Sipe Gyalmo Tsok Offering at your place!
November 21, 6pm – 7:30pm Pacific Time
Chaphur Tulku Geshe Tsewang Rigzin
For many of us this year has been an especially stressful time as 2020 has brought the difficulties of a worldwide pandemic, increasing political strife and for many, the acute sufferings of social injustice.
The perspective of Tibetan medicine and spirituality suggest that these traumatic events pose a danger to each individual’s la (life force). When one’s la is damaged, one may experience profound depression, a decrease in energy and a loss of interest in the activities of life one previously enjoyed,
Sipé Gyalmo is the supreme emanation of the Bönpo protectors, an enlightened protector who blesses the practitioner with the power to heal. This healing power has been transmitted through the ages, without interruption, from Yeshe Walmo (who is herself an aspect of Sipe Gyalmo), to the Bön teachers of our present day.
Merely being present at Sipe Gyalmo healing rituals blesses one with the energy of healing. Receiving the transmission of the teaching also allows students to cultivate their own healing energies through the Sipe Gyalmo practice. During this event, we will offer tsok as a display of respect and as a request for her blessings.
Chaphur Geshe Tsewang Rigzin will give instruction on the essential points of both the offering and the ritual. Also, he will guide us step by step through the tsok itself. He will be broadcasting from Menri Monastery in Dolanji.
