Divine Blue Water: A Contamination-Purifying Smoke Offering
By Kyapje Dudjom Rinpoche
Divine Blue Water (lhachap ngönmo) is a smoke offering (sang) ritual that functions as a remedy against ritual pollution (drip), specifically the form known as ‘contamination’ (nöl). The text is attributed to Padmasambhava, but was not hidden as a treasure (terma); it was painted on the wall at Samye Monastery and it is from there that the textual lineage derives. Kyapje Dudjom Rinpoche (1904–1987) edited the version published here, which appears in modern editions of the Nyingma Kama.
