The Gaden Shartse Monks are quite revered in India. We are honored and excited to host them at our serene studio for the Chay Drol Purification Ritual
Chay Drol literally translates as, “to make free of obstacles” is a ritual that helps to remove impediments which prevent one from achieving enlightenment. The ritual begins with the Lama generating himself in the form of a deity. He then places colored strings and pieces of cloth on various parts of the participant’s body; and through ritual, one’s negativities and obstacles are fused to the strings and pieces of cloth. The Lama then uses “Wisdom Weapons‟ to cut the obstacles from the participant, thereby freeing them and opening the door to liberation.
