This practice enables the deceased person to purify negativities in their current or previous lives.  This practice can cause the deceased person to reincarnate in a pure land, deva realm or human realm even if they are in the intermediate state or on the way to the lower realms. This particular practice of jangwa, associated with the Medicine Buddha, is especially accessible. Ordinary people can perform this highly beneficial practice without risking the possibility of creating further interferences for ourselves or for the deceased.

This Medicine Buddha Jangwa, Freeing the Wretched From the Chasm, is a tantric practice to be performed by Sangha or those with Medicine Buddha empowerment, on behalf of those who have recently passed away. By Dagri Tulku, Losang Lungrig Gyatso Wangyal and translated by Ven. Gelong Thubten Tsultrim (George Churinoff).
