Blessing Water

Date Posted:

Rinpoche gave the following instructions on how to bless water with the mantra of Dorje Namjom for purification, particularly to help with paralysis.

You can bless water for washing and purifying, with the blessing of Dorje Namjom or the deities that purify pollution. This mantra is particularly to heal paralysis.

In addition to the Nampar Jompa mantra, you recite the mantras for paralysis to bless the water. Recite Namjom and all the other mantras. Then, the water is blessed and you can wash and purify with it. It is very common for it to bring about healing. You have to do it many times, just one time is not enough. It also depends on your karma and the karma of the lama who does the puja. Generally, if you have severe paralysis then you have to do it many times, thirty or forty times. So, you do that and then you collect water blessed by the lama. You can either put the water in a basin or container, and mix it with that water from the lama, and then you can use it for washing and purification. You need to have very strong faith that you are purified.

Or, you can bless the water yourself with Dorje Namjom and Tromo Metsek mantras. You can do the blessing in the bathtub or in the basin where you wash. Bless the water with Dorje Namjom or Tromo Metsek—another deity that purifies pollution. Then, after you finish the blessing, with wisdom and faith, use it to wash yourself.
