Question asked by Gabriel
Dear Pastors,
One of my friends just encountered a situation with a naga. She was sick and getting fever and not matter what antibiotics they were giving her, the fever was not going down. So her parents asked monks in India to do a divination, and it turns out that someone had just given her father a naga statue and the naga was the one making problems. So the monks gave instructions to have pujas made in at the monastery in India, and to take the naga statue to the river, and after to do getor (obstacle torma) at the house. This was all done yesterday. After watching Tsem Tulku's video on naga vases, we realised that a lot of naga disturbance signs were showing up, such as having skin falling from her face, increased fighting in the house, and the night before taking the naga statue out, she had a dream about a woman with a funny animal face with a very long body, she described it as looking like a giant monster lochness, biting her.
So after the naga statue was taken out and the getor puja done, her fever started to go down and she didnt feel as much anger anymore (she was feeling a lot of anger build up before then). But then yesterday night (night after the naga was taken out) she had another dream about a dog biting her. So we are now wondering if the dog bite dream is also significant of some more harm coming? Could you please explain what this could mean?
Thank you
Dear Gabriel,
The important thing is, after the getor puja has been done, there is improvement in your friend’s condition. Her experience with the naga was due to karma created in past lives. Don’t worry about the dream of the dog biting her. Continue to observe your friend’s behaviour. It would be good for her to study the Dharma and practice love and compassion for others in order to gain merits and benefit other beings. By taking refuge in the Three Jewels, doing Dharma work and leading a meritorious life, her problems will go away.
