Among the most profound of Tibetan Buddhist ritual ceremonies is the Lama Chopa Tsok Feast Offering. It is a ceremony of prayer, chanting, music, meditation and a ritual feast. It contains all of the points of the Lamrim meditation on guru devotion, presented in a way that directly appeals to our senses and emotions.

The more devotion we have to our teacher, the more there is the wish to make offerings to him, and the Lama Chopa ceremony creates the opportunity for making many kinds of offering – food, drink, lights, incense, music, and the best form of offering to the Guru, which is the offering of practice itself; in this case the practice of doing the chanting, visualizations and prayers of the first part of the ceremony and the meditation on the Lamrim which forms the second part of the ritual. And since the guru is the highest object of offering, the merit created is enormous.
