‘Jam mgon rgyal ba’i bstan srung Rdo-rje Shugs-ldan rtsal chen po’i bsangs mchod [dge legs mchog stsol] bzhugs so
- by Ganden Serkong
At the time of wanting to make a bsang offering, collect the incense substances; repeat the refuge and bodhi mind generation verses three times.
HUM, visualising myself as the yidam, from the heart,
Light emanates clearing all faults from incense,
Scent having the five desirable qualities complete in perfection,
Granting uncontaminated bliss fills the extent of awareness.
OM AH HUM (repeat as many times to bless)
HUM, Root and lineage gurus, Three Jewels,
Dakas, Dakinis and Dharma Protectors,
Especially Dorje Shugden and retinue,
By boundless magical power come here.
Also, birth, warrior and patron deities,
Local deities, spirits and guardians with the eight classes,
Assembly of guests worthy of offering please come here.
Each happily dwelling on their seats
For the sake of fulfilling the yogi’s entrusted activities,
Outer, inner clouds of offerings, commitment substances and presents,
Accept these and accomplish the entrusted activities.
KYE! Agar, sandalwood, six medicinal ingredients and plants,
By the smoke cloud from the burning wisdom fire
Completely filling the sky,
Purifies the root and lineage Lamas, Yidams and Three Jewels.
Purifies the Dakas, Dakinis and Dharma Protectors.
Purifies especially the Chief Dharma Protector of Conqueror Manjunatha
Dorje Shugden and four cardinal emanations.
Purifies birth, war and five patron gods.
Purifies local deities, spirits, guardians and the eight classes.
By the power of offering incense to worthy guests
May all obscurations of quarrel and samaya be purified.
May lifespan, merit and power all increase.
Pacify all diseases to humans and animals, famine, war and dispute.
May the crops be good and the rain be timely.
Conquer classes of demons of the dark side, increase the positive,
And having befriended spontaneously and effortlessly,
Attain all goals just as wished.
KI KI SO SO, LHA GYEL LO!
HUM! Being pleased and satisfied, guests return to their abodes,
Returning again upon request for activities.
By this virtue may I myself and all mother beings
Have perpetual auspiciousness of happiness and benefit.
This bsang offering bestowing excellence was composed by the yellow hat lineage holder bearing the reincarnation name Ganden Serkong.

Thank you for this post. I have been making Sang offerings every evening now.
In the beginning, I guess the neighbors weren’t too happy with the ‘smoke cloud’. But, thankfully, they were pretty understanding about it.
In the beginning, there were a lot of disturbances when I offered the Sang, Coincidence? Maybe. But, as time went by, I stopped seeing shadows around my garden. The hair on the back of my neck doesn’t stand up whenever I walk in the garden at night. Guess, the beings are happy with my offering.
Even the dogs don’t howl at the backyard anymore. Thanks. Just thought ‘ll share this.

Thank you for this sharing about bsang offering. This is good for us to learn bsang offering and dedicate to our guru, dharma protector, all enlightenment beings and sentient beings.
By offering the bsang, we wish that all obscurations of quarrel and samaya be purified. May our negative karma be purified, our lifespan be increased so that we have more opportunities to learn and practice dharma and collect merits for the benefit of others.
