Special Practice This Sunday

Practitioners,

Normally on Sundays when Drupon Rinchen Dorje Rinpoche is in Chicago, we schedule dharma teachings.

This Sunday we will be doing something a little different, the puja "Summoning Good Fortune, White Dzambhala Practice".
White Dzambhala is a new practice for our sangha and one we expect to continue with in the future.
We will be doing this practice to bring good fortune for our sangha as well as all individual Dharma practitioners.
Any objections to increasing good fortune? I didn't think so.

No empowerment is required, so anyone may participate.
We encourage you to come for the blessing of this practice with Rinpoche:

Sunday September 16th, at 10:00 AM:

Chicago Ratna Shri Sangha
5337 West Cullom Street
Chicago IL 60641




Dzambhala embodies the power of wealth to benefit beings. He symbolizes inner and outer wealth.
Inner wealth is spiritual attainments gained through his practice.
Outer wealth is material wealth that will enable easier Dharma practice.
His fat belly shows his prosperity and he has a mongoose on his left thigh that vomits jewels as he squeezes it.
In his right hand he holds a flaming wish-fulfilling jewel, symbolic for the riches one attains with the wealth of spirituality.
