Clearing Obstacles from the House
Rinpoche gave this advice to a student who was experiencing many obstacles. The student felt some obstacles may have come from their house.
Rinpoche checked the energy at your house after you mentioned it wasn’t good and you thought maybe you could invite some monks to do puja.
What comes out very good is for you to build a stupa in the courtyard of your house where Rinpoche did the sur offering. Namgyalma stupa should be in the center and then around this main stupa are the small ones, the eight types of stupas.
Rinpoche recently advised another center to do sur offering for the termites, which are there because of our karmic debts to them. Also, another lady followed this advice and the termites left, so it is good to do sur offering for the white ants.
Rinpoche said he has mentioned building a stupa to you a few times already. This would be very good for your family and especially for your mother. Your whole family would create a lot of merit.
For immediate need, the following practices should be done:
- Diamond Cutter Sutra: Ask a lama to read this one time at your house.
- Gya tong ba [8,000 verse Prajnaparamita]: To be recited by Geshe-la and other monks who can read Tibetan.
- Offering bath ritual: Bless the vase water with the deity you have done retreat on, like Yamantaka. Then sprinkle the water in every corner of every room of the house.
This is all for the interference to go away.
