Naga Smoke Offering
Hello all,
Due to some recent developments here in Namo Buddha I'm looking for a Tibetan/English translation of the naga puja, (a.k.a. Lu Sang) --- the sadhana used when making smoke offerings to the nagas on lu teb (klu thebs) days. I understand that many Karma Kagyupas simply use the Riwo Sangchod, but I'm looking for a Sang practice directed specifically for the Nagas. Lama Yonten of Thrangu Tashi Yangtse gonpa has kindly allowed me to copy a very short text from Karma Chagme Raga Asya, but it's all in Tibetan. The title is either zhi ba dkar po'i bsangs bsdus pa bzhugs so or rang nyid sbyan ras gzigs sku mdog dkar po bsgom... If you know of an English translation for this specifically, I'd be most grateful.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,
~ Jinpa

Re: Naga Smoke Offering
If anyone also knows a lama in Nepal who holds the transmission for one of the Lu Sang practices in Karma/Neydo Kagyu lineage(s) --- preferably in either the Namo Buddha or Boudhanath areas --- I would also love to about them. Feel free to PM me with contact info.

Re: Naga Smoke Offering
Do you have a scan of the text? There is something like that on TBRC, but it is not legible in places.

Re: Naga Smoke Offering
Ratna,
I have a photocopy of 4 very small pages of text, which includes opening/closing prayers and the 1 page Lu Sang composed by Karma Chagme Raga Asya.
My Tibetan teacher is having me use a dictionary to try and figure out the basic meaning so that I can muddle thru the practice, but really I'd prefer to have a professional translation soon. Do you know of any for this particular sadhana (the title of which was given earlier)?
Feel free to PM me the link to the TBRC text.

Re: Naga Smoke Offering
Not familiar at all with this, but I know someone who might be. His nickname is Naga Chris because when he first came to Nepal he was doing a PH.D. On the Nagas in general. Now he hangs around Boudhanath with White Gonpa people and spends a lot of time in his adopted Villaige in Helambu. I can try to get you his email if you want to talk to him. I assume he knows much of what is available about Nagas as he is in with the Kyaning crowd there and has been for years a Tibetan Buddhist

I've been trying to contact you, first with an ID that stopped working and wouldn't send e-mails ... and now with this new ID that won't allow me to PM you, seems I'm too a n00b to PM first.
I have two small texts from Dudjom Lingpa's sungbum on naga offerings (klu gtor bdud rtsi'i rgya mtsho, and khros ma'i sgrub skor klu gtor bdud rtsi'i rgya mtsho, which is from T'hröma Nakmo cycle). I got very interested in your text with inserts from other masters. Would you be so kind as to send it to me too? My e-mail ID is [email protected]
