The Grand Sanctification Ceremony of Chundi

As advised by H.E. Jhado Rinpoche, Chundi Buddhi is the patron deity of Thekchen Choling. He had especially transmitted the esoteric lineage of Chundi to our Spiritual Director Singha Rinpoche, thus establishing a direct connection between our temple and Chundi practice.
In celebration of Thekchen Choling Singapore’s 20th Anniversary, we will be holding The Grand Sanctification Ceremony of Chundi to make strong supplications to Chundi for bestowing multitudes of blessings and benefits.
Through this special ceremony, we pray for the happiness of all sentient beings, long and stable lives of our Lineage Gurus, as well as the quick fruition of all virtuous wishes of our sponsors and devotees.
We rejoice in your merits if you would like to participate in this prayer ceremony with us to recite the prayer together with the sangha in allocated timing.

We are happy to inform everyone that all on-site registration time-slot is fully filled! Do join us on FB Live for merit accumulation together!

Benefits of this Chundi Ceremony

Chundi has been highly revered since ancient times for her powerful blessings in granting spiritual and worldly successes. Hence, one may request Chundi to gain Dharma realizations, growth in businesses or personal careers, having a harmonious family, or having good interpersonal relationships through making offerings and supplicating to Chundi in this ceremony.
By making sincere confessions to Arya Chundi, we can purify mountains of negative karma, including karma accumulated from our broken vows. Chundi helps to dispel misunderstandings and hatred within us and towards others that has risen from holding onto wrong views. Also, Chundi protects us from life obstacles caused by non-human entities and is able to transform all adverse conditions into auspicious ones.
Acquire all of Chundi’s blessings and benefits by bearing a special blessed emblem – The Holy Amulet of Lhamo Chundi.
Offer a Holy Amulet of Lhamo Chundi & more auspicious offerings here.

Sacred Mirror

The Sacred Mirror represents consciousness and the element of space. Clear, pure and bright, the mirror reflects all phenomena objectively without bias, thereby reminding us to practice objectivity and to rise above our judgmental minds. On a more subtle level, it reflects the Buddha’s core teaching of emptiness – that nothing exists on its own side without a dependent arising cause.

Pinnacle of the mirror

The pinnacle of the mirror, formed by the white crescent moon, flaming red sun and an orange flame of fire, represents the completion stage of Vajrayana practice.

Light Rays

The light rays radiating from the Sacred Mirror represent the flourishing of the Buddha’s teachings, fanning out to the furthest reaches of the universe.

Full Moon Disc

The moon disc represents Bodhicitta, the aspiration to become a Buddha to benefit all sentient beings.

Blue Lotus

Divinely fragrant, blue lotuses bloomed only in the Buddha’s time. By incorporating it into the temple’s logo, it is symbolic of the ever-present Buddha in Thekchen Choling. Moreover, a lotus flower represents purity, perfection, compassion and renunciation, similar to how the beautiful lotus remains untainted even though it had arisen out from the muddy waters.

Nine Precious Jewels

These nine precious jewels represent the Guru, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, yidam or mind-seal deity, Dharma protector, the sky, earth, and the human realm.

Two Dragons

The two dragons represent continuity and harmony and create the cause for the temple to enjoy the strong support of members and benefactors for Dharma to flourish.

Golden Khata

The flowing golden khata represents the auspicious increase of all Dharma activities.
