Rinpoche gave this advice to a study group on practices to remove obstacles.

  • Gyab shi: To be done twice—once at Serkong Dorje Chang’s gompa and once at Tubtop Rinpoche's gompa.
  • Controlling fire puja (Kurukulla): Rinpoche will do this when he is in the USA.
  • Wrathful fire puja: It’s not easy to find lamas to do this, but Pari Rinpoche comes out very good. This puja can be done in Dharamsala, and Khadro-la can also be invited,with Pari Rinpoche.
  • Dukkar (White Umbrella) puja: To be done by fifty-five times by Bhati Khangtsen [a monastic house at Sera Monastery].
  • Heart Sutra: To be recited fifty times by the group. In essence, this is a meditation on emptiness.
