Shower of Blessings Tsok

Join us on Saturday, May 18, Time TBD to offer Tsok!

Please email Treasurer@pmctr.org for the live link.

We will practice the Shower of Blessings feast offering (Tib. tsok) for the tenth day of the fourth lunar month which falls this year on Saturday, May 18, 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.

4th month: The deluded ministers and people of Orgyen (Oddiyana) attempt to burn Guru Rinpoche and his consort Mandarava alive. The guru transforms the flames into a lake, from which he emerges with his consort seated on a lotus. The king, his ministers, and the people are filled with devotion. I le is known as Pema Dorje Tsel, "the Guru with Vajra and Lotus."

Excerpt extracted from Tibetan Astrology, in which Phillipe Cornu summarizes Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche's explanation of each month's tenth day. Read more here.
