  • A concise method for dispelling the spirit of poverty, connected to Lama Norlha (Wyl. bla ma nor lha'i g.yang chog dang 'brel bar bse rag rdzong thabs mdor bsdus)[4]
  • Aspiration Prayers – the 100.000-fold wealth of Padma, a wish-fulfilling Jewel (Wyl. pad+ma g.yang 'bum yid bzhin nor bu las khol du phyungs pa'i smon lam dang bkra shis)[5]

The Lama Orgyen Khandro Norlha practice is part of the Tsokye Tuktik cycle of Dudjom Rinpoche, which was revealed as a gongter in 1929, in Tibet. In this cycle which focuses on the lama practice, it is the inner form of the lama.

The Purpose

According to Dawa Chödak Rinpoche[6]:

The Orgyen Norlha practice is especially effective for capturing, restoring and increasing the energy of 'yang' or wealth. Wealth in this sense not only refers to monetary wealth, but to anything that has value in our lives—the richness of vibrant health, nutritious food, clean environments; the prosperity that comes from the creative forces of the universe, the richness of friendship and community, the wealth that comes from inner peace and happiness, as well as material prosperity. As the world is now plunging deeper into economic crises and hardship, the need to strengthen yang and restore lost yang is greater than ever!”

Propagation

According to Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal, Dudjom Rinpoche buried many treasure vases in Tibet before leaving[7]:

Due to unfortunate, inevitable coming events, many bad omens appeared all over Tibet in the late 1940’s. During that time, Zangdok Palri Lama Ling Monastery was damaged by earthquakes. Dudjom Rinpoche, however, continued to bury treasures vases, build stupas, and do ceremonies to restore and balance the earth energetic points where King Songtsen Gampo and many subsequent masters had built temples.

In the West, the tradition of drupchen focused on Lama Orgyen Khandro Norlha has been implemented by direct students of Dudjom Rinpoche, such as Lama Tharchin Rinpoche and Dawa Chödak Rinpoche.
