Brief description: The webcast will be made available to view by the end of the day (India time) on April 14th, 2024.
Event details: The ‘Grand Medicine Ritual’ (Men-drup Woeser Khil-wa) is traditionally only held once in the lifetime of each Menri Trizin (the spiritual head of the Bon). The Mendrup ritual of Yungdrung Bon is a Vajrayana sadhana (meditative means of attainment) and a consecration ritual in which various special substances are empowered. The ritual process itself and the medicine produced (Men) are said to combine highly effectively to bring increased healing, rejuvenation, and longevity, as well as great spiritual enhancement. The Bonpo Mendrup ritual when performed on a large scale is one of the most elaborate healing rituals. It is also probably one of the rarest and most demanding of Tibetan rituals still practised and is believed to be extremely powerful – an event one should participate in at least once in a lifetime. .
Gompa member-supporters are cordially invited to register for this special event. At the time you register, there will also be the opportunity to make a voluntary offering in support of Menri monastery, Dolanji, Himachal Pradesh, India.

Brief description: These suttas (discourses) stress the practice of sati (mindfulness) for the purification of beings, and the overcoming of suffering, and for walking on the path of truth toward the realization of Nirvana. English and Chinese translation available.
[This event was originally webcast in December 2021 as Event ID 1835.]
Event details: The Satipatthana Sutta (The Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), and the subsequently created Mahasatipatthana Sutta (The Great Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), are two of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism, acting as the foundation for contemporary vipassana meditational practice. The Pali texts of the Satipatthana Sutta and the Mahasatipatthana Sutta are largely similar in content; the main difference being a section about the Four Noble Truths (Catu Ariya Sacca) in the Observation of Phenomena (Dhammanupassana), which is greatly expanded in the Mahasatipatthana Sutta.
Teaching recorded at H.H. the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, HP, India. Donations made related to this event are strictly voluntary and any donations that are made will go to the Tibetan International Digital Library, a project supported by His Holiness.

Brief description: These suttas (discourses) stress the practice of sati (mindfulness) for the purification of beings, and the overcoming of suffering, and for walking on the path of truth toward the realization of Nirvana. English and Chinese translation available.
[This event was originally webcast in December 2021 as Event ID 1835.]
Event details: The Satipatthana Sutta (The Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), and the subsequently created Mahasatipatthana Sutta (The Great Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), are two of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism, acting as the foundation for contemporary vipassana meditational practice. The Pali texts of the Satipatthana Sutta and the Mahasatipatthana Sutta are largely similar in content; the main difference being a section about the Four Noble Truths (Catu Ariya Sacca) in the Observation of Phenomena (Dhammanupassana), which is greatly expanded in the Mahasatipatthana Sutta.
Teaching recorded at H.H. the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, HP, India. Donations made related to this event are strictly voluntary and any donations that are made will go to the Tibetan International Digital Library, a project supported by His Holiness.

Brief description: Karma is a Sanskrit word which means ‘action’. Karma refers to the doctrine of actions and their causal consequences. These three talks by senior teacher Karma Wangchuk Lhamo are given in Tibetan with English translation. [This event was originally webcast in July 2019 as Event ID 220.]
Event details: The concept of karma includes, in its causal aspect, both the actual actions (physical, verbal and mental) and the psychological imprints and tendencies created within the mind by such actions. After the commitment of an action a causal chain is maintained within the mental continuum which continues through successive events and rebirths. Such a karmic potential is later activated when it interacts with appropriate circumstances and conditions thus leading to the fruition of its effects. In general, if we act motivated by greed, anger, or delusion, we are planting the seed of suffering; when our acts are motivated by generosity, love, or wisdom, then we are creating the karmic conditions for openness and happiness.
Karma Wangchuk Lhamo was ordained at Thrangu Tara Abbey at the age of sixteen. In 1999 she entered solitary retreat for three years in Manang, Nepal. Between 2005 and 2014 she completed the nine year shedra studies course at Namdroling monastery in South India. Since 2014 she has been a senior teacher at Thrangu Tara Abbey.
