Wealth Box Puja

Nov 1, 2015 | Views: 5,985

Dear students and friends,

In June 2015, I blogged about the Wealth Box project that we were planning to do in Kechara Forest Retreat (KFR). Now fast forward a few months later, and I am glad to announce that the Wealth Box has been installed and the consecration pujas have been done by Venerable Panglung Kuten himself, the official oracle of Dorje Shugden for over 30 years now.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved in making this project a success as I know so much effort, planning, organising and arranging was put towards preparing the offerings, making the Wealth Vases, receiving accurate instructions, and even learning up the Yangdup puja which includes the set-up and rituals and all that.

Below I would like to share a write-up about how the Wealth Box was made from the beginning to the conclusion. It has a lot of information about this beneficial ritual which generates the energy to acquire resources for the proliferation of Dharma. I know there were many people who were unable to be present physically to volunteer, but are still interested to know what happened and also many people who contributed their precious items to add to the collective energies of this project. So I am sharing with you here how it was made.

I wish and pray that may everyone be filled with abundance, especially spiritual abundance.

Sarva Mangalam
Tsem Rinpoche

 


 

Kechara’s Wealth Box

Written by the Yangdup Team

First and foremost, we would like to thank our Spiritual Guide, H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche for always providing us a wonderful platform for us to create infinite spiritual and positive abundance.

The Wealth Box project has been a wonderful experience for all of us. As this is the first time we made one for Kechara, much preparations and discussions were held to ensure only the best efforts were made for this project, and that all of the work would be recorded down for future generations to learn from. In Tibetan Buddhism, having a wealth box helps the sponsors, organisation and the people involved in the organisation to attain abundance both materially and spiritually. We absolutely felt this positive energy from the beginning of the project as we received an abundance of volunteers and sufficient sponsors that allowed this project to materialize so quickly.

The Yangdup team who were tasked to oversee the completion of the project was formed after a short audience with Rinpoche in early June. Within a few days, a skilled carpenter was engaged to construct the Wealth Box in Kechara Forest Retreat (KFR), and the acquisition process of the items needed to create Wealth Vases to go into the Wealth Box had begun.

 

Making Wealth Vases from Scratch

Wealth Vases are an essential component in a Wealth Box. Similar to the ones made in the monasteries, the Yangdup team thought it would be very auspicious to create our own Wealth Vases in-house instead of using ones imported from the monasteries. By making our own Wealth Vases, not only do we learn the methods and techniques of producing one, but we also create the causes to be a Dharma institution and monastery because we conduct similar activities to that of Gaden Monastery itself. This is aligned with our aim to be a centre where the lineage of Lama Tsongkhapa can flourish for a long time.

The bronze vases for the Wealth Vases had to be sourced from abroad before we could begin the process of transforming this ordinary vase into a Wealth Vase. The extensive process involved the following:

  1. Painting the vases yellow/gold

A total of 64 vases were spray-painted with a gold color. Although spray-painting may sound simple, there are many factors that we had to take into consideration to ensure the end product turned out perfect such as the weather (humidity and rain made it challenging to dry the paint quickly), lighting, as well as training our volunteers in the proper techniques of spray-painting to avoid the paint from dripping from the surface of the vase.

Auspicious designs drawn onto the Wealth Vases

  1. Drawing and hand-painting auspicious symbols

All designs on the vases were penciled on the surface of the spray-painted vase, and later a selection of auspicious colors were added to the designs. The auspicious designs are traditionally painted on Wealth Vases according to scriptures and every single design has a significance in bringing abundance to the owner of this blessed Wealth Vase.

Wealth Vases being painted and prepared by Kechara volunteers for the Wealth Box

  1. Lacquering the vases

After the hand-painted works were done and dried, the vases were then lacquered for a beautiful glossy effect and to protect the artwork.

  1. Cleaning the vases

After the lacquer dried, the insides of the vases were carefully cleaned and purified with incense. As per tradition and scripture, a layer of saffron water mixed with wangla (traditional Tibetan glue) was coated inside the vase before any items were inserted.

Silks of five colors and an embroidered double dorje to seal the Wealth Vases

  1. Filling the vases

Hundreds of items were inserted into the vase. Each item was prepared from scratch, packed neatly into yellow paper and labelled clearly. For a full list of the items inserted into the Wealth Vase, please scroll down to the “What Is Inside the Wealth Vases” section.

  1. Sealing the vases

Silks of five different colors (blue, red, green, white and yellow) were then cut into square pieces and the edges sewn for a neat finish. A double dorje symbol was also embroidered onto the yellow color silk. These five colored silks were then stacked on top of each other, with the yellow silk being at the top most. They were then used to cover the lid of the Wealth Vase. A string was tied around the neck of the vase to hold the coloured silks in place, and knotted at the front of the vase. A wax seal was then used to seal the Wealth Vase.

  1. Pujas

An extensive soongdroop and rabney puja was held to consecrate the Wealth Vases before they were placed inside the Wealth Box.

Preparing the Wealth Box

The rule of thumb when creating a Wealth Box is to offer all that is precious in abundance. A plain wooden box is less than ideal. Therefore the first step of preparing the wooden box (so that it is fit to be converted into a Wealth Box) was to offer gold on the inner surface of the wealth box. More than 15,000 gold leaves were carefully glued onto the interior of the Wealth Box, a process which took about a week to complete.

Below is a brief explanation of how the Wealth Box was prepared:

  1. Gold leaves

More than 15,000 gold leaves were used to line the interior of the Wealth Box. Because gold leaves are delicate, the process was done carefully and took over a week to complete.

  1. Painting auspicious symbols

After the gold leaves were done, the doors on the outside of the Wealth Box were painted with a bowl of jewels and a pair of jewel-spitting mongoose. This is traditionally painted on wealth boxes according to the scriptures.

Lhari and pearl curtains installed in the Wealth Box

  1. Installing hooks inside the wealth box

Several hooks were installed inside the wealth box for two purposes, they are:

  • To hold 4 bags known as yangku

Each yangku contains a different class of items such as coins and precious materials like gold and silver.

  • To hang pearl curtains all around the wealth box
  1. Eight petal lotus brocade

Nine special embroidered eight-petal lotus brocades were made to be put on the base of wherever the Wealth Vases would be placed.

The Sealing Process

After a month of preparations, it was finally time to consecrate and seal the Wealth Box. A three-day long puja known as the Yangdup Puja took place from 17th to 19th of July 2015. On the first day, a Soongdrup and Rabney puja was conducted, and on the third and last day a Tsog puja. The pujas were led by His Eminence the 7th Panglung Kuten and a group of His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s students, whereby all of the pujas were done in a traditional manner.

Choje-la conducted the three days of pujas required to seal the Wealth Box

On the final day of the puja, before the Wealth Box was closed, the Eight Auspicious Signs, Seven Royal Emblems and Eight Auspicious Substances were taken out on a procession around the prayer hall, blessing all that it touched with abundance in both material and spiritual growth.

It was the first time that Kechara has ever conducted such an extensive puja, and from now on we will be continuing this puja on a yearly basis to re-energize the Wealth Box.

We would like to thank all who have contributed in kind and in effort to make this project a success.

How You Can Continue to Contribute

Missed the making of the Wealth Box and its ceremony? It is not too late to be involved with this project. Here are some areas where you can be a part of this blessed project:

  • Sponsor a Wealth Vase in the Wealth Box
  • Invite home a Kechara made Wealth Vase
  • Sponsor the upkeep of the Wealth Box. On a yearly basis, perishable items such as food, tormas, herbs and medicines need to be replaced. The Wealth Box will also need an annual rejuvenating puja, for which we will need to invite learned Geshes and monks from the monasteries to conduct such an extensive pujas, whose trip will also require sponsorship
  • We also need earth and water from around the world (especially holy places), being collected on an ongoing basis. This will be added to the Wealth Box once a year. Please refer here (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/kechara-13-depts/get-involved-in-the-wealth-box-project-in-kfr.html) to learn how you can contribute earth and water to this Wealth Box.

Please contact Beng Kooi (beng.ooi@kechara.com) or Pastor Jean Ai (elena.khong@kechara.com) for more information on any of the above.

    Kindly, suggest me, What should I do to become financially abundant.
    How do I give my contribution for this wealth box.

    Thank you,
    Nitin

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing with us what is a wealth vase and a wealth box. It is not easy to find information about Tibetan Buddhism especially the ritual part. We might have heard of a wealth vase but most of us don’t know what is inside.

    The process of making the wealth vase is not easy at all especially the ingredients part. Some of the ingredients are very rare, the Kecharians are really good at sourcing all of them. People who are involved in making the wealth vases are very lucky. Not many people have the chance to get involved in such meritorious activity as making wealth vase is not something people do every day!

    The making of a wealth vase is not simple, from the preparation to the completion of it, it takes quite a bit of time too. Knowing how a wealth vase is made, we will now appreciate it more. It also assures us that the wealth vase available for people to invite from Kechara are made according to the tradition, not just a vase.

  3. Stella Cheang on Jan 30, 2017 at 4:10 pm

    Thank you, Yangdup team for this excellent sharing. Really amazing to see so many precious items are being consecrated into Kechara Wealth Box. And very lovely to see a host of kind sponsors involved in the Wealth Box project. It is through this thorough post that I have learnt that having a wealth box, in Tibetan Buddhism, helps the sponsors, organization and the people involved in the organization to attain abundance both materially and spiritually. Those who were involved in the preparatory work and sponsorship would be very blessed. May everyone gains inner and outer wealth.

  4. Fong on Jul 8, 2016 at 6:40 pm

    So much effort and intent put into collecting the various items to be put into the wealth vase and the wealth box. So kind of the Panglung Kuten to personally combine everything and fill the vases.

    Thank you, Rinpoche for sharing this process and even letting us know in detail the items that went in.

  5. KB Thapa on Jan 14, 2016 at 8:28 pm

    It was really amazing see Panglung Kuten la come all the way here to teach us About wealth vase. He very Kind and compassante . We all have seen how hard everyone worked on this with harmony as a result Kechara is growing and benefiting so many people. Thank you Rinpoche for the article it is very easy to understand all the information on the wealth vase..

  6. JP on Dec 5, 2015 at 4:16 pm

    We are very lucky to have the 7th Panglung Kuten teach us on the intricacies of making wealth vases and wealth box for the overall benefits of Kechara and our members. The entire process is likened to a retreat because awareness to detail is required.

    It is one of the effective methods of creating the cause to increase our spiritual and material abundance. Spiritual abundance that leads to material abundance is better for a person because with the wisdom, the person will not degenerate with material abundance. It is common for people to be distracted when they obtain material wealth.

    Kechara is at the level of growth where abundance of resources is necessary so that we can continue to build more facilities in order to reach out to more people who have the affinity to learn the Gelugpa tradition of Buddhism and have an opportunity to realise Enlightenment.

    Aligned to our vision of creating local Buddhist teachers and ritual masters for many generations to come, we can now teach the art of making wealth vases and wealth box.

    Thank you Rinpoche!

  8. Sharon Ong on Nov 1, 2015 at 11:04 pm

    Volunteering for this project was indeed a very special experience for me and my family. Watching the video brings back many sweet memories as it was a wonderful learning process for me and great friendships were formed during the long hours working together. Thank you for the video documenting the whole process beautifully and also the write-up that allows me to recap whatever I might have forgotten or learn bits that I might have missed out during the process.

    I sincerely thank Rinpoche, Choje-la and Beng Kooi for this rare and precious opportunity to be a part of this auspicious historical event. May the Wealth Box bring Kechara and KFR all the right resources to grow from strength to strength and succeed.

  9. Sarah on Nov 1, 2015 at 9:45 pm

    Congratulations to H.E. Tsem Rinpoche, Chojela, the Yangdup Team and all those involved, for the successful completion of the Wealth Box project for Kechara House. One can see that a lot of preparation and effort have gone into the accomplishment of the project. For me, this project has great educational value and thank you for documenting the whole process from beginning to end. Great team work!

    A Chinese ghost marriage is a ceremony that unites a deceased person with a living or deceased person. The family of the deceased usually arranges the marriage. Despite its long history and unique practices, the original purposes of ghost marriages remain largely unknown. The ghost is a classical image in Chinese culture, have a history stretching back 3,000 years. This tradition dates back to the first Chinese dynasty, making it at least 2200 years old, while others even note that it’s roughly 3000 years old! Despite reports of it still being practiced in remote Chinese villages in China,Taiwan and certain Asian countries . Ghost marriages are acceptable and symbolic in especially in Taiwanese culture, with many social elements related to them. Interestingly enough Li Kim and team did a great research ,spoke to Professor Lin Mao-Hsien, a Taiwanese folklore scholar on these interesting tradition. Reading this article with a better understanding of the ghost marriages. The story of the man by the name Wu Wen-Da, who had been dreaming about a dead woman named Zheng Su Mei truly interesting.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Li Kim .

    Interesting account of the investigation of Supiyati an Indonesian woman’s body filled with needles, nails, and wires.
    After many efforts to find a cure in their hometown never found any success, Dark Magic is an incredibly powerful form of witchcraft that draws on malevolent powers.Black magic is a belief system that is not supported by scientific evidence. However, psychologists and neuroscientists have studied magic to understand how it affects people’s perceptions and beliefs. Regardless of the path forward, the study and understanding of black magic will undoubtedly remain a subject of enduring fascination and scholarly inquiry.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The basis of the Buddha’s teaching is to be found in the Four Noble Truths. The Buddha teachings describe the nature of suffering and the path to its end. Suffering is unavoidable and affects everyone. Craving and ignorance lead to suffering. Whatever we do have consequences, so living in a way that minimizes harm can prevent future pain. Good to cultivate good qualities and abandoning non-virtuous thoughts and actions. Abandoning dishonest livelihood and living a life of right livelihood. Being kind and compassionate towards oneself and others. The Fourth Noble Truth is the truth of the Path that leads to the cessation of suffering.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Genla for this profound teachings.

    Dorje Shugden is a protector in Tibetan Buddhism, originally a minor protector in the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism. Later adopted by the Gelug school. Has been worshipped throughout history by several schools of Tibetan Buddhism. As a wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, the Wisdom Buddha, who grants wisdom, clarity, and concentration. A protector who fulfils wishes and prayers, brings material resources,healing, and protects from harm to those who sincerely rely on. Also helps us to clear obstacles, and attracts opportunities for success, growth and in many ways. Many practitioners have benefited ultimately for helping them stay on the spiritual path. Rely on Dorje Shugden consistently over times, we will see his graceful yet powerful assistance in our lives. The prayers is indeed very powerful and have me change my life.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this simplified daily prayer. Easy and convenient for everyone.

    The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge. Part of being successful is about asking questions and listening to the answers. Asking questions is the first way to begin change. Knowledge shared is knowledge squared. A great way to learn by reading and asking various enlightened aspects of Tsongkapa. I am still learning even I have revisit this blog on and off. Still trying to remember names of great lamas.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this post.

    All thanks to our Guru that we are given a chance to get connected to the Sublime Queen, Vajra Yogini and collect merits along the way. The idea of making real gold-paint offerings to Vajra Yogini in KFR is indeed awesome for everyone. In Buddhism, symbolic offerings are made to the Triple Gem, giving rise to contemplative gratitude and inspiration. Making offerings to the Buddhas are acts of generosity and therefore highly meritorious.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands.

    ndia is a land of diverse cultures, traditions, and spiritual practices. They allow religious freedom among its most enigmatic and intriguing spiritual sects are the Aghoris, a group of ascetics who are often surrounded by mystery, fear, and fascination. But the Tibetan leadership creates religious differences leading to discrimination, violence, hatred and bias against Shugden practitioners. Everyone has their rights to choose and practice whatever they want. The ban of Dorje Shugden is therefore unnecessary and illogical . In recent years religious freedom has improves.
    Interesting blog of a sect of ascetic sadhus who practice a unique and extreme form of Hinduism. They are the only surviving sect of the Kapalika tradition, a Tantric form of Shaivism originated in Medieval India. The Aghoris are a fascinating and mysterious group of Hindu ascetics, who have a distinct and radical approach to spirituality. They are known for their bizarre and unconventional rituals. They live in cremation grounds, smearing ashes on their bodies, using human skulls as utensils, and eating flesh from human corpses. Aghoris are Hindu devotees of Shiva the god of destruction and transformation, and they seek to attain liberation from the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. They see themselves as healers, both of the body and the soul. Many believe that their intense penance and devotion give them extraordinary powers.They engage in practices that challenge conventional ideas of purity, such as meditating in cremation grounds, consuming what others deem inedible, and embracing what society often shuns.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.

    Saying thank you and showing our gratitude with a handwritten message can make all the difference in our life.At times, when our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has reason to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. None of us who achieves success without the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge is this help with gratitude. Let us rise up and be thankful. Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.Its gratitude that helps us to grow and expand . And also gratitude brings joy and laughter into our life and into the lives of all those around us. Spiritually it unlocks the fullness of life and turning what we have into enough in life.

    Wangze is one of Dorje Shugden’s emanations and is the most powerful deity to propitiate in order to assist us when we are facing difficult situations with difficult people and positive influence on others. Wangze’s practice can cultivate energies of power, influence, and the ability to positively influence others. Practising this practice with knowledge and understanding we may gain a firm footing on the spiritual path bringing benefit to their lives.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    7 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
