What is a Tsok Offering? Tsok is a profound Vajrayana practice of offering that swiftly gathers the accumulations of merit and wisdom and simultaneously purifies our obscurations. Tsok is a practice of pure perception where one makes generous food offerings to a visualized gathering of awakened beings. Tsok allows one to accumulate a vast amount of merit, accumulated 100,000 times, and to purify any broken vows or commitments (samaya). Thank you, Tashi Delek!

During the annual puja/cermony, between 800-1000 members gathered in the main temple, starting from 2am until 2pm, they had lunch at the temple and made their offerings and prayers signifying the beginning of a new astrological year. All memebers gather to sing and dance traditional songs that have been passed down through the centuries.
