Join us on Wednesday, 13th September 2023 for a special blessing puja which will take us one step closer to the final consecration of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche’s 7ft statue!
Known as Soongdrup in Tibetan, this intensive preparatory puja will bless and empower the sacred items and substances inside the newly arrived statue, which is a tribute to our lama’s great compassion.
If you are attending in person, you can offer kuyong (a token monetary offering) to the Sangha who will be conducting the puja.
What is Soongdrup?
Soongdrup is highly beneficial when creating holy Buddhist images such as His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s 7ft Statue.
Every time a devotee, pilgrim or visitor makes offerings and prayers here, a portion of the positive spiritual energy is transferred to everyone who has contributed to the statue’s construction — a perpetual source of merits.
This is why we place great importance on fulfilling the traditional rituals to enhance the blessings of the holy objects inside Rinpoche’s Statue — to increase the stream of merits for all sponsors and supporters.
