LAMP OFFERING
Lamp offering symbolizes the light of wisdom dispelling the darkness of ignorance, in order to attain Buddha's luminous clear wisdom. It is also a skilful method to encourage harmony and generate merit while promoting success, prosperity, longevity, peace and love, as well as helping to avert obstacles, pacify the upheaval of the five elements and heal diseases. The enlightened ones do not require the offering of light, this is a means for us to dispel the darkness of our own ignorance and to clear our obscurations and defilements.
Funds permit, we intend to offer 100,000 lamps at Swayambhunath Stupa between 16th and 21st February 2007.
TSHOG (GANACHAKRA) PUJA
Tshog or Ganachakra puja is a ritual of feast offering assembly, performed by Vajrayana practitioners to accumulate merit and purify the sacred Tantric commitments, known as samayas. It is also a practice in which attachment and habitual sense perceptions are transformed into being part of the spiritual path.
Funds permit, we intend to offer 100,000 Tshog offerings between 16th and 21st February 2007.
