Each person, home, office and land is individually assessed to determine which rituals may be needed, depending on the situation, energies and forces—positive and negative—that are involved. Below is the spectrum of Vajrayana Buddhist rituals and ceremonies that are used singly or in combination to heal, energize and sanctify oneself and one's environment.

1.Blessing: Fire offering ceremony

Mountain of Purified Offerings (Riwo Sang Chö) is a core offering ritual, using the smoke of sacred aromatic mixtures and potentization by mantra to create vast spiritualized healing offerings. These are offered to enlightened beings, local deities, land guardians and all beings in creation. This blessing clears away obstacles, increases wealth energy, improves health and heals the environment. Vast positive karma is also gathered in the process and past karmic debts are repaid. A blessing walk-through of the home is also often performed and prayer flags may be hung, generating a continual sustained stream of positive energy.  Click here for Details

2. Enriching: Wealth energy
For many of us, money and security issues are a source of constant stress and even trauma. The practice of Yang Guk (the "hooking of prosperity energy") and aspiration prayers such as the Spontaneous Fulfilling of All Wishes, are done in the home or workplace or in a common community space.  Using mediation, mantric speech, mudras along with a variety of offering substances, the causes of poverty that impede wealth can be removed while the circumstances that bring internal increase and true richness can increase.  Material success can then flow naturally. A consecrated "wealth vase," containing precious and consecrated substances can be used to amplify the process. Click here for Details

3. Purification: Sanctifying the home
Negative conduct can leave disruptive traces or "stains" that pollute our lives and environments. These pollutions can often cause imbalances which can lead to maladies of various types and moreover perpetuate themselves cyclically. Often, cleansing rituals (Trul) for purification of the home are performed to clear non-productive or negative energies, while inviting powerful positive forces to enhance all aspects of life. Participants can recognize and correct whatever faulty actions or misunderstandings have occurred. The all-accomplishing Nampar Jompa mantra is highlighted in this rite of outer, inner and secret purification. Click here for Details

4. Protection: Removing obstacles
There are times in life when strong obstacles arise and the source may remain persistent, yet unseen. In such cases, it is sometimes necessary to make specific decisive efforts to focus, define and clear away such hindrances to our life activities and peace of mind. Several Tibetan sacred methods can bring this about, including the generation of the Wrathful Heruka (Phurba), who destroys all obstacles, and the Lion-Headed Dakini, who reverses all negative influences and misfortune.

5. Cutting Through: chöd ritual
Chöd is a powerful sacred method for cutting through very deep obstacles, that are rooted in our own self-clinging.  These include negative entities, harmful spirits, or the disruptive effects of a personal tragedy, death of a close relation, and so on. Chöd subdues and befriends all local energies, demons and disharmonious forces, bringing them towards spiritual healing. The karmic debts that have resulted in our difficulties are repaid and cleared. Chöd is the fastest way to accumulate vast merit and benefit all sentient beings without exception. The lamas normally perform the Chöd Feasts according to the Dudjom Tersar tradition. Click here for Details
