Guru Rinpoche Tsok Day
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Guru Rinpoche Tsok Day (for the Root Guru Padmasambhava) is the 10th day of each month of the Tibetan calendar.
The practice of the Guru Rinpoche Day Tsok came about from Guru Rinpoche’s promise to his Sangha that whatever is offered to him on his special day, the merit will be multiplied. With this good intention, it is a good time to generate all the prosperity and good karmas to others as well as a good way of accumulating good merits. Therefore, the benefits of practicing on Guru Rinpoche Tsok Day are truly magnificent.
Rigdzin Dupa (A Practice on The Inner Aspect of Guru Rinpoche)
“‘The Gathering of Awareness Holders’, is a very powerful practice for dispelling obstacles and is one of the three root sadhanas in the Longchen Nyingthig tradition.” — Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche.
This practice includes a tsok or feast offering, so please bring an opened food offering, flowers and/or other offering.
