess Demon-Subduing Grand Puja
Swiftly pacifies obstacles & remove spirit harm
25th July, Friday evening 7pm to 9pm
During Buddha’s time, many negative forces which harmed sentient beings prevailed. Even though all fruition we face in this life is attributable to our own karma (accumulated from previous lifetimes), negative forces are catalysts which will bring about obstacles for us more quickly. This is one of the most powerful puja amongst various Buddhist rituals to subdue such formless obstacles. One procedure of this ritual is to consecrate and offer tormas (ritual cakes) to counterattack 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 Thorthog’ in Tibetan, literally meaning - counterattacking negativities through torma offerings. 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.
Note:
🔸 Bring a worn and unwashed shirt—this will be ritually discarded to remove obstacles. Bring a few coins and half-eaten biscuit as part of the required offerings. (Biscuits will be provided at the event.)
