Prayers to Control Earthquakes

Sunday, February 11, 2018
3:00pm – 4:00pm
On the advice of Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche, we will be doing the following prayers to prevent and help control possible earthquakes in the future.  Practice led by visiting sangha members from our sister center, Tse Chen Ling:

  • Prayer called “Controlling Earthquakes”
  • Kshitigarbha Practice
  • Tea Offering to 8 Worldly Gods (Degyä)

This is to prevent and help control possible future earthquakes in the area.

Everybody is welcome!  Donations appreciated.

​Lama Zopa Rinpoche Recommends Earthquake Protection Image

​Lama Zopa Rinpoche has requested that this Thang Thong Gyalpo protection be made available to all students living in areas threatened by earthquakes. Rinpoche recently added text to the image, which he is recommending to students in Taiwan, California, New Zealand and other areas around the world that are in danger of having earthquakes. The earthquake protection should be displayed (i.e., posted on walls).

The Thang Thong Gyalpo protection (PDF file) can be downloaded and printed.

“Rinpoche uses the example of a place in Solu Khumbu where all the houses were destroyed after the April 2015 earthquake except one house that had this protection on the walls,” Ven. Holly Ansett said about the protection. “Rinpoche has all the FPMT centers in Nepal displaying it.”
