Question asked by Lee
Help! After watching Tsem Rinpoche's video on nagas do's and don'ts, I just realized I have offended the nagas seriously. There was a certain dream where I ended up seeing two serpents biting me after I tried running away and I already had pimples on my body and bad eye vision. After finding that biting is very serious, is their any practice to cure this? I know that the Apology to the Naga Realm might work, but since they are possessive, is their any other way?
Dear Lee,
Thank you for your question. I’m sorry to read that you are going through this. Even though you had a dream of two serpents biting you, and the physical symptoms, it may not necessarily be due to having offended nagas. However, if it is then the Apology to the Naga Realm is very good (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/apology-to-the-naga-realm.html). Apart from this there are other practices that can be engaged in to alleviate this particular situation, however these practices are only engaged in when one has particular initiations, undertaken retreat on a particular deity, and under the guidance of a qualified lama.
However, if you want, you can have a Naga Puja sponsored for yourself here: http://www.vajrasecrets.com/naga-puja. This puja can be sponsored to appease nagas that have been offended, and increase peace and harmony. I hope this helps.
Thank you.
