Dzambhala is an emanation of Buddha Ratnasambhava, whose enlightened activity is increasing and whose essence is generosity. Gold in color, he sits on a snow lion and lotus throne. He is often depicted with his right hand holding a victory banner, representing the triumph of one's body, speech and mind over obstacles and negativities. In his left hand he holds a mongoose, the enemy of snakes (a symbol of greed or hatred) and who, in an act of generosity, is vomiting jewels of spiritual and material wealth.
Dzambhala Offering Prayer November 2-6, 2021
Ayang Rinpoche hold the annual Dzambhala, or Wealth Deity Offering Prayer, November 2-6, at his monastery in South India, Thupten Shedrub Jangchub Ling.
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 donate towards 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.
Dedications must be received by November 4th at 5 PM (Pacific Time) to be sent to the monastery in time. Donations are welcome any time.
Thank you, and may all beings benefit!
