Question asked by Lee
Hello Pastors!
I have questions about:
Which kind of situations that i should use Dharma Protector's rice for?
What's meaning of reciting Entourage Mantra after we recite main mantra of lord Shugden?
Can we ask Lord Shugden or Lord Setrap to bless items such as rice, pictures, necklace,… by ourself if no monks or Rinpoche at presence to request to do this?
How we can do this?
Thank you so much.
Dear Lee,
Protector Rice:
> Protector rice is commonly used to relieve spiritual disturbances or to dispel negative energies in an area, especially when burned or placed over doorways.
> Protector rice can also be placed in water (along with other holy rilbus), imbuing the water with the same powerful potential. The water can then be used to bathe for healing, protection and blessings, especially for those with physical or mental aliments.
> For cases of negative interferences, lay two lit incense sticks parallel to each other. Then place one or two protector rice grains across the top of the incense sticks so that it starts to burn. This will invoke the presence of the Protector in the affected area.
> Insert into Buddha statues and stupas for consecration and increased positive potential.
> Encase and wear around the neck for a continuous supply of positive energy and protection.
> Place in luggage for a safe journey and to help prevent untoward incidents.
> Place in the mouth of a dying person or animal to help them pass on peacefully.
> Place in the mouth of a deceased person or animal to help them take a better rebirth.
> Put into bathing water to relieve skin problems and for general protection.
Entourage mantras:
When you invoke on certain deities, they come with an entourage, hence when you recite the entourage mantra, you are invoking on them also to aid you.
