Avalokiteshvara Tsok*Wednesday, June 18th, 7pm
Saga is the name of this fourth lunar month. Dawa means "month" in
Tibetan. Saga Dawa is the month commemorating three main events in
Shakyamuni Buddha's life -- his birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana.
The full moon of Saga Dawa is the most auspicious day of this powerful month: All actions, both positive and negative are multiplied 10 million times. Please be aware of this.
On this day, Wednesday June 18th, 7pm, we will be offering tsok and lighting butterlamps. Whether or not you can attend this tsok you may offer butterlamps during this magnified time. Please use our online form www.amritaseattle.org, or call and leave a message at 206 368 7974, or reply to this email with your dedication.
Lamps are 50 cents apiece. Mail your offering to: Chagdud Gonpa Amrita, 2223 NE 137th Street, Seattle 98125. Please mark "butterlamps" on the subject line of your check.
For tsok, please arrive earlier than 7pm, if you, to help set up and prepare tsok and plan to spend a few minutes cleaning up afterwards. This would be both beneficial and meritorious.
Remember to park discreetly in the neighborhood and avoid parking on 23rd Place NE (east side of Gonpa) or across the street. Best to park at Bruce's on the east corner of 23rdNE and NE135th.
*empowerment is required.
