The blessings of the Holy Vajrasana Temple are not just for human beings. Various light forms and beings from other realms including ghosts and spirits are seen and photographed at this site. When the yurt was finished and furbished as the Protector Chapel, students saw a pillar of pink neon light enter the skylight of the yurt from high in the heavens on the viewfinder of a camera. This same beam of bright light was seen by several others and sometimes around the vajra poles. Ghost-like lights often appear, as do other light forms as seen below. CLICK for photos of “Dharma Mandalas” or orbs that appeared on tour of the 50 states to introduce the book H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

Beings from the animal realm also come including swarms of bees and a large goose with a sometimes mohawk and an attitude named “Dharma Duck” who wanted to come in whenever we listened to Dharma discourses by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. He would fly against the windows and peck on the front door until we opened the door enough so that he could hear. Dharma Duck is shown above receiving a holy Vajra-Bodhi Pill and its special blessings.

The neighbors horses and cattle were also visitors. Captive and abandoned animals are given homes and cared for. H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has told us to set aside October 29 of every year to formally release captive living beings. Click to see the fish release held at the temple in 2010 and the fish release in Thailand held in 2015CLICK  for the ceremony used in living being release ceremonies and to give the Three Jewel Refuge ceremony to pets and animal friends.

Spirits or ghosts outside the kitchen door where we leave our offerings for the hungry ghosts and local spirits. The one's we can sometimes photograph elsewhere are not so plump.
