Protection from Wildfire

Date of Advice:
Date Posted:

Rinpoche gave this advice to a center when a wildfire was approaching.

Rinpoche said to put the mantra to prevent fire on the boundaries of the property. [Find links to a printable card of Vairochana mantra here.]

Also place a photo of the White Umbrella Deity (Skt. Sitatapatra; Tib: dü kar), in the same places as the mantra, facing outward from the property. The photo should be approximately 12 × 9 inches, as a rough guide. 

The residents need to recite both the Heart Sutra and White Umbrella Deity prayer several times.
