BENEFITS AND PRACTICES RELATED TO STATUES & STUPAS Part 3: Essential Advice for Filling Statues and Stupas

by Shalkar Melong, commentary by Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Leaving a statue empty is like offering nothing to the buddhas and can create obstacles. Therefore, it is important to put something inside the statue, even a few mantras and some incense. This book contains instructions for properly filling and consecrating statues and stupas of any size. It includes the root text of Shalkar Melong, translated with commentary by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, which provides detailed instructions for filling larger holy objects. Also included are the Sung Drub and Rab Nä ceremonies for consecrating your holy object.
