Traditional Tibetan Ritual Ceremonies by Tibetan Monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery on The Mystical Arts of Tibet Tours

Traditional Tibetan ritual ceremonies (Pujas) are a powerful set of religious ceremonies made up of ritual, chanting, meditation, prayers and mantra performed for various purposes to assist an individual, family and community in their quest to deal with difficulties in their life and also to attain freedom from samsara and to attain the ultimate state of Buddhahood. 

Tibetan monks and nuns offer various pujas at the request of their patrons and devotees who seek to remedy the difficulties present in their life. Pujas are offered for success in medical treatments, career, home, business or for recuperation from sickness or ailments. Pujas are also sought for the benefit of the deceased and their family as well as for the community, state or nation in need of healing, well-being and development.

In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Green Tara is regarded as the embodiment of enlightened wisdom energy. The name "Tara" means "the liberator mother" and she represents both nurturance and protection from danger and illness.  The Green Tara Puja is a request for accomplishment, protection, health, and prosperity.
