Prayer Ceremony for Health and Long Life
As a Buddhist nation, Buddhism is very much imbued in our daily lives. The first thing we do in the morning before having a cup of hot butter tea (suja) is go to the altar and offer our prayers for the well-being of all sentient beings in the world.
Sacred Bhutan
According to the great Buddhist Saint Guru Padmasambhava, Bhutan is noted as the most sacred and sanctified paradise in the universe. Thus, if we make an effort to chant or say prayers at some of the most venerated monasteries and pilgrim sites, the prayers and wishes are believed to come true.
Therefore, our company offers special prayer ceremonies for guests to pay homage to the region's deities.
What We Offer
Besides the ceremony, if our guests are interested in learning deeply about Buddhism, we also offer rituals such as:
- Teachings and blessings by respected lamas
- Changing and hoisting of village prayer flags for prosperity and well-being of the community
- Consecration of buildings
- Community prayers and fasting ceremonies
Prayer Flags
We also let our guests hang prayer flags on hilltops, along bridges, and other sacred locations. Hung high to catch the wind, they are placed there because they are believed to bring good luck, happiness, long life, and to offer good karma to all sentient beings.
