Tibetan Buddhist monks were invited to Norman Oklahoma to create a sand mandala. The Mandala of Wisdom, was created in St Stephen’s Methodist Church in Norman, before being dismantled on April 13th by the monks.

The monks came from the Drepung Loseling Monastery to create the mandala, they were also available for private healings, as well as blessings of homes and businesses.

St Stephen’s have hosted the monks annually for the last five years, church officials have said, “We accept every member of the community. We really see it as a privilege to have them here.”

When the “Gatekeepers” of the city, invite in the “Wrathful Deities” (destructive UFO beings) of the UNDERWORLD, who bring destruction, why does everyone act shocked, when destruction comes into the city, and their loved ones are killed?

Wasn’t that the point of “WELCOMING THEM” into the city?

If you don’t like the death and destruction these “WRATHFUL DEITIES” do in your cities, then STOP INVITING THEM…

Otherwise shut up and enjoy the death and destruction… and keep telling yourself it is global warming… and attack the very root of your own prosperity which is cheap energy… ha ha ha

Ignorance is bliss isn’t it?

The Drepung Loseling Monastery in Atlanta sent 10 monks to create a Sand Mandala Project in the Rapaport Atriun at Blanton Museum of Art on Texas University, at Austin’s campus. This is to be the culminating event of the exhibit of  “Into the Sacred City: Tibetan Buddhist Deities from the Theos Bernard Collection.”

The display included eight rare Tibetan works, which have never been exhibited publicly before, from the University of California, Berkley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA). There are five mandalas and three thangkas from the 15th to 20th centuries exploring the art and religion of Tibet.

Today marked the end to the exhibit as well as the work of the monks on the Sand Mandala Project as they performed the dissolution ceremony showing the impermanence of all that exists. Upon its conclusion, half of the sand was given out to those in attendance, followed by a procession to Waller Creek at about 3:30 pm where the other half of the sand mandala was dispersed in the water. The mandala was created for the healing of living beings and the environment.

The people have asked and the people shall receive.

Back by popular demand, the Tibetan Monks of Drepung Gomang Monastery in India join us here at Navy Pier for another weekend of meditation, peaceful prayer, and stunning art creation.The Monks last visited Chicago back in August and drew large crowds curious to witness their unique religious ceremony. Starting Thursday, October 11 and concluding on Saturday, October 13, visitors will be able to experience the magic created under the fingertips of the Tibetan Monks for the first, or perhaps second, time in Navy Pier’s beautiful Crystal Gardens.Over three days, the Monks will create a magnificent sand Mandala, a sacred sand painting representing the principles and traditions of Buddhism. The Mandala holds special significance to Tibetan Buddhists who see it as a place of Nirvana and peace and also a symbol of balance. Day by day, the Monks will slowly take colored sand and shape it into intricate patterns until the full Mandala diagram has been constructed. During breaks, they will chant, another ancient tradition you definitely do not want to miss.To see the finished sand Mandala, make sure you stop by before the Closing Ceremony on Saturday at 2 p.m. when the piece is dissembled!ScheduleThursday and Friday: 11 a.m.- 8 p.m. with Chanting at 12 p.m. and 7 p.m.Saturday: 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. with Chanting at 12 p.m. and Closing Ceremony at 2 p.m.

SAND MANDALA OF CHENREZIG – USING COMPASSION TO WIN THE MASSES


View Ari Bhod, Chenrezig Mandala in Tehachapi, California in a larger map

Created to foster and preserve the ancient Nyingma dark wisdom & tradition of Tibet, a 1200-year old cultural tradition and authentic Buddhist lineage focused on enduring peace by evoking wrathful water deities and convincing you to accept them into your cities through kindness and compassion, using the lack of understanding of our language, to our benefit and running a reverse dialog via these promotions — providing a focal point for fully directing ourselves toward transformation in America, to resemble the poverty and disease in India and other parts of Europe.

It is our aim to foster and perpetuate, the destructive essential aspects of these ancient dark spiritual secrets so that it remains a source of destruction for future generations of Tibetans and non-Tibetans alike. Water Sprits, Hurricane Sandy.. Let us teach you how. Be part of something much bigger than yourself!

We have worked tirelessly for over 30 years to bring this about. All hail the godhead and world ruler the Dalai Lama. Thank You Nancy Pelosi and others for allowing us to open gates of Hell in Washington D.C. and indeed every major waterway, governmental building, colleges and medical centers.

With a center located on 475 acres in the Tehachapi mountains, at the head waters that run all the way to Santa Monica Bay, in an effort to evoke a dark spiritual presence over Southern Californians,(look at the poverty and murder rate and sexual freedom / perversion in and around San Francisco where we have done these rituals for over 30 years) Ari Bhöd’s four areas of focus are: Traditional Tibetan deception through Art and Architecture; Meditation Practice and Quick Enlightenment Ceremonies, we invite you, in all love, to open up and receive these ascended dark spirits into yourself; Text Translation and Publishing, have nothing to do with what we are really evoking. Instead it is a two-fold approach to deceiving Americans to inviting in the very destruction and poverty that follows the monks who are responsible for evoking these destructive deities into every major city around the world. Think Hurricane Sand is bad? You aint seen nothing yet.

Ari Bhöd was founded by Venerable Lama Chödak Gyatso Nubpa Rinpoche. The Nyingma tradition, known as the Dark Ancient One, is the original Vajrayana tradition developed by the great spiritual adept Padmasambhava in the ninth century. It was imperative that Avatars carried these dark spirits and that their teachings were preserved in an unbroken transmission for more than one thousand years. Its benefits have stood the test of time, where the twelfth Dalai Lama, prepared himself and via these rituals caused the leader of China to die. Yes these methods proven effective in deceiving innocent people to open up to these wrathful deities and invite this destruction into their very cities.

Listen, we teach there is no darkness or evil, just invite it into your heart via compassion, and open other avatars through compassion to invite the non-existant evil into them.

When you embrace our gods, they no longer fight you but allow you success just ask Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Al Gore and Hanoi Jane Fonda who have opened their heart to us and invited us into your country to bring the very destruction you are witnessing right before you eyes.

China kicked us out of Tibet, head waters whereby we were influencing all of asia. Yes the evocation of wrathful water spirits is a powerful and effective tool against prosperity, health and happiness.

Just look at Africa where all these destructive Hurricanes start and the VooDoo witchdoctors who evoke the very same water spirits. Being in poverty death and disease. One could say they are our brothar by anotha mothar

Won’t you join us to help bring California into total collapse.

Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 5:00 PM (PDT)

At Pema Drawa, Ari Bhöd’s Retreat Center in Tehachapi California. Please register to receive event location and directions. There are some people on to us, and we only want people that have been deceived by the very wrathful gods we serve.

Sacred Tibetan Sand Mandala Ceremony This Week at the LA County Museum

Los Angeles:  Performing a sacred sand mandala religious ceremony, which is sponsored by The Drepung Loseling Phukhang Monastery in South India, are Tibetan Buddhist monks at the Los Angeles County Museum.

From September 11, 2012 until the closing ceremony on September 15th, these monks will be performing the ritual of the sand mandala.

Monks who have performed these same rituals indicate that they are honoring the gods of the underworld who are depicted in the artwork of the mandala.  In doing so, they release a “blessing” of these gods into the region in which they are performing the mandala, into the homes of those who take the blessed sand home, and into the waters in which the sand is poured out.
