Long Shitro-Puja at the monastery
of H.E. Ayang Rinpoche in South India
|
|
|
From the 8th - 15th day of the first Tibetan month (February 20-27), an extensive Shitro practice takes place at the monastery of H.E. Ayang Rinpoche in South India. This includes meditations, prayers and rituals related to the 100 peaceful and wrathful deities of the intermediate state (Tib. Bardo) that begins after death and lasts until rebirth.
|
|
This Shitro practice is performed especially for the deceased of the last year, but also for those who died earlier. In the process, the lamas and monks can be told the names of the deceased and they will be included in the practice, so that the deceased are accompanied on their way and supported by good circumstances.
|
|
|
|
|
The Aachen Drikung Center collects donations which make the Shitro Puja possible. They can be transferred to the center account or via PayPal to "aachen@drikung.de". The purpose of use should be "Shitro practice". The names of the deceased can be sent to aachen@drikung.de by 2/21 so that they can be send to the monks in time.
