Event Details
Join us on Monday, April 7, Time TBD to offer Tsok!
We will practice the Shower of Blessings feast offering (Tib. tsok) for the tenth day of the third lunar month which falls this year on Monday, April 7, 2025.
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.
3rd month: The King of Zahar tries to burn Guru Rinpoche. However, the guru transforms the flames into a lake (the lake Tso Perna or Rewalsar), establishes the Dharma in the land of Zahar and takes the king's daughter, Mandarava, as his spiritual consort. He is known as Guru Pema Jungne, "the Lotus-Born Teacher."
Excerpt extracted from Tibetan Astrology, in which Phillipe Cornu summarizes Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche's explanation of each month's tenth day. Read more here.
Please join us early to set up if you're able to help.
