Today is Saga Dawa Düchen, one of the most important days in the Tibetan buddhist calendar and during the month of Saga Dawa. The full moon of the fourth month of the Tibetan lunar calendar commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Buddha Shakyamuni. Our actions are said to be multiplied by 100,000 times on this particular day. This is a good day to practice generosity and to engage in virtuous activity.

May all sentient beings gain happiness and the cause of happiness.

May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering.

May they never be separated from the highest bliss, which is devoid of suffering.

May they come to rest in the great impartiality, which is free of attachment and aversion.

White Khechari (Dakini) Puja – In person & streaming
2-4 p.m. EDT
June 10, 2026

On the 25th day of each lunar month, we perform an extended version of the feast sadhana (Tsok) of White Khechari (White Vajrayogini) from the terma of Terchen Barway Dorje. "Tsok" means "gathering" in Tibetan. During the tsok, we gather together the things we are offering (usually food) as well as gather ourselves together to do the practice. Gathering together with other practitioners gives us great inspiration. Tsok is an important practice of generosity and we bless the food offerings with our practice and accumulate great merit. After the practice is completed, the blessed food offerings are shared among the participants and may be taken home to share with others.

This practice is held on the 10th lunar day. It is an extended version of the feast (tsok) sadhana of Guru Rinpoche from the terma of Terchen Barway Dorje. The tsok is primarily a practice of offering, but is also a very powerful method for healing our spiritual connection with our guru and sangha members. Through the practice of tsok offering, we swiftly accumulate merit and wisdom, and purify our obscurations, which is the essence of the path to buddhahood.
