About the Puja

Puja, a Buddhist Offering Ceremony

 

   During the Satsa Puja, the ashes are mixed with clay and formed into the sacred satsas, written prayers are painted with saffron water and rolled tightly, then the prayers are enclosed into the satsas. During this process, a puja is performed, with many mantras recited, followed by a Satsa Consecration ceremony.

 The Satsa Making Puja and Consecration consist of a three part puja, taking place over three days. Creating or supporting the creation of these statues is said to generate merit so that one may understand the teachings more easily.  

   The satsas are arranged on an altar during the puja. Later they are placed into the Satsa House where they will continue to be blessed by our resident and visiting Lamas (Buddhist Teachers).

Our intention is to alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings. May all beings benefit.
