To serve as a means of sustenance and support for the monastic community, we are selling these vases which can benefit us with the money we earn from the sales. Our Monastery often has various expenses, such as the maintenance of the monastery grounds, the provision of food and shelter for the monks or nuns, and the funding of educational, and charitable activities or Dharma Centres around the world. The shop can help generate income to cover these expenses and support the monastic community’s needs. Ultimately, the purpose of selling those vases and religious items goes beyond mere commerce. It serves as a practical means of sustaining the monastic community while also facilitating outreach, education, and the sharing of spiritual and cultural values with the wider world.
The Dharani Section prepares these vases with great care and attention to detail. They are finally consecrated by His Holiness Kyabje Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche.
The Vases include the Prosperity Vase (yangbum), Naga Vase (lubum), and Treasure Vase (sachued bumpa).
The Naga vase is a customary container used for ages by the Bhutanese people to stock and preserves medicinal herbs of the Naga (Lumen) and Naga substances (Luzey). These substances have been utilised for generations to cure various ailments. The vase symbolises the rich cultural heritage of the Bhutanese people. The vase is made of high-quality materials and is intricately designed with unique patterns and motifs that reflect the Naga culture and tradition. It is believed that the design of the vase can significantly affect the potency and effectiveness of the stored herbs. The medicinal herbs in the Naga vase are known for their unique healing properties and are used to treat ailments such as fever, cough, cold, and digestive problems. The Naga community has an extensive knowledge of the medicinal properties of herbs and uses them as a natural cure for health issues. The Naga vase is not just a receptacle for storing medicinal herbs; it is also believed to be a sacred item that holds great spiritual importance for the faithful. The vase is imbued with divine energy and can bring good luck and prosperity to those who possess it. Overall, the Naga vase is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Bhutanese people and serves as a reminder of the importance of traditional medicine in modern times.
The Treasure Vase is an object of great significance and revered in many cultures. It is believed to contain sacred substances, also known as damzay, passed down through a lineage of noble masters. This distinct lineage ensures the vase is made with great care, attention to detail and reverence. The sacred substances are carefully selected and combined to create a unique blend believed to have powerful spiritual properties. The Treasure Vase is often used in rituals and ceremonies to invoke blessings, prosperity and abundance. It is also considered a symbol of the Buddha’s teachings on the importance of mindfulness, compassion and generosity, as well as an embodiment of the qualities of wisdom, compassion and power. The Treasure Vase is a reminder that true wealth lies in spiritual abundance rather than material possessions and that spiritual growth is the most valuable treasure.
A prosperity vase is a revered object in many cultures, especially Tibetan, Chinese and Bhutanese traditions. Various precious substances are believed to bring the owner luck, prosperity, and good fortune. The vase contains a blend of substances for yangzey rilbu and auspicious substances. These substances may include precious stones, metals, herbs, and other rare materials carefully selected for their unique properties and symbolic meanings. For instance, turquoise is believed to have healing properties and is associated with the sky and water. Gold symbolises wealth and abundance, while silver brings protection and tranquillity. The prosperity vase is a powerful symbol of abundance and prosperity, and it is believed that keeping one in your home or workplace can help attract positive energy and good luck. Many people also use the vase as a focal point for their meditation practice, as it is believed to have a calming and grounding effect on the mind. The prosperity vase is a significant and cherished tradition passed down from generation to generation. It holds a special meaning and is considered a beautiful and valuable aspect of cultural heritage. Its significance goes beyond its physical form, as it embodies the aspirations of many individuals for a life filled with abundance, prosperity, and happiness.
