Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery in South India, Thupten Shedrub Jangchub Ling, will hold their annual Dzambhala, or Wealth Deity Offering Prayer, December 2-6.
Dzambhala is an emanation of Buddha Ratnasambhava, whose enlightened activity is increasing and whose essence is generosity.
He is portrayed riding a snow lion and holding victory banner and a
jewel-spitting mongoose. Some view the mongoose as triumphant over
snakes or nagas, the keepers of wealth.
The
offering prayer is also referred to as a Yangdrup, meaning a ritual to
generate “Yang”, the powerful magnetizing properties associated with
fortune and luck. This in turn creates all opportunities to ensure
accomplishment in spiritual practice, as well as an abundance of wealth, prosperity, success, good fortune, luck, long life and wisdom in a person’s personal, business and family life.
People who wish to dedicate prayers for their loved ones, including pets, living or passed, may make offerings
for tormas, butter lamps, tsog, tea, meals, offerings for monks and
nuns, or other puja expenses, by sending in their contributions through
Amitabha Foundation in their own country, directly to the monastery’s account, or by donating online. Donations are tax-deductible in the US.
May merit increase and all beings benefit!
