My very dear one,
I received your letter and checked, and if you can, do tsog offerings 4,000 times. I don’t know how much you know about tsog, but it is very powerful. Those who have received Highest Yoga Tantra Yoga initiation can do tsog offerings,  and those who haven’t received Highest Yoga Tantra initiation can also do it.

Tsog offering is a very, very, extremely powerful way of purifying past negative karma and broken samaya vows and maybe restoring [the vows] and hooking the realizations. If you have received a Highest Yoga Tantra initiation but you haven’t done the retreat, then you can’t do the self-initiation.

Tsog offering is a most powerful way to purify not only degenerate vows—when the pratimoksha, bodhisattva and tantric vows have been broken. It is most powerful to purify that. Self-initiation is most powerful but if you haven’t done the retreat, then you are not able to do that, so the common thing is tsog offering. It is very powerful for purification and to hook the realizations quickly.

You can do Lama Chöpa tsog, like what we normally do, so on the basis of Lama Chöpa do 4,000 tsog offerings. If you can do it alone that is best. If not, then it can be done in a group, you can discuss with Geshe-la and do it in a group. Perhaps you can call those people who are doing the practice, then buy the tsog and count the number of participants that day. If you do it that way, then perhaps you have to make some money offering to the participants. Tsog practice is mainly a Highest Yoga Tantra practice.

When you have finished, let me know. Being able to feel regret is a very good quality. By reading you are able to recognize and remember, and you are inspired to purify and do all those are good things. So feel happy, it’s an accomplishment.

Thank you very much.

With much love and prayers...
