April 26, 2025

About
The Purification Puja for the Deceased (Jangwa) is a ritual prayer conducted specifically to benefit those who have passed away by purifying negativity and supporting their transition to a good and better rebirth. Living beings can participate in this puja to support their late family and friends, regardless of how recently or long ago they passed away.
The Jangwa Puja harnesses the power of mantra, representing the Buddha’s holy speech, as well as the concentrated meditation of the monks leading the ritual. Even for individuals transitioning through the intermediate state towards lower realms of rebirth, this puja can redirect their path towards a more favorable reincarnation. By purifying the negative actions of the deceased, the Jangwa Puja aims to guide their consciousness towards a better rebirth.
The Annual Yamantaka Jangwa aims to honor ancestors through the blessings of Yamantaka, the wrathful form of Manjushri Bodhisattva. The Yamantaka Jangwa ceremony was chosen by Rinpoche after careful observation, to honor ancestors and benefit both the deceased and the living.
