We are at a critical time in human history. As ancient prophecies predicted, our modern era is burdened with challenges and Earth’s inhabitants face many dangerous problems: increased warfare, environmental disasters, economic breakdown, epidemic diseases, famine, and political turmoil are prominent among them.Wherever you look, there is conflict, violence, turmoil, and suffering. How can we make a difference? How can we do something that will pacify this negativity and help to restore peace?
In the Buddhist tradition, it is believed that there are special types of monuments that possess powerful energetic abilities to remove negativity and protect from disaster. One example is a full-scale, three-dimensional mandala. These types of monuments have the ability to bestow great blessings throughout the earth—permeating the five elements with their power.
Padmasambhava predicted that Vajrakilaya (P’hurba) would be of particular importance in restoring peace and balance on the earth at this critical time. Vakrakilaya is the powerful embodiment of all the Buddha’s activities and is the remover of obstacles.
“If you build one Vajrakilaya peace mandala, it is as virtuous as building 108 stupas. Those who wish to build, and those working toward building, and those who are donating money to build – all three will reach the liberation stage together.” – Lama Dawa Chhodak Rinpoche </poem>
