Heruka Day is a blessed day where we receive blessings of heroes and heroines especially powerfully. We engage in Offering to the Spiritual Guide practice as a celebration of it and to enhance our experience of those blessings. Afterwards we will have a sangha party.

Offering to the Spiritual Guide is a special Guru Yoga of Je Tsongkhapa in conjunction with Highest Yoga Tantra that is a preliminary practice for Vajrayana Mahamudra. The main practice is relying upon our Spiritual Guide as a Buddha and making praises and requests, but it also includes all the essential practices of the stages of the path and training the mind, as well as both the generation stage and completion stage of Highest Yoga Tantra. By relying upon Je Tsongkhapa our compassion, wisdom, and spiritual power naturally increase.

Chanted prayers done on the 10th and 25th each month to increase our compassion, wisdom, and spiritual power.

This practice includes a special food ‘tsog’ offering so you can bring a vegetarian food offering with you if you wish.
