H.E. Nubpa Rinpoche will be leading a Milarepa Boom Tsok (Hundred Thousand Tsok
Offering) in the holy place, Lapchi, starting 20 Oct 2011.

Rinpoche explains that Boom Tsok is the most effective method for us to
accumulate merits, to pray for the long life of our gurus, and to purify our
samaya with our gurus. When this tsok offering is performed at a holy place such
as Lapchi, it brings great blessings and benefits to all sentient beings.
Rinpoche hopes that Dharma friends from around the world would have the
favorable causes and conditions to travel to Lapchi to participate in the
Milarepa Boom Tsok this year.
