Brief description: The teaching, pre-recorded by Thrangu Media at Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery, is given in English.
Event details: ‘Dependent origination’, also translated as ‘dependent arising’, can be said to be the most fundamental metaphysical view of Buddhist thought, and it is intimately linked with the Buddhist notion of causation. The principle of ‘dependent origination’ asserts that nothing exists independently of other factors, the reason being that things and events come into existence only by dependence on the aggregation of multiple causes and conditions. For many people the concept of the twelve links is a challenging subject to fully understand and even more difficult to relate to one’s personal experience and daily practice. In this teaching the Venerable Choje Lama Wangchuk Topden introduces the nature of the twelve interdependent links and gives guidance on the relationship of the concept of the twelve links of dependent origination to our daily lives.

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 Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal. From the closing registration date of September 19th, 2022, onwards, the teaching will continue to be available to Gompa member-supporters from the Gompa Library.

From the perspective of the Mahayana teachings, the development of spontaneously arising bodhicitta based on compassion for all beings, joined with pristine wisdom directly realizing the ultimate nature of mind and all phenomena, are the two fundamental realizations that bring the attainment of Buddhahood.

In this teaching, Venerable Thubten Chodron sets out the fundamental significance of the development of compassion in our progression along the path to enlightenment and discusses the challenges, the attitudes to cultivate in our daily lives, and the specific meditative practices that accord with the stages of development along the journey to enlightenment.

Ordained in1977, she is a student of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tsenzhap Serkong Rinpoche, and other Tibetan lamas.

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.

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.

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.
