Question asked by Jigme Khang
Hello Pastors!
I have questions about Dzambala practices.
I haven't receive empowerment of Dzambala practice but I love to be practice of Dzambhala anyways along with my Ganapati practices.
Could i do water offering to Dzambala or do Dzambala practices without inititation?
What i should visualise during Dzambala water offering or recite his mantra?
What is most important to do Dzambala practices?
Thank you so much.
Dear Jigme Khang,
Yes, you can practice the water offering to Dzambala without initiation and also recite his mantra. We have the practice text available here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/sadhana-prayers.html#14 Tsem Rinpoche has a teaching available here on the practice, but it is only an audio teaching: https://youtu.be/LuwKcE8SckU.
In order to do the practice properly, you will need quite a few items, such as all the sensory offerings, Dzambala offering set with small Dzambala set, etc. Though you can see the prayers here, the best would be to learn the full bathing ritual in person from someone qualified where you are living. I hope this helps.
