📿 SPECIAL PRAYERS
Prayers to Lord Kalachakra
4 Feb to 4 Mar 2023
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮, 𝙞𝙨 '𝙁𝙖𝙣 𝙏𝙖𝙞𝙨𝙪𝙞' (犯太岁)?
In Chinese culture, Taisui (太岁) is a star which moves directly opposite Jupiter. Every year, Taisui's shift in position will result in ‘clashes’ with certain Chinese animal signs. It is believed that if one’s birth year, month or time correspond to animal signs that clashes with Taisui, it could have a negative impact on the person’s fortune, career, health and relationships for the entire year.
𝘼𝙣𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙏𝙖𝙞𝙨𝙪𝙞?
To seek protection from the negative implications of Taisui clashes, we recommend praying to Lord Kalachakra, a Vajrayana deity who is the embodiment of Shakyamuni Buddha’s Kalachakra teachings. Offering prayers to Lord Kalachakra helps us to purify inauspicious conditions that arise due to the cycles of the planets, including unfavourable astrological influence from the clashes with Taisui.
*Online registration option is available, prayers will be recited on behalf by our Sanghas.
Requesting for Benefactors Day
6 to 19 Mar 2023
Make requests to Guru Rinpoche to create the cause for having the support of benefactors in your pursuits.
*This prayer is only available on-site for devotees.
