The Chöd Dur is a powerful ceremony in
the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and is intended
dispel negative forces whose presence are
indicated by incurable diseases, cancers,
mental illness, depression and other personal problems, as well as,
removing visible and invisible obstacles. This extremely
powerful extension of the Chöd rite is aimed at first invoking
through wrath, then liberating through compassion, all
negativity that causes disease, accidents, madness and all
non-conducive conditions. It is particularly beneficial to
attendees, but for those not able to be present, it is also
beneficial to bring them into the mandala by means of personal
effects or a photograph. The ritual is of great benefit to
both the living and the deceased. The Dur is a very ancient
Tibetan ritual performed for very serious and important
matters.
