VAJRAKILAYA GUTOR

AMITAYUS LONG LIFE PRAYERS &
LÜD TANGWA (17/02)
Date: 17
Feb 2007 (Saturday)
Time: 10am - 12pm & 1pm - 3pm
Please
click here for
Puja Registration
Amitayus Buddha (the Buddha of long life,
merits and wisdom) is considered the Sambhogakaya aspect of
the widely known Amitabha Buddha. The main practice of
Amitayus is to prolong or extend one's lifespan. Longevity
is seen as a contributing condition that will allow us more
time and opportunity to practice the Dharma so that we can
fulfill our true human potential - the achievement of
ultimate happiness. It is therefore very important to do the
Amitayus Long-life practice.
The ritual of Lüd Tangwa is performed to
eradicate untimely death due to obstacles caused by evil
spirits & other negativities.
During this ritual, participants will place
their cut nails, hair, unwashed worn clothing, len-chag (a
type of mold used for rubbing on unwell body parts) into a
receptacle (Lüd) containing a figurine of a human being. The
figurine actually represents the obstacles and negativities
of participants, just like the various substances that we
place into the Lüd. Other offerings like food and etc are
also placed into the Lüd, with the aim of pacifying the evil
spirits and other negativities.
Traditionally, at the end of this ritual, the
Lüd will be thrown at crossroads, but due to legal
constraints here, the Lüd will be burnt instead, thus
eliminating all causes of untimely death.
