‘Grand Gutor Puja’ with ‘Repelling Ritual of the Wrathful Lion-Faced Dakini’ was concluded today. Rigon Tashi Choeling, Pharping had ritual began from 8th february, 2021.
Three days long puja was done with sadhana of Lion-faced Dakini. Sengdongma or Lion-faced Dakini is a secret form of Vajrayogini also has a relationship to Troma.
She is appropriate for clearing obstacles of the most pervasive and malignant kind and cutting through the “three poisons” of mind. This ancient practice of Lion-Faced Dakini has been important in Tibetan Buddhism since the time of Guru Rinpoche.
Sengdongma is particularly focused on pacifying the destructive influence of the Mamos, the forces of distributed “yin” or feminine demonic energies.
The wanton destruction of the environment and the degradation of human culture greatly stirs up and enrages these elemental forces. They retaliate with the disease, epidemics, weather disturbances and calamities on a major scale.
The Dakini became far more powerful than the demoness, who then began to lose her strength. While the Dakini was in a deep samadhi of taming the maras, countless dakinis emanated from her and subdued all the demons. Tramen Sengdongma, took an oath to serve the dharma and became a protector.
The Lion-Face Senge Dongma is a powerful ḍākinī particularly effective in repelling obstacles to one’s spiritual practice, including curses and other such calamities.
On the ultimate level, she represents the wisdom nature of mind. Padmasambhava manifested in the wrathful guise of Senge Dongma when he accomplished this practice.
In 1976, the renowned Tibetan lama and meditation master, Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche, stayed in retreat at the Asura Cave in Pharping, Nepal.
The visions that he experienced at this pilgrimage site led to the founding of The New Treasures Project and Rigon Tashi Choeling Nepal Monastery.
In November of 2005, after 6 years of construction, the Rigon Tashi Choeling Monastery was completed and officially opened. The consecration of this monastery took place, at a time when one thousand two hundred fifty four years had passed.
Many great Lamas headed by the holder of the life-force of the Nyingma School, His holiness Penor Rinpoche were in attendance.
The protector of the dharma wheel, Kyabje Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche, in the midst of the gathering of an ocean of lamas, tulkus, masters, and the sangha together with disciples and benefactors, performed the consecration according to the ritual of the Beautiful Garland of Flowers, a ritual manual from Lama Yishin Norbu of the Taksham Treasures.
