Jang-wa (Ritual for the Deceased)

This ritual is for helping to purify negative karmic potentials for the recently deceased, helping to eliminate fears during the bardo in-between period by reminding them about voidness, and helping to activate their positive karmic potentials to attain a fortunate rebirth.

For this ceremony, please bring the name and/or a photograph of the deceased person or persons (also, any pets who have died). This will then be attached to a ritual paper, which becomes the instrument or object used for the purification. The paper carrying the name and photograph of the deceased is carefully burned.

An English/Tibetan version of the  Jangwa Puja is available for download from our website.
