Phowa Foundation
A Special Project of Orgyen Khamdroling

Statue Consecration


The Statue Consecration Project at Orgyen Khamdroling, Denver, CO is held each year. Statues are purchased in Nepal prepared, filled with sacred substances and mantras, and consecrated. You may also send us statues you already have for filling and consecration. Over the years participants from the US, Canada, and Mexico have purchased statues or shipped their statues to us for consecration!

Hundreds of hours were devoted to accomplishing the project with our entire sangha participating in purchasing statues, mantras, and sacred substances in Nepal, receiving and cataloging statues shipped to us, cleaning and painting the interior of each statue, rolling mantras, filling and sealing the statues and finally, consecrating the statues during 3 separate ceremonies and keeping the statues on the Rigdzin Dupa Drupchen shrine for 8 days, then return shipping statues to participants.

It has been a very inspiring experience to be able to provide this service which supports the practice of so many dharma practitioners. Thanks to everyone for your patience, trust, and generosity. All funds raised through your purchase of consecrated statues and your consecration fee donations for statues you sent to us, support our Orgyen Khamdroling Dharma Center.

We will once again offer the Statue Consecration Project this year.
