Green Tara Tsok 11:00 a.m.

The practice of tsok or feast offering is a very powerful method for accumulating merit and wisdom. Integrated into our regular chanting practice of Green Tara, the tsok involves blessing food and drink, and then offering it to all beings as vast as the sky–including ourselves. By celebrating the offerings as possessing “thatness” (the true nature of reality), we transform our ordinary perceptions of the world into deep insight. Lama Nancy will explain what we are doing as we go through the practice.

You can bring offerings to be included in the tsok, such as candies, cookies, chips, nuts, pretzels, crackers, fruit, raw veggies, cheese, juice, soda, etc., and they will be blessed and distributed during the practice. This is a “white” practice, i.e. one that does not involve meat or alcohol.

If you have any questions about what to bring, please email Lama Nancy. (nburks.61053@yahoo.com)
