14 December 2003 Event at Gyuto Vajrayana Center
Dear Friends,
The Gyuto Monks will perform two Tsogs in December at the Gyuto Center
Thursday, December 18th at 7pm
Tsog Offering and Guru Puja
An offering to our gurus.
Twice a month, based on the lunar calendar, the practice of Tsog offering is done.
It is a commitment for those practicing tantra to restore and reaffirm their vows and
pledges. However, anyone and everyone is welcome to attend this ritual of making extensive
offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, accumulating the positive energy needed
to progress along the spiritual path.
Those participating can bring offerings such as food or flowers. The ritual and offering
takes approximately one hour.
Lama Tsong Khapa Day
The 18th is also Lama Tsong Khapa Day when we celebrate the anniversary of this great
Tibetan master. Tsong Khapa (1357-1419) was the founder of the Gelugpa school of Tibetan
Buddhist and of Gaden Monastery and wrote the seminal text, "The Lam Rim Chenmo".
Monday, December 22nd at 10am
Mahakala Puja
Khensur Rinpoche has said that he wants to offer a Mahakala Puja in order to benefit
all sentient beings. Mahakala is the principle protector deity of the Gelugpa School
and removes all obstacles and hindrances to achieving the spiritual path.
For those attending please remember to park carefully to respect our neighbors.
We look forward to seeing you
Ven. Thupten Donyo
