Chenrezig Ceremony for the Dead

CHENREZIG CEREMONY FOR THE DEAD

This traditional ceremony, newly translated by Lama Padma Gyatso, is performed at the height of the Chenrezig drubchen. It benefits the deceased, wherever they may be wandering after death or wherever they may have been reborn, by invoking their consciousness and reducing their fear and suffering. During the stages of the ceremony, the consciousness is given focus, clarity, and direction, and the habitual propensities toward unsatisfactory rebirths are purified. Then, by closing the doors to all possible suffering states of samsara, the consciousness is liberated directly into the blissful pure realm of Amitabha, the Buddha of Boundless Light. At the conclusion of the ritual, the name is incinerated, marking the end of the deceased’s fetters to samsara..

You are invited to submit the names of deceased family or friends to be those included in this ceremony. You may include a picture if possible, and the date of their birth and death. Customarily, you would include a donation on behalf of the deceased to support this ceremony.
