As Rimpoche teaches us, offering Tsoh is offering a feast, a feast for all enlightened beings, and all sentient beings including ourselves. It is also one of the most important practices of generosity and is also extremely effective for accumulation of merit.
The workshop will include instruction on altar set-up, mudras, mandala offering, and chants. This workshop is opened to all. Please bring bell, vajra and damaru if you have them. Everyone is welcome to the Tsoh on Saturday. If you are coming just for the Tsoh, please arrive early and bring an offering of good quality food or flowers or make a donation to help pay for the offerings already purchased.
We encourage you to pre-register by Monday, November 7 at [email protected] or
212 966 2807. When pre-registering, please clearly provide your name and contact information. Pre-registration allows our all-volunteer organization to plan more efficiently for setting up the meeting space. Walk-ins the day of the workshop are, of course, certainly still very welcome.
Sonam will be making Tormas for sale to Vajrayana Sangha on special order. Please contact Christine Wright, [email protected] for details and to order.
