Wealth Vase, Yangbum Ritual
February 25th, 2023 10-am to 1:30 pm – PT
In Person and on Zoom
Gyalshen Institute is pleased to announce that we have several Yangbum (wealth vases) from Tibet that have been blessed by many Rinpoches, Geshes and monks from Nangzhig monastery. Chaphur Rinpoche will once again perform the Accomplishment of the Yang Ritual as he fills the wealth vases with the precious, blessed items from Tibet. This ritual was originally transmitted by Buddha Tönpa Shenrap as an antidote for the suffering of sentient beings experiencing a lack of well being.
Material well being in life gives us the opportunity for compassion toward others as well as sustaining the conditions for developing a successful spiritual practice. Within the teachings of the Nine Ways of Yungdrung Bön, there are rituals specifically performed in order to reinforce and increase well being and prosperity. These rituals are called Yang Drup, or accomplishment of the Yang. Yang means the force of prosperity and good fortune and includes wealth, harmonious and supportive relationships, merit, health, positive opportunities, and other desirable results.
These rituals strengthen the force of personal good fortune and good luck both by requesting the assistance of several wealth deities including Zhambhala and Sherab Chamma, and also by calling back the energetic forces that may have become separated from the individual. As a way of anchoring this force of good fortune and good luck, a wealth vase is created which becomes a sacred receptacle for the wealth deities. This wealth vase, or Yangbum, is filled with many kinds of precious objects, as well as mantras, and will be sealed and blessed by Chaphur Rinpoche. This vase can be placed in one’s home or business. Regular incense or water offerings as well as prayer and mantra recitations in front of the vase maintain a connection with the wealth deities.
Those who have previously received a blessed Yangbum do not need to order an additional vase. You are invited to have your vases reblessed by Rinpoche at this ceremony. If you are attending in person, please bring your wealth vase with you. If you are attending on zoom, please place your wealth vase in front of you as you participate in the blessings, prayers and mantras.
As you both experience and regularly practice this ritual, we at Gyalshen are joining with you in joyful anticipation of the arrival and deepening of many expressions of prosperity in your life.
Rinpoche will also inform each participant of the direction the Yangbum needs to face to receive wealth blessings during this coming year.
