Gyapshi (400 Hundred Offering Obstacles and Clearing Prayer) 四百供法会
Gyabshi is one of the most potent and elaborate pujas for situations where nothing else works. It calls on the blessings and protection of Yamantaka, Setrap, Dorje Shugden and Buddha Shakyamuni and is coupled with extensive offerings and rituals to generate an overwhelming amount of positive energy to clear negativities and dangerous obstacles of health, financial or even supernatural causes.
It is recommended for situations which have dangerous or even life-threatening consequences such as severe illnesses, financial or legal issues, physical threats and dangerous spirit disturbances.
Benefits:
- Removes the most severe obstacles affecting your personal or business life.
- Overcomes life-threatening health situations.
- Relieves the most dire financial straits.
- Protects from the most malevolent supernatural beings, black magic and curses.
- Purifies heavy negative karma.
- Generates positive energy and spiritual merits.
One of the most elaborate and complicated of obstacle-clearing pujas, Gyabshi is recommended when nothing else works. Literally translated as “400 offerings”, it traditionally involved the offering of 100 stupas, 100 ritual cakes, 100 lights and 100 men, and could only be done by the wealthiest of nobility due to the tremendous expense involved. Fortunately, this powerful puja is now available in abbreviated form today.
The puja requests Buddha Shakyamuni to “talk” to and bless the spirits before we send them away. Offerings include 100 stupas, 100 candles and 200 tormas to generate tremendous merit for sponsors and to appease the spirits or obstacle-makers.
