You are invited to be in prayer - with many around the world - for the practitioners who will be a part of the "closed" Puja Mamos that is starting today, for the next three days. This special Tibetan Buddhist Puja will be performed in Tashi Jong, India, for the protection of the Earth and humanity. This kind of unique Puja that takes months of preparation has not been performed in over a century. You are also invited to be in prayer for Mother Earth and for all humanity at this critical, challenging time on planet Earth that is also filled with tremendous potential and possibility. according to Choegyal Rinpoche, a gently retiring Drukpa Kargyu Tibetan lama: "Disasters and suffering are increasing all over the world, despite humanity’s material progress. Unending greed and hatred are disturbing the whole of existence without limit. Human minds are so disturbed by selfishness. Nature is suffering, and the consequence of this is to upset the whole living environment, which includes the most important forces behind all: the Motherly supportive feminine forces. The realized ancient masters of Tibetan Buddhism understood all this and advised the Tibetans to perform this ancient Mamos Puja in times of darkness. "The Mamos are the extremely powerful female goddesses: Ma (Mother), Mo (Female). Described by Rinpoche as feminine super-nature, they inhabit the entire solar system - earth, fire, wind, sea, mountains, space. When Nature is disturbed, the Mamos/mothers become disturbed and upset, then the Earth becomes disturbed. As a result people’s minds are affected and because of our interconnectedness, the sacred web of life is disturbed. "In the Life of Milarepa it is written that one of the very High Queen Goddesses of the Himalaya was sick and requested Milarepa to give a blessing to heal her. Some people had done something harmful, disrespectful to the local environment. So the Goddess become sick. As a result, the local people were also becoming sick, natural disasters were occurring. So Milarepa gave the blessing to heal her. He also advised the local people not to disturb the natural environment, to maintain ethical behavior, to perform prayers to bring blessings to the region. As they did so, the area regained health and happiness and became free from natural disasters... "This ancient Tantric ritual practice helps heal the Mamos of the entire solar system. It helps calm their irritation. It gives healing blessings to them. It helps stop wars by not allowing evil forces to arise in the minds of humanity. It helps prevent epidemics and natural disasters. During the ceremony presiding masters, yoginis, yogis, bhikhus, bhentes and nuns meditate on a wrathful Buddha and use that practice to communicate with the Mamos. They attract their attention and transmit blessings to them to soothe their aggression, help to calm them down. They then inspire the Mamos to generate loving kindness and bring many of the Mamos to take a vow to bring peace, harmony and health to the entire world." Please participate in this potent ceremony and prayer for the world, as you are able. And please pass the information along to those who may be interested in joining us! We are indeed, moving toward a shift in a consciousness that sees life as a living, dynamic, interconnected whole in which we are ALL a part, "a Consciousness of Oneness". May peace, with justice for all, prevail on Earth! The organizer has requested your energetic participation by saying: "I think it would be wonderful if wise and sympathetic people like yourself around our precious globe would hold the earth and the ceremony in their hearts, meditations, and prayers during the period when the puja is taking place, creating a web of light around the globe."
