TRUCHU: A WATER CLEANSING CEREMONY

From the Düdjom Tersar Khandro Thugthig Cycle

with Pema Rigdzin

Sunday, May 18, 10 am -12 pm pacific

Location: Wisdom Center of Santa Cruz

In-person and online

The trapping of our own minds and thoughts is one main cause of human suffering. Trüchü is a water cleansing ritual performed to purify contaminations caused by emotional and elemental imbalances, physical and mental toxins, karmic impurities, and the five afflictive emotions. The saffron water with the eight qualities is imbued with the blessings of mantra and visualizations of the five wisdom Dākinīs families.

This ritual is performed over the head, in particular, to wash away outer and inner negativities of body, speech, and mind, eliminate hostile spiritual hindrances, pacify astrological inauspicious transits, nightmares, and their bad omens, purge gloom, nourish and empower healing.

This concise ritual belongs to the Khandro Thuktik treasure cycle composed by Düdjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje. The meaning, application, and benefits of the practice will be given.

You may wish to bring your own small towel.
