This the registration page for the online Guru Rinpoche Feast occurring on June 19th, at 5:30pm Pacific. It is open to all Nalandabodhi Members.
Guru Rinpoche Feast Guidelines
* In order to attend feast, each student must commit to attending the entire session from beginning to end (plan for three hours) and to not “multitasking” during the session (just as one would so commit in the context of an in-person feast).
* Since it has not yet been distributed to all qualified students in print form, the liturgy for the feast, for the time being, will be screen-shared. Thus there is no need to worry if you do not have a printed copy. An explanation of feast practice along with meditation and visualization instructions specific to the feast will be offered.

* If you have a copy, please bring Songs of Realization.
* Before the feast begins, please make yourself a plate of feast food (meat, sweets, chips, and the like — no veggies please) and a beverage of amrita (beer or wine recommended; those needing to refrain from consuming alcohol for health reasons may of course do so). You may also, if you wish, place a feast plate and beverage upon your shrine (in addition to this, the chopons of the feast will make the formal offerings at the appropriate time during the feast). When preparing these plates, abundance is ideal/encouraged. The nicer and more abundant of the two plates should be the one that is offered to the shrine. Please refrain from enjoying food and amrita until the indicated time at the feast.
* Expectations for attire and conduct are the same as an in-person feast.
* All participants should turn their Zoom video feeds (cameras) on; this is a form of full participation, just as one would be visually seen at an in-person feast gathering.
* The chat service of Zoom will be available for brief periods before and after the liturgical session but not during the session.
