Join us on Wednesday, 20th September 2023 to dispel spirit harm, unseen disturbances and negative supernatural influences.
The elaborate Shenyingdudog puja is based on the Heart Sutra — one of the most important sutras in the Buddhist canon. The ritual includes 252 recitations of the Heart Sutra and extensive offerings of tormas (ritual cakes) to generate a tremendous amount of merit for sponsors, participants and even the spirits.
If you are attending in person, you can offer kuyong (a token monetary offering) to the Sangha who will be conducting the puja.
What is the Heart Sutra?
The Heart Sutra, or the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, is one of the most well known of Buddhist scriptures. Although short, it is rich in meaning and history as it contains the essential concepts of Buddhist beliefs and philosophies. People who are afflicted by spirit disturbances are sometimes advised to recite the Heart Sutra as it is also very beneficial to the spirits who come looking for help.
