Dharamsala: On 6th November 2013 Men-Tsee-Khang
performed a ritual at Triund, a part of Dhauladhar Range, to appease landlord
spirits, as mentored by His Eminence Dzogchen Ganor Rinpoche.
Background
Some of the natural disasters occur
as and when landlord spirits are disturbed by human’s natural exploitation,
massive construction and afforestation. Rituals are performed to appease these
landlord spirits, whether or not disturbed.
Number of Attendees
The ritual was attended by around
a hundred of Men-Tsee-Khang staff and students, including Mr Tashi Tsering
Phuri, the Director of Men-Tsee-Khang, and five staff monks.
The Way to Triund
The ritual attendees started
their journey around 3:30 a.m. from Men-Tsee-Khang and walked persistently through
a silent forest for about three and a half hours. Most of the attendees reached
Triund, when the sun was vividly emerging from the peak of the Dhauladhar Range.
Rituals
Around 9:30 a.m. the Ritual
Organizing Committee (temporarily set up by MTK) displayed a set of ritual offerings
including ritual ‘cakes’ made of flour and butter. Thereafter, all the participants
recited prayers for appeasing agitated landlord spirits both enthusiastically
and melodically for about three and a half hours, and concluded the ritual with
lhagyal, making a collective wish to the
guiding angles.
