SUMMARY:Guru Puja (in English)
DESCRIPTION:(HYBRID) Join us for a relatively short version of this puja
 \, offered in English so we can become familiar with the visualisations 
 and profound meaning of this practice. Containing the whole path to enli
 ghtenment\, this puja\, and guru devotion in particular\, is the foundat
 ion of all spiritual progress. This ceremony helps us create the mountai
 ns of merit necesary to complete the spiritual path\, and draws our hear
 t closer to our precious gurus .Tsok is more than just its literal meani
 ng of “gathering.” It’s a sacred space created in the mind where p
 ractitioners unite with profound spiritual energies\, inviting the dakas
  and dakinis. When we create this special space through offerings and co
 ming together—whether physically or virtually—it opens the door for 
 spiritual insights to naturally arise.The physical offerings we make are
  symbols that guide our minds toward deeper\, internal offerings. In Vaj
 rayana Buddhism\, tsok is a specific feast offering practice done on the
  10th (day of the herukas) and 25th (day of the dakinis) of each lunar m
 onth. Practitioners perform these offerings in connection with their per
 sonal sadhana.To complete the path to enlightenment we need to maintain 
 a strong and pure relationship with the guru. We do this by relating to 
 the different aspects of the guru\, and to ultimately bring forth the in
 ner guru\, the purity of our own mind.\n\n\n\nWhen we do this practice w
 e should think of the meaning of the words and meditate\, not just recit
 e the words blah\, blah\, blah\, like an express train. Doing this defin
 itely leaves an extraordinary imprint of the complete pure path to enlig
 htenment.”Lama Zopa Rinpoche\n\n\n\nThis puja contains the whole path 
 to enlightenment\, and creates a powerful potential for spiritual growth
 . Lengthy yet profound – this puja is a joyous spiritual celebration! 
 It's a rare opportunity to spend the time on the deep meaning of each pr
 ayer\, to touch the heart and transform the mind!\n\n\n\n“Pabongka als
 o says ‘One hundred waters are contained in&nbsp\;Guru Puja.’ Just a
 s all the many streams from the snow mountains and other places go into 
 the ocean\, all the important practices of sutra and tantra are condense
 d here. If you do this practice every day\, you don’t miss anything.�
