Question asked by Vuoi
Hi. During my sadhana, someone in my family asked me to do something, they needed help washing something like the plates or what not. But I didn't answer them because I didn't want to get disrupted during my sadhana.
Later on when I finished my sadhana, they were a bit mad that I didn't answer them and that they needed help. I lied about 'doing nothing' when in fact I was doing something very precious. I didn't know if I did the right thing. Anyways next question, in the Dorje Shugden daily practice it mentioned about having tormas and in the prayers there were, and I quote: "Actually arranged and mentally visualised" I dont have tormas physically offered to Dorje Shugden, should I still recite that part or should I skip it
Hi Vuoi,
Another way to have handled the situation was to have told your family member afterwards that you were actually doing your sadhana or prayers. And that you had the intention of helping them after you had finished. In that way, it could have calmed them a little bit and would have probably made them feel less bad.
In regards to Dorje Shugden torma offering prayer, this should only be done when you actually have a torma offering physically to offer. If are not offering torma physically, then you should skip the torma offering prayer. I hope this helps.
