Tempa Lama will offer the teaching and transmission of the profound and powerful Dü Dok ritual prayer for averting misfortune and obstacles.
Tempa Lama suggests that all his students learn this practice because it is very powerful and helpful for ourselves and others. Tempa Lama has been doing this practice all his life as a daily practice.
Dü Dok is a short and powerful chanted ritual prayer that we can do to help ourselves, our friends and family, and all beings. Through this practice, we clear the causes of periodic misfortune and obstacles to the five divine energies of the individual: the Tsog (life force), Lu (health), Wangtang (livelihood), Lungta (social wellbeing), and Lha (soul). Through this ritual, we can avert negative planetary forces and clear the 80,000 different provocations of energy, the 404 kinds of illness, the 80,000 forces of misfortune, the 360 spirits causing danger and accidents, the 81 bad omens, and evil spells and curses. The ritual helps us heal trauma and recurring nightmares.

- Tempa Dukte Lama will be offering the Du Dok ritual
- Recordings are not automatically included but are available for participants at the Standard and Benefactor rate for an additional $25 (see below)
