Riwo Sang Chod and Nolsang Practice with H. E. Chhoje Tulku Rinpoche

Various practices exist to purify the obscurations of body, speech, and mind, and to heal different kinds of sickness in the Vajrayana tradition. The Nechung Oracle has prophesied that two specific practices of burnt offerings are extremely beneficial to make. The first is Padmasambhava's smoke offering for contamination, (Tib. nolsang), and the second is the mountain purification practice (Tib. riwo sangchö). Through these practices, we are able to purify the body, speech, and mind, and impure energies which are the causes of our sickness and instability in life; they affect various aspects of our lives like our spiritual practice, our health, our wealth, our harmony with others, and positive energies. As these obstacles are purified, our physical and mental well-being are healed and revived. Thus, this extremely important practice has been performed for centuries in the high mountains of Tibet. This practice will be led by Chhoje Rinpoche. If you plan to attend in person, please bring an item to contribute to the offering or make a donation towards it. Acceptable items to bring are rice, barley flour, cinnamon, cardamom, white sugar, brown sugar, molasses, honey, nuts (plain, no flavorings), or frankincense. The practice session will be streamed live online: 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday, July 3, 2023. If you plan to attend online, please make a donation of any size toward the offering.
