Vajrayogini Jangwa Puja for the Deceased
![](https://www.kechara.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/TRPA2024-Vajrayogini-Jangwa-Web-Article.jpg)
- This event has passed.
Purify the negative karma of your dearly departed and help them achieve a good rebirth. The Vajrayogini Jangwa puja can be dedicated for the recently departed or for those who have passed on some time ago.
During the puja, the minds of the deceased are invited and then through ritual, their karma is purified and they are transformed into Buddha Vajrayogini.
A significant part of the puja is the burning of paper tablets containing the names of the deceased. This symbolises the destruction of their self-cherishing mind and the sending of their consciousness to Kechara Paradise — Vajrayogini’s Pureland. This is a place where they can practise the Dharma fully to achieve spiritual advancement, higher states of consciousness and eventually Buddhahood.
The Vajrayogini self-initiation ceremony will also be performed during the puja, bringing great benefits for both initiates and non-initiates.
- For the uninitiated, the ceremony creates the causes for us to receive Vajrayogini’s practice in the future.
- For the initiated, the ceremony mends and reaffirms our vows taken previously, and purifies downfalls that could prevent us from gaining attainments from our practice.
Furthermore, this is one of the pujas recommended by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche prior to his parinirvana, to help students generate tremendous merits and create the causes to swiftly find his unmistaken incarnation.

Vajrayogini is the supreme embodiment of wisdom and compassion whose practice is the most efficacious among all the Highest Yoga Tantras. She is particularly suitable for the people of our time because her practice helps to purify and transform desire, which is the current and most pervasive energy within samsara.
Vajrayogini manifested specifically to pacify our self-created inner obstacles that are provoked by the outer environment we live in. Therefore, her blessings are very potent and powerful for this day and age.
