Description

The elaborate Shenyingdudog puja is based on the Heart Sutra — one of the most important sutras in the Buddhist canon. It is highly effective to counter strong negative influences, especially those of supernatural origin. The ritual includes 252 recitations of the Heart Sutra and extensive offerings of tormas (ritual cakes) to generate a tremendous amount of merit for sponsors, participants and even the spirits.

It is customary to provide these details for this particular puja to have greatest effect:

  • Name of the person/entity the puja is being done for
  • Gender
  • Age
  • Photo
  • Small piece of clothing (optional, no socks/undergarments)

* This is a puja/prayer service; no items will be shipped.
* Please read the “Service + Offering Guide” for additional information.
Benefits
  • Overcomes serious obstacles affecting your personal or business life.
  • Dispels harm from spirits, black magic and curses.
  • Removes unseen disturbances.
  • Counters negative influences of supernatural origin.
  • Purifies heavy negative karma.
  • Generates positive energy and spiritual merits.
Many sponsors experience immediate relief and results after a puja is dedicated to them. However, severe cases may require time to overcome the problem, especially if the issues have persisted for a prolonged period.
If this describes your circumstances, you may wish to order multiple pujas or request a recurring puja subscription depending on the severity of your situation.
About this Puja

Shenyingdudog is an elaborate obstacle-clearing ritual which is closely related to the Heart Sutra. It is often prescribed during divination to clear negative spirit disturbances.

  • Offerings include 28 lu tormas which are offered to the spirits or obstacle-makers.
  • A “sponsor lu” is also created in the likeness of the sponsor, and decorated with their photo, clothes, and representations of wealth.
  • During the puja, the spirits and obstacle-makers are invited to enjoy the offerings.
  • In particular, the ritual includes 252 recitations of the Heart Sutra — 9 times for each lu torma.
  • Finally, the lu tormas and sponsor lu are escorted out of the building. This symbolises that the obstacles follow the tormas, freeing the sponsor of further disturbances.

About the Heart Sutra

The Heart Sutra, or the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, is one of the most well known of Buddhist scriptures. Although short, it is rich in meaning and history as it contains the essential concepts of Buddhist beliefs and philosophies. People who are afflicted by spirit disturbances are sometimes advised to recite the Heart Sutra as it is also very beneficial to the spirits who come looking for help.

About Pujas

A puja is a formal set of rituals and prayers to help you overcome obstacles and create the results you’re looking for. Pujas work by purifying karma and creating merits. Merits are a special type of energy that can give you a good life situation and propel you to the highest spiritual state. What’s more, merits are superior to good karma because they won’t run out.

Pujas are traditionally performed in temples by qualified monks, nuns or lay practitioners. Each puja is centred around a specific Buddha deity, which is in turn centred around a particular aspect of enlightened activity or quality in order to fulfil a specific function.

They are done on behalf of benefactors who contribute towards the cost of the pujas and offerings. In return, the benefactor receives specific benefits such as:

  • Healing + long life
  • Better finances
  • Success in personal + business endeavours
  • Protection from seen + unseen dangers
  • Fewer obstacles + challenges
  • Favourable situations
  • Purification of past negative karma
  • Good karma + great merits
  • Positive rebirth in higher realms

Puja offerings

It is customary to make an offering when requesting a puja. Puja offerings are a practice of generosity which adds to the accumulation of merit and creates auspicious connections between the benefactor, the person being prayed for, the Buddha being prayed to, and the sangha/practitioners offering the prayers and pujas. Puja costs are generally determined by:

  • Puja type and size
  • The physical offerings required such as candles, flowers, incense, tormas (ritual cakes), tsog (feast offerings) and other substances
  • Token monetary offerings for monks, pastors or puja practitioners
  • Contributions to cover the running costs of the monastery/temple.

FAQs

What is a puja?

Pujas are a special method to generate and direct positive energy towards a positive aspiration, through a series of rituals and prayers. These group prayers generate stronger energies than when performed by just one person, and can be done for yourself or on behalf of someone else.

Why do I need a puja? 

Pujas are an alternative solution to rectify and improve every life situation. When other remedies have failed, our pujas call upon the assistance of the awakened Buddhas to swiftly purify your obstacles, change the outcome of your karma and fulfil your wishes.

How does it work?

Pujas fundamentally work by purifying negative karma which is the source of problems and obstacles, and generating spiritual merit which creates favourable conditions for wishes to fruition. Each puja invokes a specific Buddhist deity to help you in specific ways.

What types of problems can pujas help with?

Pujas can avert and overcome three main types of obstacles.

  1. Worldly obstacles which affect daily life, relationships, financial stability, and success in career and business
  2. Inner obstacles which affect physical health and mental state
  3. Secret obstacles which obstruct spiritual attainments of wisdom and everlasting happiness
How much does it cost?

The cost varies according to the type of puja, size and frequency (depending on the severity of the case). This determines the number of practitioners, the quantity of offerings, and other incidental costs. Pujas start from RM300. You can opt for small or medium-scale pujas done on a one-off, monthly, weekly or daily basis according to your needs.

How many people are needed?

Pujas at our puja house are performed by a minimum of four practitioners and a maximum of 12. Pujas at the monastery can be performed on a more elaborate scale with up to 600 monks. The scale of the puja depends on the purpose of the puja, the gravity of the obstacle, and your needs and wishes.

Do I need to be a Buddhist?

No, you don’t have to be a Buddhist to have pujas done for you or others. Buddhas are awakened beings who will help anyone regardless of faith, culture, social class or origin.

Are pujas safe?

Rest assured that our pujas are safe. Buddhas are fully enlightened and will never cause harm to you or any other being. Buddhas do not require anything from you in return for their assistance.

What determines a puja's effectiveness?

On your part, you should request your puja with good motivation for positive aspirations and without harmful intentions. On our part, we conduct the puja rituals properly according to an authentic tradition and lineage, with all the requisite offerings and substances.

Which puja is right for me?

What should I do on the day of the puja?

You don’t need to make special arrangements on the day of the puja. If you wish, you may choose to be vegetarian for the day, or recite short prayers or mantras associated with your puja. We would be glad to provide additional guidance, please get in touch with us.

How soon will the effect be felt? Is success guaranteed?
