Sherab Chamma (Wisdom Loving Mother)

Saturday and Sunday, June 29th and 30th
10AM-4:30PM

        PROGRAM: Chaphur Rinpoche will provide teaching and instruction in the recitation of the mantra, invocations, prayers, and visualization of Sherab Chamma, known as the Wisdom Loving Mother. Zoom is also available.

        Sherab Chamma (The Great Wisdom Loving Mother) is known as the Mother of all Enlightened Ones and source of all love and Compassion. All Bön deities come from Chamma, she is the compassionate and wise mother of all. Chamma is the feminine counterpart to Shenlha Odkar. Her body is also “dzog ku,” the body of perfection. Chamma is available to everyone for comfort, guidance and healing as she has the power to dispel all obstacles such as fear, sickness, sadness or negative impact of demonic forces. She is thereby able to prolong life.

       Chamma holds a mirror in her left hand. This mirror represents the purity of Chamma heart as reflected in a perfect understanding of the karma and suffering of all beings. The vase in her right hand contains the essence of the potential hopes, dreams and accomplishments of all who are committed to Chamma. Her throne is supported, like Shenlha Odkar, by two snow lions representing her supremacy over all life.
