Tsog Offering

Lama Chopa Prayer and Guru Yoga practice. The prayer consists of making offerings and requesting the blessing of Buddhas to all sentient beings and the inspiration from the Spiritual Teacher (Guru). This practice unites our minds and the mind of the Guru in order to receive blessings and generate realizations on the path to enlightenment. A Tsog offering helps to restore degenerated spiritual vows and commitment.

19 MAY, SUN
11:30am – 3:30pm
Confession and Vajrasattva practice

These days epidemics and wars seem to continuously torment many parts of our world. This is the collective karmic result of the past non-virtuous action accumulated by sentient beings. In order to quickly purify that, we all need to increase the two accumulations of Merit and Wisdom of all sentient beings. The supreme method for accomplishing this is the practice of Vajrasattva and confession to 35 Buddhas.
