Part 2 of the teaching is due to be available in late January, 2025.
Event details: Venerable Thubten Chodron will give a comprehensive teaching on ‘The Heart Sutra’, one of the most cited and widely known Buddhist texts. The central topic of ‘The Heart Sutra’ is the Buddhist understanding of the ultimate nature of mind and phenomena. The sutra, written in the form of a dialogue between the monk Shariputra (one of the two principal disciples of the Buddha Shakyamuni) and the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, explains how a bodhisattva should meditate in order to realize the ultimate nature of reality, often referred to as ‘emptiness’.
Venerable Thubten Chodron is an American Buddhist nun and the founder and abbess of Sravasti Abbey, a Buddhist monastery in Newport, Washington, USA. Ordained since 1977, she is a student of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tsenzhap Serkong Rinpoche, and several other Tibetan lamas. She assisted His Holiness the Dalai Lama with the writing and publication of The Library of Wisdom and Compassion, a multi-volume series on the Buddhist Path. Visit thubtenchodron.org for a media library of her teachings, and sravastiabbey.org to learn more about the Abbey.
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. From the closing registration date of December 23rd, 2024, onwards, the teaching will continue to be available to Gompa member-supporters from the Gompa Library.

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.
