10th Lunar Day\u2014Guru Rinpoche Day<\/b><\/p>\n
The 10th day of the lunar calendar is connected with Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) who is revered as the Second Buddha.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Prayers to Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, are considered to be increasingly potent during these difficult times, and he is often invoked for protection and the removing obstacles. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n *Each 10th Day of the Lunar months is dedicated to Guru Padmasambhava. This is because, although he is never separate from those who have faith in him, he promised that on this particular day he would definitely appear to us, \u201cin person\u201d as it were.<\/p>\n Tsok offering<\/b><\/p>\n Please bring fruits, nuts, cookies, cake, juice, etc. to offer.
