The benefits of doing Chang Chog Puja is that the merits accumulated from making offerings are dedicated to the deceased to help them in their karma purification and liberation. It is believed that the prayers and chanting will help to pacify the dead and wandering spirits in the intermediate or Bardo states to relieve them of their sufferings.
Traditionally, lamps are also offered as a dedication to the dead in order to guide them through the bardo by wisdom light. We can pray as well that this light guide all beings of the six realms, removing their obscurations so that they may awaken to their true wisdom nature. With genuine faith and devotion, visualize that with your offerings, countless offering goddesses offer immeasurable lights to all enlightened beings. (Lamp offerings on behalf of each family is $10, for individual is $5 and for Company is $18)
Attached is the Chang Chog Registration Form together with Karmic Debtors Registration which you can use to fill up and send together with your cheque to Zurmang Kagyud Buddhist Centre or you may call personally at the centre and register with our Resident Lama Tsewang(presently in Taiwan, will be back by 20th August) or Lama Kunkjab. It is advisable to give them a call before going down to the centre just in case they may be out attending to other matters or doing house blessings. Thank you and we appreciate your support and attention.

In view of the Qinghai Earthquake which has devasted the lives of
many families in the Yushu County, Gharwang Rinpoche has called and
is appealing to all Zurmang Centres to help lend some support to the
bereaved.
The Lamas and Rinpoches of Zurmang Monasteries in both Qinghai and
Lingdum are offering prayers daily for the victims. Many of the
Lamas are also physically helping in the rescue efforts.
Rinpoche hopes to raise some funds for the victims' families to help
relieve some of their financial sufferings.
We, therefore appeal to all Zurmang devotees and friends to help
show our support to those who are in mourning, besides offering
prayers.
Any amount of contribution, even a dollar from the heart filled with
love and compassion will definitely go a long way to soothe the pain
and sufferings of the bereaved. The donation box is available in
ZKBC centre or you may contact our Resident Lamas at
- 90296287 (Tsewang Lama) or
- 81919166 (Kunkjab Lama)
- or jennythia at this email address.
jennythia@zurmangkagyud.org
Please request for acknowledgment receipt, if necessary.
Please do not issue cheque to the centre for this purpose as the
funds raised will be sent directly to Qinghai. A committee has been
formed in Zurmang Qinghai to handle this "Earthquake Disaster Fund
Raising", we are waiting for Gharwang Rinpoche to provide the
account details.

“The Precious Jewel of Wisdom"
The unbroken line of Gharwang incarnations began in the 14th century. Since then, there has always been a close link between the Karmapa and Gharwang incarnates.

Gharwang Rinpoche will be arriving on 25th November 2009 to conduct four days Dharma program at Ngee Ann Cultural Centre Auditorium from 26th Nov to 29th Nov. 2009 covering teachings, 21 Zambala Puja with Initiations and Tarayogini Initiation.
It is said that in these difficult times plagued with natural disasters and disruptions to one's inner peace, it is particularly important to receive these initiations/blessings to overcome such obstacles and to enjoy a smooth progress in life and in one's practice as well as to accumulate merits and wisdom.
Kindly take note that the teachings on 26th and 27th Nov. which starts at 7.30pm, Rinpoche will be discussing on the Zurmang Lineage' Four Foundation Practices which will probably cover the Vajrasattva and Guru Yoga. We are extremely fortunate to be able to hear this directly from Gharwang Rinpoche who is the Holder or Head of Zurmang Kagyud Tradition which is essentially the supreme lineage of Drupgyud Karma Kamtsang also known as Khandro Nyengyud. ("Nyen" literally means whispering and "gyud" refers to lineage and Khandro means dakini.)
Tilopa was the first to receive The Dakini Hearing Lineage teachings from Vajrayogini--the principal dakini and consort of Cakrasamvara. Naropa received the teachings from Tilopa who transmitted the essence orally to Marpa and restricted the teachings to a single lineage holder for 13 generations. The lst Gharwang(known as Trung Mase) was the 13th generation, after Tilopa pledged to return upon obtaining teachings from the Celestial Buddha Vajradhara. First Gharwang was recognised by 5th Karmapa Deshin Shegpa.
The present 12th Gharwang Rinpoche was recognised by 16th Karmapa. Since the 14th century, there have always been a very close and intimate link between the Karmapa and Gharwang incarnates. So much so, the present 17th Karmapa is waiting to receive the transmission of Zurmang Khandro Nyengyud from Gharwang Rinpoche himself.
It would be good and auspicious not to miss this teaching which is filled with lots of blessings!
Due to circumstances beyond our control, for those who chose to drive during those days of the program, you are kindly requested to park at UE Square, Park Mall or Fort Canning Park as the basketball Court is not available from 23-30 Nov. 2009. (Advised by Ngee Ann Cultural Centre). We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Thank you for your patience.

making offerings are dedicated to the deceased to help them in their karma
purification and liberation. It is believed that the prayers and chanting
will help to pacify the dead and wandering spirits in the intermediate or
Bardo states to relieve them of their sufferings.

of deceased and send together with your cheque to Zurmang Kagyud Buddhist

As taught by our Gurus, the cause of happiness and good fortune is our merits, so ZKBC would like to encourage everyone to participate in the weekly 21 Praises Tara Puja & Mahakala on Sunday @ 3pm.
Tara is known as the Mother of all Buddhas because she is the wisdom of reality from which all the buddhas and bodhisattvas are born. The Tara Puja includes offerings and requests to Mother Tara to help us to overcome the inner and external obstacles to our spiritual development and to achieve success in our Dharma practice. Therefore it is extremely meritorious to make a lamp offering to Mother Tara!
You may write whatever you wish to dedicate to and hand to Lama Tsewang before the program. Dedication of merits will be read by Lama Tsewang at the end of each session. (Lamp offering is $10 per family)
Another good news is our Resident Lama Tsewang will be conducting Tibetan classes every Sunday from 2pm to 3pm (that is before the Tara/Mahakala Puja), starting this coming Sunday 5th April 2009
All are welcome!
Thank you.
With metta,
