Event Details
Join us on Monday, December 29, 5 PM MT to offer Tsok!
We will practice the Shower of Blessings feast offering (Tib. tsok) for the tenth day of the eleventh lunar month which falls this year on Monday, December 29, 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.
11th month: In Bhutan, the Guru takes wrathful form and places the local deities and protectors under his own control. He converts them into guardians of the termas (hidden teachings) and initiates them into the secret oral teachings, which are only revealed to tertons (discoverers of termas). He is known as Guru Dorje Drolo, "the Vajra-Wrathful Guru."
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.
