SUMMARY:Lama Chopa and Tsog Offering (Guru Puja)
DESCRIPTION:Lama Chopa (also known as Guru Puja) is a practice of guru devotion special to the Gelugpa tradition. During this practice\, the lamas of the graduated path lineage beginning with Shakyamuni Buddha himself\, are invoked\, extending to present direct teachers who have shown the path. Practitioners pay homage\, make offerings\, and request each of them to please bless their minds with the same realizations that they themselves have generated. By offering sincere\, heartfelt requests\, students make their minds ripe to receive the full blessings of this precious lineage and quickly actualize the realizations they need to attain enlightenment. If you wish to experience realizations quickly\, the practice of Lama Chopa is indispensable. \nThe benefits of the practice according to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: \nPracticing this Guru Puja\, which is an integration of the three deities\, makes it much easier to achieve enlightenment in a brief life of this degenerated time. Doing this practice every day\, with purification and many infinite skies of merit\, brings the mind closer to the path to enlightenment and closer to enlightenment itself\, and so much closer to freeing all sentient beings from obscurations and suffering and leading them to enlightenment. Putting the meaning of this into practice in one’s life makes each day extremely rich and worthwhile. \nThis practice is restricted to practitioners who hold a Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment \nPlease register using the link below before attending this event. \nAs part of our commitment to care for your spiritual wellbeing\, and that of our teachers and the center as a whole\, we kindly ask everyone who wishes to engage in this practice answer a few short questions about their practice background.
