This morning Kirti monastery lamas, geshes, and monks performed three consecutive fire pujas. The first was for peace, the second was for increase (health and wellbeing), and the third for power to dispel the obstacles in order to stop to this coronavirus pandemic from spreading further.

Rituals, when done within the sphere of great compassion and wisdom realizing emptiness, can be very powerful. In this photo HH is performing a fire puja in the 1960’s to purify obstacles.
