Brief description: The teaching, to be recorded at Kathmandu, Nepal, will be available to view by the end of the day on July 28th (Nepal time).
Event details: The first formal discourse which the Buddha Shakyamuni gave following his attainment of buddhahood at Bodh Gaya was on the Four Noble Truths. The four noble truths are: the truth of suffering (the unsatisfactory nature of cyclic existence), the truth of its origins (the causes of suffering), the truth of cessation (that there is a state free from suffering), and the truth of the path leading to such cessation. The investigation and understanding of these four truths are regarded as an indispensable basis for a successful practice of the Buddhist path.
The Venerable Khenchen Konchok Rangdol Rinpoche is a prominent figure in the Drikung Kagyu lineage, currently serving as the 3rd Khenchen (abbot) of the lineage—the first ever from Ladakh, India, to hold this esteemed position. He is the former President of Tserkarmo Monastery and former Principal of Kagyu College at Drikung Kagyu Jangchubling Monastery, Dehradun, the main seat of His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang. Currently, he serves as the Chairman of the Drikung Kagyu Institute and is also the President of the Doon Buddhist Committee. He is widely recognized for his profound scholarship, teaching skills, and dedication to the Drikung Kagyu tradition, and regularly offers teachings in India and internationally, which are deeply appreciated for their clarity, openness, and accessibility.

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 28th, 2025. 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. The webcast will be available to view by the end of the day (India time) on July 28th, 2025.
Event details: The ‘Consecration Ritual’ (Rabne) is a powerful practice for cleansing negativities, sicknesses, and obstacles, which includes the re-consecration of all the statues, sacred texts, and stupas at the monastery and thereby re-empowering all these sacred objects to radiate enlightened and protective qualities throughout the environment for the benefit of all sentient beings.

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 28th, 2025. 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. The webcast will be available to view by the end of the day (India time) on July 28th, 2025.
Event details: Ushnishavijaya is a meditational deity specifically related to longevity. The practices related to Ushnishavijaya carry a powerful blessing, which can purify the negative deeds committed in past lives and increase merit and lifespan in the present life.
‘Guru Puja’ (Lama Choepa), literally means ‘making offerings to the spiritual guide’. This beautifully poetic and profound guru puja practice is a powerful method for strengthening the guru disciple relationship and for creating merit on this special day.
These special practices are dedicated to the long life of H.H. the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang, and the other great masters of all traditions, to the flourishing of the Dharma and world peace, and to the well-being of all sentient beings.

Brief description: The teaching, to be recorded at Kathmandu, Nepal, will be available to view by the end of the day on July 28th (Nepal time).
Event details: The first formal discourse which the Buddha Shakyamuni gave following his attainment of buddhahood at Bodh Gaya was on the Four Noble Truths. The four noble truths are: the truth of suffering (the unsatisfactory nature of cyclic existence), the truth of its origins (the causes of suffering), the truth of cessation (that there is a state free from suffering), and the truth of the path leading to such cessation. The investigation and understanding of these four truths are regarded as an indispensable basis for a successful practice of the Buddhist path.

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.
