Chi Lu (Longevity/Life Extension Ritual)
This vajrayana ritual is a profound means to avert obstacles to long life.  It is a special practice to remove obstacles that shorten our life span. By making offerings that satisfy our creditors, who aim at taking our life force and energy, we could avoid untimely death. Those who cannot attend the ceremony can make the arrangement of bringing your fingernails, hair and some coins to the centre beforehand. These things will be offered during the puja. By doing this, one can clear the karmic debts by repaying our creditors directly.

Chod
Chod means cutting through, severing erroneous concepts about the world of appearances and illusions regarding the existence of a personal self. The practice of Chod is an advanced skillful method that enables practitioners to become free of clinging to false notions and beliefs regarding inherent existence of appearances and experiences and therefore of an individual self. Attachment and clinging to a self are forces that give rise to the defilements, which are the source of anguish and pain.  Chod is the practice that enables disciples to understand emptiness of all appearances that are fit to arise and therefore can be apprehended. It is an exceptional practice.

Dzambala
Dzambala’s prayer is conceived by Buddha for the practice of generosity. Dzambala is the highest of eighth levelBodhisattva who provides the opportunity for devotees to sow “seed money” so that they will have constant supply of fortune to facilitate their practice of generosity.  Dzambala is not to be mistaken as a worldly God. He possesses remarkable power to free sentient beings from the clutches of poverty and starvation and guides them towards ultimate Buddhahood.
