Event details: The Sojong (Healing and Purification) is a bimonthly practice of confession observed by members of the monastic community. This is a highly effective method for purifying oneself of negative karma and reinforcing and stabilizing one’s orientation towards virtue.
‘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. ‘Tsok’ or ‘Ceremonial Feast Offering’ is an important Vajrayana practice of offering and purification through which merit and the realisation of the ultimate nature of mind are generated and shared.

Brief description: All four sessions of the teaching will be available to view on Friday, April 7th, 2023. The teachings are given in English and are recorded by Sravasti Abbey, Newport, Washington, USA.
Event details: The great master Atisha (982-1054) wrote the Jewel Garland while in Tibet in response to questions from his student Dromtonpa. It is a short text belonging to the mind training, or lojong, tradition. In a beautiful poetic style, Atisha provides instructions on how bodhisattvas practice the path, and concludes his work by affirming that practicing according to this text will help us to reach enlightenment. His advice is just as powerful and helpful today in our Western society as it was in Tibet. Each verse shines by itself, but taken together they become a precious garland of jewels, a complete instruction on how to live a meaningful life with altruism and compassion. Behind every sentence of every verse is a wealth of spiritual insights, “food for thought” for years!
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 is currently assisting 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.

Brief description: Pre-recorded by the Office of H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, the first three sessions of the teaching will be available to view on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 31st, April 1st, and 2nd, with the further sessions on each Friday, Saturday and Sunday until April 23rd, 2023. The teachings are given in Tibetan with simultaneous translations in English and Chinese.
Event details: H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa will continue his discourse on the two praises of the Eighth Karmapa Mikyo Dorje: the praise ‘Good Deeds’ and the praise ‘He Searched Thoroughly’. ‘Good Deeds’ recounts his life and teaching, especially as these relate to thirty-three of his good deeds. At that time, he was one of the greatest lamas of the Dakpo Kagyu, and this is one of the longer of his autobiographical works written in verse. There is a commentary on this text by Sangye Paldrup. The praise ’He Searched Thoroughly’ recounts nine of the key points in his life. This text is included in the prayer book compiled by Situ Panchen Chokyi Jungne, and there is a complete explanation of the text in Pawo Tsuglak Trengwa’s ‘Dharma History: A Feast for the Learned’.

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.
