Prayers for the Deceased

We offer prayers for the deceased with the intention that any obstacles during their transition may be overcome, and with the aspiration that the being meets with a swift and auspicious rebirth. In our daily Red Tara practice we offer prayers for the deceased for the traditional 49 days.

If you wish to make butterlamp offerings for the deceased, this can be done by offering butterlamps every day for 49 days, once a week for seven weeks on the day that the person or animal died, or however you wish. You can arrange for butterlamps here.

It is also possible to arrange sponsorship of certain practices for the deceased, either at Rigdzin Ling or in monasteries in Asia, depending on the circumstances or needs of the deceased and their family/friends. One practice commonly sponsored is Akshobhya Buddha — for more information, please see www.mahakaruna.org.


How to Manage Recurring Donations

Chagdud Gonpa Foundation now processes donations using Donorbox. After a recurring donation is made, you'll receive an email to set up your Donorbox donor account by creating a password. The donation email will be your username.

To edit (change the amount, pause/cancel, etc.) your recurring donation as a donor, go to Donorbox.org and log in to your donor account by clicking the Donor Login link at the top of the page. If you didn't set up your account via the setup email, please use the Forgot Password link. This will allow you to establish a donor account.
