Special Gyab Zhi ritual to ward off obstacles

Our lamas now can perform the extensive ritual of Gyab Zhi specially designed to ward off obstacles to people's life, physical and mental health as well as wealth. The ritual has been performed several time last year with tangible success and improvement for the people who requested for it as well as for the people for whom the ritual was requested for. If anyone faces difficulties and wishes this ritual to be performed for oneself or for loved ones contact the Chhimed Rigdzin Society via email.
