This weekend, the Sakyong will perform a two-day Könchok Chidü Padmasambhava puja. This puja arose specifically from a request by the Sakyong Wangmo for the benefit of the Shambhala sangha and the world. The Könchok Chidü is a renowned guru sadhana, a practice that awakens the wisdom teacher within, revealed by the 16th century master Jatsön Nyingpo. It is highly regarded for its ability to bring strength, healing, and longevity, and for undoing the deeper wounds that can affect our psyche, mind, and heart.
The Könchok Chidü places a strong emphasis on feminine principle and is part of the deep vajrayana tradition held by the Sakyong within the Shambhala lineage. The Sakyong feels that the blessings of this practice will nurture the foundation of kindness we need to heal ourselves, our community, and the greater world whose journey we are share so poignantly at this time.
The Sakyong’s pujas are for the benefit of all beings. The spring pujas focus on healing and enrichment of life-force, and the winter pujas focus on dynamic assistance in creating good human society. They are also opportunities to personally request the Sakyong to direct his practice toward assisting our households, loved ones, friends, and others who we wish to experience the blessings of the Sakyong’s practice.
It’s not too late: You can still submit a request to the Sakyong to direct his practice to benefit ourselves, our loved ones, friends, centers, or activities: make a practice request.
