Brief description: The six sessions of teachings, given during the 32nd Annual Namo Buddha Seminar in April 2025 and recorded by Thrangu Media at Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, Namo Buddha, Nepal, are given in English.
Event details: ‘The Torch of True Meaning’ by the great master and scholar Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye gives clear and concise instruction on the preliminary and main practices of Mahamudra meditation. As stated in the foreword by H.H. the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje:
Anyone who wishes to practice the ngondro of the Kagyu lineage and in particular the Karma Kagyu lineage should first read this text carefully and internalize its meaning. They will then have a stable ground for the practice of mahamudra. This is not just the correct way to practice, but also the most beneficial.
Venerable Choje Lama Wangchuk Rinpoche was born in Kathmandu in November 1983. He began his education at Thrangu Rinpoche’s school in Boudha and became a monk during his early studies, training under the late Khenpo Ngedhon at Thrangu Monastery. From 2008 to 2011 he completed the traditional three-year retreat at Thrangu Sekhar Retreat Center under the guidance of V. V. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche and Drupon Khenpo Lhabu. He then served as Thrangu Rinpoche’s secretary and attendant. In 2018, on the 33rd birthday of H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, he was formally bestowed the title of Choje Lama. Since then, he has overseen the monasteries, dharma institutes, schools, and clinics established by V. V. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche.

Event details: The ‘Gonpo Tordok’ ritual is performed annually at the Drigung Kagyu Rinchen Palri Monastery. This ten-day ritual, held this year from December 29th to January 7th, aims to dispel both inner and outer obstacles for the benefit of all sentient beings.

Brief description: Lhabab Duchen is one of the holiest and most sacred days in Tibetan Buddhism. Observed on the 22nd day of the ninth Tibetan lunar month (which this year falls on November 11th), Lhabab Duchen commemorates the Buddha’s return to the human realm after giving teachings to his mother for three months in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three. The merit of all positive actions performed at this time is said to be greatly multiplied.
Event details: Every year Gaden Shartse monastery performs the prelude, principal section, and the conclusion of the Rabne Gelek Charbeb consecration ritual over three days. 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, thereby re-empowering all these sacred objects to radiate enlightened and protective qualities throughout the environment for the benefit of all sentient beings. A fire offering puja is also performed on the last day of the consecration ritual. The consecration ritual will be carried out in the presence of all the senior lamas and the entire monk assembly.

Brief description: The six sessions of teachings, given during the 32nd Annual Namo Buddha Seminar in April 2025 and recorded by Thrangu Media at Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, Namo Buddha, Nepal, are given in English.
Event details: ‘The Torch of True Meaning’ by the great master and scholar Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye gives clear and concise instruction on the preliminary and main practices of Mahamudra meditation. As stated in the foreword by H.H. the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje:
Anyone who wishes to practice the ngondro of the Kagyu lineage and in particular the Karma Kagyu lineage should first read this text carefully and internalize its meaning. They will then have a stable ground for the practice of mahamudra. This is not just the correct way to practice, but also the most beneficial.
Venerable Choje Lama Wangchuk Rinpoche was born in Kathmandu in November 1983. He began his education at Thrangu Rinpoche’s school in Boudha and became a monk during his early studies, training under the late Khenpo Ngedhon at Thrangu Monastery. From 2008 to 2011 he completed the traditional three-year retreat at Thrangu Sekhar Retreat Center under the guidance of V. V. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche and Drupon Khenpo Lhabu. He then served as Thrangu Rinpoche’s secretary and attendant. In 2018, on the 33rd birthday of H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, he was formally bestowed the title of Choje Lama. Since then, he has overseen the monasteries, dharma institutes, schools, and clinics established by V. V. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche.
