Learn How to do Sur Offering, for the Success of Our Community

2:00 pm Saturday, November 8, 2014

Based on advice from Khadro-la, our Spiritual Director Lama Zopa Rinpoche has advised all FPMT centers for Sur Offering Practice daily in order to be successful. Rinpoche recently urged centers again to start doing this practice, so Geshe Sangpo will teach us how to do this charity offering to the spirits (especially those in the bardo). He will teach the entire practice, but also how to do a very short version when doing it daily. It is possible for a student to do the practice on behalf of then entire center, perhaps take 6 month turns and rotate with other students, so we will decide as a group how we will do this practice long-term on a daily basis. 

Part of this class involves hands-on mixing of ingredients and burning the food offering to create the aroma offering, so it's important to plan to attend in person to get all the instructions.
