SUMMARY:Melodious Drum
DESCRIPTION:Melodious Drum — Protector Puja\nThis monthly practice consists principally of extensive prayers to our Dharma Protector\, Dorje Shugden. A Dharma Protector is an emanation of a Buddha or Bodhisattva whose main functions are to avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from attaining spiritual realizations and to arrange all the necessary conditions for their practice. Dorje Shugden always helps\, guides\, and protects pure and faithful practitioners by granting blessings\, increasing their wisdom\, fulfilling their wishes and bestowing success on all their virtuous activities. This practice includes a tsog offering. \nThis puja is occasionally held on the 29th of the month in place of Wishfulfilling Jewel.
