Sang Puja is a profound Vajrayāna offering practice.The word Sang in Tibetan has the meaning of remove, take away; purified, cleared, cleansed and awakened. As such Sang puja is considered a purification practice and focuses on removing the impurities in the mindstream of the practitioners and all the ‘guests’ (see below). The physical ritual involves the burning of different woods, incense together and many other substances such as ground gemstones and brocades that are described in the practice texts.
What is the benefit of smoke puja?
-
The benefits of performing a smoke offering ritual are numerous:
-
Generating harmony & peace.
-
Healing & protecting physical/spiritual bodies.
-
Purifying negative karma & other obstacles.
-
Creating sacred space.
-
Clearing disruptive energies and honoring our protectors, ancestors & loved ones.
-
This practice has great power to perfect the accumulation of merit and wisdom. Thus, it represents much more than a simple offering of incense or smoke.

Sang Puja là một thực hành cúng dường Kim cương thừa sâu xa. Từ Sang trong tiếng Tây Tạng có nghĩa là loại bỏ, mang đi; được thanh lọc, được làm trong sạch, được làm sạch và thức tỉnh. Như vậy Sang puja được coi là một thực hành thanh lọc và tập trung vào việc loại bỏ các tạp chất trong dòng tâm thức của các hành giả và tất cả 'khách'. Nghi thức thể chất ở ngoài liên quan đến việc đốt các loại gỗ, hương khác nhau cùng với nhiều chất khác như đá quý mặt đất hàng thổ cẩm được mô tả trong về lợi ích của puja khói là gì? Lợi ích của việc thực hiện nghi lễ dâng hương khói là rất nhiều: Tạo ra sự hài hòa và hòa bình. Chữa bệnh & bảo vệ cơ thể vật chất /tinh thần. Tịnh hóa ác nghiệp & các chướng ngại khác. Tạo không gian linh thiêng. Xóa bỏ những năng lượng gây rối và tôn vinh những người bảo vệ, tổ tiên và những người thân yêu của chúng ta. Thực hành này có sức mạnh to lớn để hoàn thiện việc tích tập công đức và trí tuệ. Vì vậy, nó tượng trưng cho nhiều điều hơn là chỉ dâng một nén nhang hay khói thuốc.
Chúng tôi ki'nh mời tất cả các đạo hữu đến và tham gia cùng chúng tôi trong lễ puja khói đặc biệt này vào ngày Losar , 02/21/2023 lúc 9:30am.
