I should mention that I was given them along with blessing pills, so I was wondering what’s the difference and why it is called a ‘blood pill’ ? It was made by my root lama who is passed on. It’s color is red.

As I said, it is probably a pill meant to be used for the blood offerings on your shrine.

Malcolm,
I once was given a gau with what the Lama referred to as “blood pills” inside. They were some kind of blessing pills made with the blood of several high lamas. Presumably this is a different kind of blood pill?
Thanks

Maybe. In this case, better ask someone else.

That’s what I’m asking about. I was told, “this is one of Lama’s blood pills”.
