    Happy Guru Rinpoche Day!

    Rigdzin Dupa with Tsok  feast offering - focusing on the inner practice of Padmasambhava to purify our obstacles and to receive blessings & accomplishment from Guru Rinpoche.

    Tsok means “gathering together” for a spiritual feast. The practitioners come together, the food and drink to be offered to everyone is assembled, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas gather together, and finally as a result of this practice, merit and wisdom are accumulated or “gathered together” by the participants.

    Today is Amitabha/Phowa Day

    Buddha Amitabha, whose name means ‘Boundless Light’ is particularly associated with the clear light of liberation that dawns when one recognizes the true nature of one’s own mind. This subtlest manifestation of mind arises also at death and is known as the clear light of death.

    Phowa – Namchö Practice - The practice of conscious dying and the transfer of Consciousness to the Pure Land; a profound way in which Dharma is realized spontaneously.
