Spring Equinox Yang Guk Ceremony
A Ritual to Dispel Poverty & Hook Abundance

In person at the Wisdom Center and Online
In order to hook abundance, we must begin by cultivating noble qualities within us. Yang is the quality of wealth, vitality, and abundance that flows in accordance with the conditions of the five elements, astrology, and behavioral patterns.
​
The Autumn and Spring Equinox are excellent time to realign our motivation and make aspirations to cultivate those qualities through reflection and nurturing of those inherent noble qualities. This timely ritual applies skillful means to purify obscurations and invite our inner resources to blossom.
​
The ceremony will be performed from the profound Orgyen Khandro Norlha practice revealed by Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje. Always with fresh new teachings.
​
All are welcome to have their treasure vase or any supporting objects of abundance present during the ceremony in person or at home.
