This day at the Garden of 1000 Buddhas was filled with more togetherness than any I can remember. We sang, danced, told jokes, and spent time with each other. Tsok is more than a simple celebration, Yeshé Tsogyal said that to practice tsok just once closes the door to lower rebirths. It is also said that disease, famine and warfare will be pacified, and all the practitioners’ wishes will be fulfilled without the slightest obstacle.
