Rinpoche has spoken of drupcho practice as a “wish-fulfilling jewel” for bringing about accomplishments on the path, and a true labor of love.

An important part of these practices is the feast offering we make every day. This practice of "great giving without holding back" reverses our habitual self-centered psychology and can thus enable practitioners to overcome even our most tenacious obstacles.

To cover the costs of hosting practice at Phuntsok Choling and for the tsok offerings, we suggest a $25/day contribution. Contributions may be made

How to participate in the practice from home:

The best way to participate in this program is to do every session. If that isn’t possible, one can do any number of full days of practice. However, since every day is a complete practice, do not plan on joining for assorted sessions here and there. We suggest you open the stream and be ready to begin 5-10 minutes prior to the start of each session.

​At minimum, Rinpoche recommends making a Tsok plate with a variety of offerings including fruits, cheeses, some meat, beverage. You should have a shrine with bowl offerings. If possible, it is good to have mendrup and rakta on your shrine. Also remember to have a plate ready to do remainders, and you should accumulate that through the course of the week. You can then offer it outside (if it is feasible  in your area) after the conclusion of the Drupcho.
