SUMMARY:Special Naga Puja
DESCRIPTION:Increase health\, wealth\, fame\, resources and merits with a Special Naga Puja for healing\, wellness and peace. This traditional ritual is a combination of four naga-related pujas. \n\nLutor (naga torma ritual) is an offering of ritual cakes to the nagas within an elaborate representation of a naga abode.\nLusang (naga incense ritual) involves burning a special mixture of incense\, healing herbs and medicines and offering the fragrant smoke to the nagas.\nLubum and Lui Pangkong (naga recitation rituals) are effective for activating the benefits of naga-related pujas.\nTorma Gyatsa is an extensive 100-torma offering to the Three Jewels including the wealth deities and Dharma protectors\, and to all sentient beings in the six realms.\n\nFurthermore\, these pujas are recommended by Dorje Shugden to clear huge obstacles\, purify negative karma and generate tremendous merits for the successful search and recognition of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche’s unmistaken incarnation. \nYou are encouraged to attend this potent puja in person for maximum effectiveness. \n  \nEvent Details\n\nSep 14\, 2024 (Sat)\n9.00 am – 12.00 pm\nKechara Forest Retreat\nFree.

However\, they are sensitive and when offended\, they can inflict diseases\, create obstacles and natural disasters. In particular\, many cancers\, skin-related conditions and family problems arise due to us knowingly or unknowingly offending a naga. \nHence it is wise to participate in naga pujas whenever the opportunity arises to please and appease the nagas. \n
