    A house blessing and protection prayer creates a peaceful, spiritually environment for us. It invites divine presence into every corner, that’s awesome. It is believed that as the prayers vibrate they create energy, protecting the home and bestowing good luck on its residents. Reading this old post ad looking at those beautiful pictures paints a thousands words. Pastor and team did a great job blessing each of those houses. Inviting a Pastor to do house blessing asking for protection, joy and clearing negatives energy before the start of a New year is wonderful.
    Thank you.

    n Buddhism, attachment is the intense grasping or clinging to impermanent things. All these things ,people, and ideas is taught as the core root of human suffering. Everything in life constantly changes, when we try to hold on to or rather control these things will leads to inevitable disappointment, anxiety, and distress. Such as wealth , belongings and relationship , at the end of the day it will disappoint us. The Buddha taught us renunciation, letting go and non-attachment is because by our default as if those things were permanent. When we recognize that all things and belongings are temporary . When we stop expecting things to stay the same, the desire to cling to them naturally fades. Letting go of the need for control and embrace the reality of exactly of what is happening in this present moment. We could let go of our attachments, by practicing meditation, looking forward and moving on. Still learning from this post.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor for these profound post.

    My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn’t even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr. odumeje  can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 24 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal, and my family and I are living together happily again. I Highly recommend Dr. Odumeje, he is Powerful and really loves spell caster. If you have any problem contact him and I guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. Text/WhatsApp  +2349064108102  Or  VIA

    Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, is the embodiment of transcendent awareness in Mahayana Buddhism. Manjushri practice helps us develop our wisdom when we do it sincerely and with proper visualisation. Manjushri practice can be used to help us with our memory. The practice of reciting the Manjushri mantra is an ancient and powerful Tibetan Buddhist prayers that cultivates wisdom, clarity, and insight. Great teachings in this article, explaining the details of Manjushri.

    The ancient city of Kandy is the cultural capital of Sri Lanka and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Most famous for housing the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, the spectacular Esala Perahera festival, and for being the final stronghold of the ancient Sinhalese kings. A place worth visiting by many as beyond its spiritual heart, this bustling central highlands city is renowned for specific attractions and cultural offerings. The Temple of the Tooth as believed belong to the canine tooth of the Buddha. This golden-roofed temple is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in the Buddhist world. Sri Lanka UNESCO-listed Kandy is home to sacred landmarks, landscaped gardens, and cultural museums. Would like to visit if I have the opportunity.

    I will forever be indebted to the great Doctor Odumeje for fixing my broken marriage after my husband left me for his mistress for 3 months. I never believed in spells until my friend introduced me to him. At first, I was skeptical about him because I heard a lot about false spell casters but I put my doubts behind me because I was desperate to get my husband back and I did according to what he instructed me to do. Now my husband is back just within 48 hours of contacting him. I’m living happily with my husband again after months of divorce and I will not rest till he’s known all over the world.

    Revisit this article ,reminds me of the great memories visiting this spiritual and historic years ago with the blessing of our Guru . Tibet, China is one of the highest cities in the world and serves as a major center for Tibetan Buddhist pilgrims. Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, Drepung Monasteries, Barkhor Street, Gaden Monastery, few other Monasteries and beautiful sacred lakes. indeed worth visiting. I have the opportunity to on a pilgrimage going those sacred Monasteries. We did visited the famous Potala Palace former residence of the Dalai Lama and now is an UNESCO World Heritage site . This unique residence is an architectural marvel of wood, earth, and stone. Potala Palace is the most recognisable landmark in Lhasa where many tourist and pilgrims will visit .Reading this very informative post ,many going there will be much easier.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Stella for this sharing.

    Manjushri is a bodhisattva who represents wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism. The Standing Buddha statue posture symbolizes the Buddha’s readiness to help and assist all sentient beings. This amazing standing Manjushri is located at the Manjushree Park at Chobhar, in Kathmandu, Nepal. Recording to legend it is believed to be the exact spot where Manjushri had cut Chobhar Hill and drained the water from an ancient lake. And that’s where Kathmandu valley is formed. Because of the spiritual significance the Standing Manjushri was built preserving Chobhar’s cultural and now is a tourist attraction. The legend of Kathmandu Valley is closely related to Manjushri as mentioned by the locals.
    Visited this amazing Standing Manjushri years back. Merely by looking at it and circumambulating is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing. May more people have the opportunity to visit such a Holy place.
