Benefits of Green Tara Fire Puja:
Removes obstacles so that our life span and wealth will increase
and bring improvements to our health.
Benefits of Lama Norlha:
These days, every practitioner needs wealth. There are three
kinds of wealth: the external, the internal and the secret.
External wealth is material related, like food, clothing,
accommodation and comfort in life. Internal wealth belongs to the
accumulation of merits, happiness, peaceful mind and being
contented. Secret wealth is the growth of primordial wisdom and
attaining qualities of enlightenment.
Lama Norlha is the Guru of All Wealth Deities. He is the
manifestation of Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) in order to benefit
sentient beings. He is viewed as the united form of Guru and Yidam,
which is very unique and special. Guru Rinpoche said that to
practice a deity of the united form of Guru and Yidam yields
extraordinary and special benefits and blessings. As the Guru of
all wealth deities or yidams, Lama Norlha seats in the centre of
the mandala, surrounded by the four kinds of wealth deities, four
kinds of great kings and many other deities. Practicing Lama
Norlha, the individual's external, internal and secret wealth will
grow and flourish.
