Palden Lhamo Mamo Pacifying Ritual

September 18 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

« All Events

Heal from disease, subdue harmful forces and pacify the anger of the Mamos by calling upon the wrathful Goddess Palden Lhamo for protection and blessings. Known as Mamo Thrugkong in Tibetan, this complex ritual includes elaborately decorated tormas, extensive and unusual offerings, and lu effigies representing negative forces to be removed.

Mamos are a class of ferocious worldly dakinis who are easily offended by disharmony, environmental misuse and non-virtue, especially from practitioners who disregard vows, commitments and the law of cause and effect. When angered, these malevolent beings may respond by creating havoc in our lives, bringing widespread disease, conflict, natural disasters and other types of misfortune.

Appeasing them through offerings, confessions and remedial rituals to Palden Lhamo can pacify their anger, put an end to their harm, and create favourable conditions for abundance and success.

Who is Palden Lhamo?

Palden Lhamo is one of the principal Dharma Protectors in Tibetan Buddhism. Also known as Shri Devi in Sanskrit, she is an emanation of the Goddess Saraswati in wrathful aspect, a fiercely protective manifestation of Tara, and also a form of Mahakali, the feminine aspect of Chenrezig.

She embodies the compassionate yet fierce energy that destroys ignorance and protects the purity of the Buddha’s teachings. Her enlightened wrath dispels negative karma, heals spiritual afflictions, and guards sincere practitioners on their path to enlightenment. Her pujas and rituals are highly effective to overcome our spiritual and worldly obstacles, and fulfil our virtuous wishes, and subdue harmful energies and all sorts of demons.
