Shower of Blessings Tsok

Join us on Saturday, October 12, 1 p.m. MDT to offer Tsok!

We will practice the Shower of Blessings feast offering (Tib. tsok) for the tenth day of the ninth lunar month which falls this year on Saturday, October 12, 2024.

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.

9th month: Guru Rinpoche takes the wrathful form of Vajrakumara at Yang Le Sho, in Nepal. He subdues the local deities and negative forces. He practices the sadhana of Yangdak Heruka and at the same time attains the level of Vidyadhara (holder of knowledge) in the realization of Mahamudra. He is known as Guru Dorje Totrengtsel, "the Guru with the Vajra Garland of Skulls."
