GURU RINPOCHE'S TSOG OFFERING
"Tsog" means gathering. "Tsog offering" means gathered
together the holy things that we would like to offer and we ourselves gathered
together to do the practice. The Tibetan connotation of "Tsog" is gathered
together with all others dharma brothers and sisters, practising the same puja,
concentrating our minds in one same universal. It is good that we grouped
together to do our practices because hundred people's mind gathered together
will become very powerful.
The "Tsog' term refers to the two accumulations or the
provosions of merits. The overall purpose presenting a "Tsog" is to accumulate
merit and the pristine cognition. Besides, in Tibetan tradition, "Tsog" is
another profound method of purification and gaining realisation. Another
connotation of "Tsog" is
party, a party at which
we share the great wisdom and bliss among us. "Tsog" also regarded as an
indispensable means of conferring accomplishment and pacifying obstacles.
Guru Rinpoche Tsog, indeed it is a kind of rituals and
mandala of feast offering. Gathering of the deities of the three roots will come
to the feast. During then, we will offer the outer, inner and secret offerings
of great bliss. From there, we humbly confess all violations and lapses of
precepts, liberate the obstructions of all attachment to self and others, and
dual-conceptualising into the dharmadhatu state. And may the great bliss of
sameness please the Guru Rinpohce's heart, we pray that Guru will confer supreme
and mundane realisations.
In addition, we offer those Tsog to the protectors and hungry
ghosts too. The arrogant hosts who eat the excess offerings, descend like
clouds, eat ravenously and devour the enemies of the dharma and those who break
their vows. Thus, they will give us some signs immediately. Counteract the
obstacles to realisations and perform Buddhas ceaselessly.
