Event Details

We will practice the Shower of Blessings feast offering (Tib. tsok) for the tenth day of the first month of the lunar month which falls this year on Monday, February 22. The tsok (feast offering) practice is offered to celebrate each tenth day, Guru Rinpoche Day, in every lunar month. Each Guru Rinpoche day commemorates a particular episode from Padmasambhava's life as support to practitioners who wish to deepen their relationship with him, the buddha of our troubled age. The first month: "Guru Rinpoche renounces his kingdom and practices yoga and meditation in the great cremation ground of Sitavana, the 'cool grove,' where he attains liberation. He gathers around himself the goddesses of the cemeteries, the matrikas and dakinis, and is known as Śantarakśita, 'the protector of peace.'" Excerpt extracted from Tibetan Astrology, in which Phillipe Cornu summarizes Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche's explanation of each month's tenth day. Read more here. H.E. Chhoje Tulku Rinpoche will lead us in tsok practice online beginning at 7:30 p.m. and ending around 9:30 p.m. MST via Zoom conferencing software. Click here to join the Zoom gathering on Monday evening. Please RSVP by clicking "RSVP" above in the title if you intend to join us. We will send out digital versions of the Shower of Blessings liturgy and the various introductory and dedication prayers to the email address you submit with your RSVP no later than one hour before the event. We will turn off the RSVP function at this point so we are able to get the information to those who responded. It would also be good to procure at least the "essentials" for the feast offering (bread, cheese, meat, yogurt, and alcohol) and arrange the items in a pleasing way during the practice just like we do when we practice together at the center. You can also offer anything that looks and tastes pleasing to you! If you would like to make a donation to support this practice at PMC, please donate online by visiting PMC's donation page, or send checks to "PMC" at PO Box 3734, Boulder, CO 80307 and email treasurer@pmctr.org with your pledged donation amount no later than Friday, February 19.
