Brief description: The ‘Festival of Turning the Wheel of Dharma’ (Chokhor Duchen), the anniversary of Shakyamuni Buddha’s first teaching, is one of the four major events celebrated by Buddhists around the world. For Tibetans, it occurs on the fourth day of the sixth Tibetan lunar month, which this year falls on July 18th, 2026.

In Tibetan Buddhism, the Incense Offering Ritual is a significant practice for purification, merit-making, and expressing reverence. Incense, often a blend of aromatic substances like juniper, sandalwood, and other herbs, is burned to create a fragrant smoke which symbolizes purification and the removal of obstacles. The smoke itself is considered a form of offering, and the practice is believed to purify the environment, create positive energy, and accumulate merit. The practice is often performed during special occasions, festivals, and ceremonies.

Event details: In Tibetan Buddhism, the Incense Offering Ritual (Sang-sol) is a significant practice for purification, merit-making, and expressing reverence. Incense, often a blend of aromatic substances like juniper, sandalwood, and other herbs, is burned to create a fragrant smoke which symbolizes purification and the removal of obstacles. The smoke itself is considered a form of offering, and the practice is believed to purify the environment, create positive energy, and accumulate merit. The practice is often performed during special occasions, festivals, and ceremonies.

Brief description: The ‘Festival of Turning the Wheel of Dharma’ (Chokhor Duchen), the anniversary of Shakyamuni Buddha’s first teaching, is one of the four major events celebrated by Buddhists around the world. For Tibetans, it occurs on the fourth day of the sixth Tibetan lunar month, which this year falls on July 18th, 2026. It is said that for seven weeks following his enlightenment, the Buddha did not teach. Finally, encouraged by Indra and Brahma, he turned the ‘Wheel of Dharma’ for the first time, at Sarnath, by teaching the ‘Four Noble Truths’. The merit of any good deeds performed during Chokhor Duchen is considered to be multiplied many times. You are cordially invited to participate.
Event details: It is said that the Buddha himself selected the Sixteen Arhats from amongst his disciples and requested them to protect the Dharma. At the time of the Buddha’s Parinirvana, they vowed to remain in the world and maintain the Dharma until the time of the future Buddha Maitreya. This puja, ‘The Wish-fulfilling Gem Enhancing the Buddha’s Teachings’, a method for making offerings and prayers to Shakyamuni Buddha and the Sixteen Arhats, is said to bring special blessings for long life and to quickly generate merit.

It is said that for seven weeks following his enlightenment, the Buddha did not teach. Finally, encouraged by Indra and Brahma, he turned the ‘Wheel of Dharma’ for the first time, at Sarnath, by teaching the ‘Four Noble Truths’. The merit of any good deeds performed during Chokhor Duchen is considered to be multiplied many times. You are cordially invited to participate.
Event details: It is said that the Buddha himself selected the Sixteen Arhats from amongst his disciples and requested them to protect the Dharma. At the time of the Buddha’s Parinirvana, they vowed to remain in the world and maintain the Dharma until the time of the future Buddha Maitreya. This puja, ‘The Wish-fulfilling Gem Enhancing the Buddha’s Teachings’, a method for making offerings and prayers to Shakyamuni Buddha and the Sixteen Arhats, is said to bring special blessings for long life and to quickly generate merit.

Brief description: The teaching, recorded at Sravasti Abbey, Newport, Washington, USA, is given in Tibetan with English translation. All ten sessions of the teaching will be available to view from July 18th, 2026. Part 1 of this teaching series is currently available to view on the Gompa site.
Event details: Atisha's most celebrated text, ‘Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment,’ sets forth the entire Buddhist path within the framework of three levels of motivation on the part of the practitioner. Atisha's text thus became the source of the lamrim tradition, or graduated stages of the path to enlightenment, an approach to spiritual practice incorporated within all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
Geshe Gendun Samdup trained under the direct personal care and guidance of the previous Kyabje Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche and attained the prestigious Geshe Lharampa degree from Ganden Jangtse Monastery in 1994. He taught for several years at the Land of Compassion Buddha Center in California in the 1990s and is well known for his ability to give inspiring teachings on classical Buddhist insights relevant to modern life.

Event details: ‘Chod’ (meaning ‘cutting away’ or ‘cutting through’) is a set of unique tantric practices based on the Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) teachings. These practices seek to overcome both a self-cherishing attitude and the apprehension of an independent, inherently existing self; these two kinds of obscurations lie at the root of all our delusions and suffering. The texts of Chod are sung in melodious verses, accompanied by the rhythmic playing of large hand-drums and bells.

Brief description: Saka Dawa commemorates the holiest and most sacred days in Tibetan Buddhism. Falling in the fourth month of the Tibetan calendar, the special activities during Saka Dawa culminate on the full moon of the 15th lunar day, which this year falls on May 31st, 2026. This time is associated with three major events in the life of Buddha Shakyamuni — his birth, enlightenment, and mahaparinirvana. The merit of any good deeds performed during the special month of Saka Dawa is considered to be multiplied many times.
Event details: This profound Tara practice is held annually at Bokar Ngedon Chokhor Ling Monastery over seven consecutive days during the sacred month of Saka Dawa. Presided over by Kyabje Bokar Khenchen Lodoe Thonyor Rinpoche, the practice involves invoking and meditating on Tara, with recitation of Tara prayers and extensive offerings, culminating in a special Tara mandala ritual known as ‘Tashi Charbab’ on the last day. The practices related to Tara, the female embodiment of the enlightened activity of all the Buddhas, are especially renowned for being highly efficacious in pacifying and bringing protection from all the myriad causes of danger and suffering for ourselves and others and for bringing the fulfilment of all positive good wishes.
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 Bokar Ngedon Chokhor Ling monastery, Mirik, Darjeeling, West Bengal, India.

Event details: The ‘Grand Guhyasamaja (Sangdue) Drupchod’ is an extensive group practice which includes the preparation of the sand mandala, the inner and outer generation of the deity, and an empowerment. This profound Vajrayana practice, centred on the Anuttarayogatantra meditational deity (yidam) Guhyasamaja, is a complex ritual involving visualization, mantra recitation, and symbolic offerings, with the aim of transforming the practitioner’s body, speech, and mind into those of a buddha and radiating these enlightened and protective qualities throughout the environment. This Drupchod is said to carry a powerful blessing that can purify many aeons of negative karma, remove all obstacles, and endow profound confidence, wisdom, and merit.
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 Dzongkar Choede monastery, Hunsur, Mysore, India.

Brief description: The teaching, recorded at Sravasti Abbey, Newport, Washington, USA, is given in Tibetan with English translation. All seven sessions of the teaching will be available to view from May 31st, 2026. Venerable Geshe Gendun Samdup will continue this teaching at Sravasti Abbey from July 3rd to 9th, 2026, with the webcast dates to be announced as the sessions become available to view.
Event details: Atisha's most celebrated text, ‘Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment,’ sets forth the entire Buddhist path within the framework of three levels of motivation on the part of the practitioner. Atisha's text thus became the source of the lamrim tradition, or graduated stages of the path to enlightenment, an approach to spiritual practice incorporated within all schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
Geshe Gendun Samdup trained under the direct personal care and guidance of the previous Kyabje Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche and attained the prestigious Geshe Lharampa degree from Ganden Jangtse Monastery in 1994. He taught for several years at the Land of Compassion Buddha Center in California in the 1990s and is well known for his ability to give inspiring teachings on classical Buddhist insights relevant to modern life.
Gompa member-supporters are cordially invited to register for this special teaching event. At the time you register, there will also be the opportunity to make a voluntary offering in support of Sravasti Abbey, Newport, Washington, USA.

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.
