Brief description: The teaching, recorded at H.H. the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, HP, India, is given in Tibetan, with English and Chinese translation.
Event details: H.H. the Dalai Lama will teach on Je Tsongkhapa’s ‘The Three Principal Aspects of the Path’ (Lamtso Namsum). The three principal aspects of the path are: renunciation, bodhicitta, and the correct view of emptiness. The tradition of categorising all of the aspects of the path within these three principal topics of meditative practice was promulgated by the great Tibetan master Je Tsongkhapa. This succinct approach, and also the term ‘the three principal aspects of the path’, developed from a concise letter written in verse by Tsongkhapa to one of his disciples outlining the essential methods for training the mind. This letter was entitled ‘Lamgyi tsowo nampa sum’, ‘The Three Principal Aspects of the Path’. The practice of these three essential aspects embraces the entire process of mental training and advancement towards fulfilling the ultimate aim of a bodhisattva: the attainment of buddhahood for the sake of all beings.
The lamrim ‘graduated path’ is a textual tradition that organizes Shakyamuni Buddha’s teachings into a complete step-by-step path to enlightenment. ‘The Concise Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment’ (Lamrim Dhuedhon) also known as ‘Song of Spiritual Experience’ (Lamrim Nyam-gur) is counted amongst the eighteen great lamrim texts studied by scholars and practitioners of the Geluk tradition. Composed by Je Tsongkhapa , the text presents the complete path to perfect enlightenment in forty-five verses.

Brief description: The teaching, recorded at Venerable Khenpo Konchok Rangdol’s residence in Dehradun, India, is given in English.
Event details: Venerable Khenpo Konchok Rangdol will teach on one of the most influential texts of the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism known as ‘The Single Intention’ (Gong-Chik) by Lord Jigten Sumgon. Early in the history of the Kagyu school, the teachings of Jigten Sumgon were condensed into 150 core formulations called vajra statements. These pithy, revelatory statements comprise the Single Intention (Gong-chik), which express the essence of the Buddha’s teachings. The text presents the teachings on mahamudra as pervading: disciplined conduct; meditative concentration; discriminative awareness; ground, path, and result; view, practice, and conduct; and the ‘three vows’ of pratimoksha, of the bodhisattvas, and of mantra. Jigten Sumgon’s teachings demonstrate how the fundamental values and insights taught by the Buddha are woven into our reality and therefore accessible to all.

Brief description: The teaching, recorded at H.H. the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, HP, India, is given in Tibetan, with English and Chinese translation.
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. 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.
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: Practices associated with Tara are very dearly held among all the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Tara is a female meditational deity who is regarded as the embodiment of the enlightened activity of all the buddhas.
Event details: Tara literally means ‘saviouress’ or ‘she who liberates’ and she is known as ‘she who ferries beings across the ocean of samsara.’ Peaceful and wrathful, beautiful and powerful, Tara is regarded as a sublime embodiment of ultimate wisdom and compassion. Rinpoche’s teaching gives guidance and commentary on ‘The Seven Supplications to Tara for Protection’ a profound prayer composed by the founder of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, Lord Jigten Sumgon. Known for removing obstacles, this devotional prayer to Tara encompasses the main points of the Buddhist path. It exhorts Tara to help those with seven specific mental obscurations that are obstructions on the path to enlightenment. The teaching, recorded by Kagyu College, Dehradun, India, is given in Tibetan with English translation.

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.
