Pacifying negative forces
The Namdrol Pemay Gatsal (Lotus Grove of Liberation) at Pema Osel Ling holds a mandala of the eight traditional types of stupas representing the eight miraculous events in the Buddha’s life. In the center of the mandala is a Red Dorje Drolo stupa, which subdues negative forces and liberates upon seeing.
Story of the stupa:
“When such stupas hold transcendent buddhas’ sacred relics, they become sublime supports, the highest field for embodied beings’ cultivation of merit. Moreover, in general, each Buddhist way, great and small, has its own path’s belief system and characteristic manner of identifying stupas...
Further, it is said that in this world, the first among the Victor’s stupas is the Lotus Mound Stupa. Among this series of eight, this account centers upons the special support mentioned above as the Stupa to Subdue Negative Forces.”
Colophon:
“The Stupa to Subdue Negative Forces was consecrated on September 5, 2002, at the isolated retreat center of Péma Osel Ling in the western United States. On completion of that ceremony, some of my spiritual brothers and sisters encouraged me to write the story of the stupa to inspire others’ confidence.
Respecting their wishes, I, holder of the title Lama Tsédrup Tharchin, gathered the essential points and put them in context, in the wish that this text should prove entirely virtuous.”
