Venerable Shangpa Rinpoche and his lamas will be conducting the
5 days
ceremony of Chod, 100 Deities Jang Chog and Gyashi pujas for
good
health, purification, longevity and prosperity of all participants
and
sponsors.
The Chod puja is effective for purification of those people who
have
various sicknesses and especially, for the purification of
disturbances caused by the evil spirits. It also benefits us in
our
daily needs such as prosperity, health and longevity.
By practicing the 100 Deities Jang Chog, one can gradually
realize
one's nature of mind. In the practice of Jang Chog, merit is
accumulated through making offerings to the 100 Deities and this
is
transferred to the deceased for their purification and
liberation.
This practice helps the deceased in the bardo and shows them the
path
to enlightenment. At the end, the paper tablets of the deceased
are
burnt to purify their gross and subtle defilements and they enter
the
path of liberation.
The sutra and tantra have mentioned that when one performs the
Gyashi
practice, it will increase one’s lifespan and merits and purify
one’s
defilement and sufferings. In Tibet, this practice is performed
when a
person is severely sick, has a bad dream, encountering bad omen
or
misfortune and anticipating bad omen through prediction.
香巴仁波切与喇嘛将在中心主持五日的断行,
百位本尊度亡以及四百供養禳解法会。这是为了所有的参与者以及赞助法会的信徒的健康，净化业障，长寿与富贵。
“断行”之义即是割除或锲断的意思, 因此,
断行基本上是象征着自我的牺牲奉献。通过此修行而达到无惧与胜利的结果,各別通过表现在
(kartika)利刀与 (dhvaja)胜利的旗帜上。其究竟义即是锲断我执。断行修法也能长养无偏的的慈心与悲心。
這百位本尊是属於五方佛父与佛母功德事业的表征。他们是我们自然本性的显现。此百位本尊之修法能令行者渐次的了悟自性,
通过供养百位本尊所累积的善功德回向于亡者幇助亡者清净恶业及指引导向他们的解脱的道路。
经典及密续皆有讲述修持四百供养者将增长其寿命及功德,并可净化烦恼和痛苦。在西藏,
当有人患有重病,做恶梦,凶兆显现或遇不幸事故及通过预测得知将有凶兆时,即修此法以平息灾祸。
