We will celebrate this special Guru Puja on Losar (Tibetan New Year) to honor the anniversary of Lama Yeshe's passing away. Lama Yeshe, the co-founder of FPMT, together with Lama Zopa Rinpoche, passed away in the early morning of Losar in 1984. Rinpoche said there is incredible merit in offering tsog on that occasion each year. Guru Puja (Lama Chopa) is the practice of making offerings and requests to all the Buddhas and holy beings, but especially the root guru, who, according to the teachings, is the root of the patch to liberation. When coming to a tsog, bring a food offering to share. This is usually a snack item that can be easily passed out. All are welcome. This practice is being led by Emily Hsu, Resident Teacher.
