Guru Dragpo and Shitro Pujas with Ayang Rinpoche
In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the end of each lunar year is marked by the performance of wrathful pujas, such as the Guru Dragpo, aimed at dispelling negativity and obstacles to usher in a New Year filled with opportunity and fortune.
The annual Guru Dragpo puja will soon take place at Thupten Shedrub Jangchub Ling in Bylakuppe, India, led by Ayang Rinpoche’s monastery.
Following this, the Shitro Puja, honoring the Hundred Peaceful and Wrathful Deities, will be observed.
This puja serves to aid the deceased in their purification and liberation, with offerings made to the hundred deities and prayers dedicated to those in the intermediate state.
Ayang Rinpoche emphasizes the significance of this ceremony in guiding departed beings towards liberation.
Participants are invited to submit names of departed loved ones for inclusion in the prayer list by February 22.
