Candlelight & Flower Mandala Ceremony (Puja) for Release of Obstacles and the Deceased
Khandro Rinpoche, Sey Jigme and the Khachodling Team invite you to practice with them, as sangha perform Candlelight and Flower Mandala Puja from Hervey Bay. Khachodling’s Drukpa Gompa in Manali India and Khachodling’s Bhutan Team simultaneously offer Candlelight Mandala.
Candlelight & Flower Puja
The Candlelight & Flower Puja is a signature practice by Khandro Thrinlay Chodon. It is a condensed version of the 49 day Shitro choega (puja) the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition. It involves preparing a beautiful flower and candlelight mandala and invites participants to invoke those in their lives who have died or who are having difficulties. The practice itself will bring the intentions of the participants for their loved ones into the pure space of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas where their sufferings, pain, guilt, regrets transform into wisdom and compassion.
Contribution to the Mandala
If you are in Hervey Bay and would like to contribute to the construction of the mandala please bring flowers and/ or tea lights to the sanctuary by 10am Tuesday. For in person attendance it is customary to bring cash notes in two seperate envelopes on the evening (one for deceased and one for obstacle removal). Online attendees can make offerings online via the link below.
Following this ceremony Khandro Rinpoche has arranged the full 49 day Shitro choega (puja) to be performed in the Himalayas by monks and yogis of Khachodling.
Our principal benefactor (Jinpö Chenpo) for this special time is Kei Kei of Khachodling’s Hong Kong sangha and the puja is especially dedicated for the release of family obstacles as well as for the long life of all Great Masters. All in person cash offerings as well as those online will be sent to the Himalayas so that your loved ones are included in these practices.
