Sharing the benefits of a Christmas feast

Just one year ago, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave a special food offering teaching on Christmas Day at Langri Tangpa Centre in Brisbane, Australia. Such timing: when many people are using the excuse of celebrating the birth of Christ to consume a huge — and delicious — lunch, only to spend the afternoon sleeping it off, Lama Zopa has come up with a way of using the feast for the benefits of others. The entire ‘Yoga of Offering Food’ can be found at www.LamaYeshe.com or by contacting the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive at PO Box 356, Weston, MA 02493, USA or info@LamaYeshe.com. The actual practice will be available from the Archive as a free booklet early 2002.
