Deity Practices For Purification

The document provides instructions for purification practices using the deities Dorje Namjon and Tromo Metseg.

You can also do this with other deities that purify pollution, such as Tromo Metseg. If there is paralysis, in addition to the Dorje Namjon mantra, you can recite the mantras for paralysis, to bless the water. Then the water is blessed and you can use it for washing, and from this purification it is very common that people are healed. Do this practice many times, just doing it once is not enough. Also, it depends on your karma and the karma you have with the lama who does the chabtru puja for you. If you have heavy paralysis, then you have to do it many times, 30, 40, or more. After the lama does the chabtru puja for you, then collect the water that has been blessed by the lama. Then, when you do the washing purification, you mix the collected water from the puja with the other water in a basin, bathtub, or container, and then do washing purification with very strong faith and think that you are purified. This is the visualization: All the buddhas and bodhisattvas are above the water, and also above the water is Dorje Namjon on a lotus and moon seat. As you recite the mantra, all the power and blessings flow down as nectar from the holy bodies of all the buddhas and bodhisattvas, from Chenrezig, into Dorje Namjon's heart. Dorje Namjon then dissolves into the water, blessing it and making it powerful to remove all obstacles. After you finish the blessing, with wisdom faith, you wash. The visualization if you are using the deity Tromo Metseg is as follows: Visualize the deity standing on your head pouring water on you as you do washing purification.2 Mantra of Dorje Namjon:

If you have many practices to do, you can get a statue of Dorje Khadro. This way you dont have to visualize the deity, you can just look at the statue. This is a very powerful purification practice and you collect numberless merits. Using a statue, you can do it very quickly, it makes it very easy, and you dont have to visualize. It doesnt become an effort, and becomes very easy. You can order the statue from Nepal. You can ask the monk you know at Kopan Monastery. You can also do this practice if you are staying in different places.
