Tashiding community Buddhist Puja

Описание: Hello Youtoooooberz, my name is Jordan..

Im an Australian traveller interested and inspired by spirituality, anthropology, music, psychedelics, plant medicine and adventure. This experience with the local community of the sacred Buddhist village Tashiding was mind-blowing, heart-exploding and such an incredible insight to the traditions and culture of the Sikkimese Bhutia.

The local community gather in ritual with the local buddhist lamas in prayer for maintaining peace, prosperity, healthy crops and good health within the community and also around the globe. The sculpture's that are being constructed in the beginning of the video (Torma) are made with wonderful attention to detail, they will then take them to be close to the ritual space to be blessed by the lama's (monks). Then the community will make offerings of grain (Oats, barley, maize) and further offerings of cash, candles and prayers. The whole community then creates a convoy to ward off negative spirit's from the village and takes the Torma to a private place (usually to the riverside, but in this case 20 minuted down the hill) for them to rest and be undisturbed.

After leaving the Torma in their resting place and scaring off the bad juju they return to finish the ritual and celebrate, some enjoying the locally brewed tongbaa and closing the evening with some Bhutia song and dance.

I will seek more information on the details of the traditional names and details of this event.

Thank you again for the warmest of welcomes Tashiding, I'll be back for a visit very soon.

Excited to share my first upload!!
