As the world continues to change, the Tibetan calendar marks 2024 as a pivotal year for harmonizing energies, pacifying obstacles, and planting seeds of peace that will benefit countless beings. According to the Tibetan system, 2024 ends on February 28, 2025, making this a sacred window of opportunity to engage in transformative activities such as placing tsa tsas and stupas in auspicious locations.
Even if you miss this window, your contributions will still create immense benefit. Every tsa tsa or stupa placed—no matter the time—becomes part of the greater effort to purify negativity, stabilize energies, and inspire awakening.
Why 2024 Is So Important
In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, certain years hold unique spiritual significance, carrying the energy to shift karmic and environmental conditions for the better. 2024, according to the Tibetan calendar, is one such year. Every action taken during this time to pacify obstacles and stabilize energies will ripple far into the future, shaping conditions for the pivotal years ahead, including 2030.
The deadline for this cycle of activity is February 28, 2025, when the Tibetan calendar transitions into the next year. However, even after this date, the placement of tsa tsas and stupas will continue to bring blessings and harmony to the world.
What Are Tsa Tsas and Stupas?
Tsa tsas are small, sacred objects crafted from clay or plaster, filled with mantras, sacred relics, and blessings from enlightened beings. They serve as beacons of peace, purifying negativity and radiating positive energy to the surrounding environment.
Stupas, whether monumental or miniature, embody the awakened mind of the Buddha. Placed in high mountains, valleys, oceans, or rivers, stupas anchor the Dharma in the natural world, benefiting beings seen and unseen.
The Blessings Behind the Tsa Tsas
These tsa tsas are no ordinary objects; they have been deeply consecrated and blessed by highly realized masters.
In 2023,
Tulku Sangak Rinpoche spent fifteen days consecrating tsa tsas through powerful practices, including Pema Gyalpo (the Lotus King), Kshitigarbha, and the Fierce Guru Kilaya.
Namchak Khen Rinpoche then devoted two months to further blessing the tsa tsas, drawing upon profound practices such as Pema Gyalpo, Spontaneous Fulfillment of Wishes, and Vajrakilaya.
These tsa tsas are not just representations of enlightened activity—they are living embodiments of these practices, carrying the immense power of purification, protection, and transformation wherever they are placed.
Auspicious Locations for Placement
Waterfalls and River Confluences: These sites naturally amplify the tsa tsas’ blessings, symbolizing the flow and merging of positive energy.
Sacred Mountains and Valleys: These places act as mandalas, grounding the tsa tsas’ transformative energy.
Lakes, Oceans, and Rivers: Water carries the tsa tsas’ blessings far and wide, touching countless beings along the way.
Even a favorite hiking trail, backyard garden, or special spot in your community can become a sacred site when imbued with the energy of a tsa tsa or stupa.
The Ripple Effect of Sacred Activity
Every tsa tsa placed in 2024, following the Tibetan calendar, becomes a powerful prayer in physical form. These objects purify negativity, stabilize environments, and transform obstacles, benefiting countless beings.
Even if you begin after February 28, 2025, your tsa tsa placements will still generate immense blessings. Sacred action knows no expiration date, and each offering you make adds to the collective merit of harmonizing and awakening our shared world.
