"Pleasing the nagas can result in improvements to one’s wealth, fame and health. Peace and harmony can increase, and various obstacles and sicknesses in life can be removed.”
– Tsem Rinpoche –

Nagas are a type of serpent spirit that generally reside in woodlands, forests and jungles, as well as areas close to natural water bodies. These powerful beings are endowed with magical powers and are custodians of great wealth. They are highly sensitive, extremely clean and are easily displeased by pollution, construction, destruction of nature, killing of animals, disharmony and broken samaya.

When nagas are displeased, they can inflict many problems and harm us like a vengeful enemy. However, if we please them, nagas can bring immense benefits and help us, just like a powerful friend.

As many of us have a strong karmic connection with nagas, we are creating a Naga House in Kechara Forest Retreat to establish and maintain a good relationship with these powerful beings. This special shrine will house 50 Naga Vases — consecrated ritual vases which are inhabited by nagas and contain their energy.

The Naga House will also have a Buddha Shakyamuni shrine, gold/silver naga offering vessels, and a naga garden planted with offerings of sandalwood trees, flowers and other fragrant wood.

We invite you to support this special project by sponsoring a naga vase or by making a donation of any amount. Your contribution will fund the construction of the Naga House and Garden, naga vases, altar and offering vessels, consecration ceremony as well as regular naga pujas, offerings and maintenance of the premises.

Benefits of Sponsorship

The Naga House will be very beneficial:

• For the land in terms of pacifying the weather and fertility of the greenery
• For the organisation in terms of generating wealth for Dharma activities
• For the growth of Dharma in general
• For individual sponsors in terms of health, wealth, fame and harmony, e.g.:
  • Healing from illnesses such as cancer, strokes, paralysis, contagious diseases and skin problems
  • Financial growth, material resources and unexpected windfalls
  • Protection from harm and disturbances by lower-level nagas
  • Pleases higher-level nagas so we can receive their help
  • Appeases any nagas that we may have offended

We urge you to take this rare opportunity to befriend the nagas and help the Dharma grow. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
