We will practice the Shower of Blessings feast offering (Tib. tsok) for the tenth day of the eighth lunar month which falls this year on Friday, September 13, 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.
8th month: The non-Buddhists attempt to poison the Guru, but he transforms the poison into amrita (nectar). He becomes luminous and inspires faith in the non-Buddhists. He is known as Guru Nyima Ozer, "the Sun-Ray 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.
