Event details: The King of Aspiration Prayers (also known as Samantabhadra’s Aspiration Prayer or The Aspiration of Excellent Conduct) is one of the most revered and widely recited prayers in Tibetan Buddhism. It forms the final chapter of the Avatamsaka Sutra (Flower Ornament Sutra) and expresses the vast aspirations of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra (Tib. Kuntu Zangpo), whose name means ‘Universal Goodness.’ In its 62 verses, the prayer includes the vow to follow the path of all Buddhas, the making of offerings throughout limitless realms, the purification of negative karma, and the dedication of merit for the welfare of all beings. Recited daily in monasteries and nunneries, it is regarded as especially powerful for generating merit and cultivating the Bodhisattva ideal of compassion for all sentient beings.

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.

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.
