Relic Blessings for Healing, Wisdom, and Compassion
Come receive blessings from Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s precious relic on October 5 from 5-6pm. All people and pets are welcome! Relics can promote healing, spiritual realization, and the development of a good heart.
In the Buddhist tradition, relics are left behind for the sake of sentient beings by masters who have developed high spiritual realizations within their mental continuum through great compassion.
Shantideva and other FPMT Centers were gifted this year with a precious relic of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. This relic pill is made from Rinpoche’s white and red bodhicitta and contains sacred substances including mani pills blessed by HH Dalai Lama, substances from HE Ling Rinpoche’s estate, water from sacred sites in Nepal, Bhutan, India and Tibet, and Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s inner offering, medicinal substances, and water blessed with mantra.
This relic can benefit others even though Lama Zopa Rinpoche has now passed away.
Venerable Losang Gendun will facilitate this event. Learn more about relics
