Lama Chopa Tsoh and Potluck

LAMA CHOPA TSOH OFFERING IN CELEBRATION OF RIMPOCHE’S BIRTHDAY

Wednesday, October 26
at 3100 S. 72nd Street
7:30 PM
To celebrate the October 26 birthday of Kyabje Gelek Rimpoche, Jewel Heart Nebraska welcomes everyone who wishes to celebrate the Lama Chöpa Tsoh, a practice which can be of great benefit for beginners as well as advanced practitioners.
The Tibetan word Tsoh means gathering, collection, or assembly. The Tsoh offering is a great feast offered to all enlightened beings and to all non-enlightened beings as well, including ourselves. It is one of the most important practices of generosity, and is also extremely effective for accumulation of merit. This comprehensive practice strengthens our relationship with our spiritual teachers through offerings, especially offerings of our practice. It guides us through a meditation that includes all the necessary prerequisites: after beginning with Mahayana refuge and bodhimind, we generate our visualization of the merit field and invite the actual enlightened beings, to whom we then offer the Seven Limb practice in elaborate and beautiful verses. Also included is a detailed meditation on all the stages of the path to enlightenment.

To participate fully, bring either an offering of good quality food such as bread, cookies, cake or fruit, or an offering of money, which will help to pay for the food which the center has purchased for the Tsoh.

 

A pot luck dinner will follow the Lama Chopa practice. Bring a dish to share or just stay and enjoy good food, good company.
