GURU YOGA/TSOK 
Tuesday March 25, 7:00-8:00 pm
The Tsok offering puja is a ceremony that involves making offerings of food and drink to the Buddha, the Bodhisattvas and our spiritual Gurus in conjunction with prayers, chanting, and meditation. The ceremony is an excellent method of accumulating merit, purifying negativity, and giving and receiving blessings. The Tsok offering is important for renewing commitments and averting obstacles. It is a special method through which we come under the care and guidance of the Dakas and Dakinis who bestow completion stage realizations.

Yamantaka represents the insight that fully understands the changing character of all impermanent phenomena as well as their emptiness nature.
