benefits of Lama Norlha:
These days, every practitioner needs wealth. There are three kinds of wealth: the external, the internal and the secret. External wealth is material related, like food, clothing, accommodation and comfort in life. Internal wealth belongs to the accumulation of merits, happiness, peaceful mind and being contented. Secret wealth is the growth of primordial wisdom and attaining qualities of enlightenment.
Lama Norlha is the Guru of All Wealth Deities. He is the manifestation of Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) in order to benefit sentient beings. He is viewed as the united form of Guru and Yidam, which is very unique and special. Guru Rinpoche said that to practice a deity of the united form of Guru and Yidam yields extraordinary and special benefits and blessings. As the Guru of all wealth deities or yidams, Lama Norlha seats in the centre of the mandala, surrounded by the four kinds of wealth deities, four kinds of great kings and many other deities. Practicing Lama Norlha, the individual's external, internal and secret wealth will grow and flourish.
