Event type: Webcast Event (for member-supporters)
Brief description: The teachings, pre-recorded by Thrangu Media at Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal, are given in English.
Event details: This course of short teachings is given for seekers of all backgrounds looking for an engaging and straightforward introduction and guide to the Vajrayana (Diamond Vehicle). The four teachings focus on the following important themes:
Death and Mortality: In the Vajrayana teachings, death is not thought of as a taboo subject to be avoided. It is a basic fact of life to be confronted and considered from the outset. In this first teaching, Choje Lama offers an overview of the Vajrayana perspective on death and dying.
The ‘Three Poisons’ and Worldly Success: The ‘Three Poisons’ of attachment, aversion, and the misunderstanding of the nature of reality, have long driven cultural perspectives on material success and status. How can we navigate society and our careers while working to transform and purify the ‘Three Poisons’?
Visualization Practice: Visualization is a key component of Vajrayana practices. The practice of visualization requires authoritative guidance from the beginning. In this teaching, Choje Lama discusses the core principles of visualization in Vajrayana practices.
Who is Buddha: Choje Lama reveals what it means to become a Buddha, a true enlightened one. Outside, in the beautiful grounds of Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, Choje Lama ends the series of teachings with a warm, incisive, and insightful discussion.
Lama Wangchuk Topden was born in Kathmandu in November, 1983. In 1987, he began his basic education at the V. V. 9th Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche’s school in Boudha, Kathmandu, and, while in the 6th grade, he became a monk and began his further Buddhist education with the late Khenpo Ngedhon, the most senior Khenpo at Thrangu Monastery. In 2008, he entered the traditional three-year retreat at Thrangu Sekhar Retreat Center under the watchful guidance of the V. V. Thrangu Rinpoche and retreat master, Drupon Rinpoche Khenpo Lhabu. He completed his retreat in 2011 and then resumed his role as the V. V. Thrangu Rinpoche’s secretary and attendant. On June 26, 2018, during the grand 33rd birthday celebration of H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra monastery in Woodstock, New York, H.H. the 17th Karmapa bestowed the title ‘Choje Lama’ on Lama Wangchuk Topden.

Brief description: The teachings, pre-recorded by Thrangu Media at Thrangu Tashi Yangtse monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal, are given in English.
Event details: This course of short teachings is given for seekers of all backgrounds looking for an engaging and straightforward introduction and guide to the Vajrayana (Diamond Vehicle). The four teachings focus on the following important themes:
Death and Mortality: In the Vajrayana teachings, death is not thought of as a taboo subject to be avoided. It is a basic fact of life to be confronted and considered from the outset. In this first teaching, Choje Lama offers an overview of the Vajrayana perspective on death and dying.
The ‘Three Poisons’ and Worldly Success: The ‘Three Poisons’ of attachment, aversion, and the misunderstanding of the nature of reality, have long driven cultural perspectives on material success and status. How can we navigate society and our careers while working to transform and purify the ‘Three Poisons’?
Visualization Practice: Visualization is a key component of Vajrayana practices. The practice of visualization requires authoritative guidance from the beginning. In this teaching, Choje Lama discusses the core principles of visualization in Vajrayana practices.
Who is Buddha: Choje Lama reveals what it means to become a Buddha, a true enlightened one. Outside, in the beautiful grounds of Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, Choje Lama ends the series of teachings with a warm, incisive, and insightful discussion.

Brief description: The teaching, recorded at Menri monastery, Dolanji, Himachal Pradesh, India, is given in English.
Event details: The Bon tradition has its origins in an ancient spiritual tradition of Tibet, which pre-dates the introduction of the classical Buddhist teachings from India, and other regions, beginning from the 8th century. Whilst retaining its individual ancient history and meditative practices, the Bon tradition teachings today share many philosophical perspectives and meditative practices with those of classical Tibetan Buddhism. In this teaching, H.E. Menri Ponlop Trinley Nyima Rinpoche gives a wide-ranging introduction to the ancient Bon tradition and its teachings, including a brief introduction to the ‘Nine Successive Stages of Bon’ (Thegpa Rimgui Bon), a primary text of the Bon tradition.
His Eminence Menri Ponlop Trinley Nyima Rinpoche is the head teacher (ponlop) at Menri monastery in Dolanji, India. He is a renowned scholar and meditation master who teaches internationally. He was born in the remote, village of Tsarka in Dolpo, Nepal into the esteemed Yangton family. In 1979, he was brought to Menri Monastery to begin his formal studies. He received his geshe degree from the Bon Dialectics School of Menri Monastery in 1989 and began teaching soon thereafter. In 1992, he was appointed as the lopon, or head teacher (also known as ponlop), of the school by H.H. the 33rd Menri Trizin Lungtok Tenpai Nyima Rinpoche and H.E. Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche.

Brief description: This special teaching will be given in sixteen sessions over four weeks. The first four sessions of the teaching will be available to view from Thursday to Sunday, November 24th to 27th, with consequent sessions on each following Thursday to Sunday until December 18th, 2022. The teaching, recorded at Pullahari monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal, is given in Tibetan, with English and Chinese translation.
Event details: Venerable Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal 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’.
Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal is greatly admired for his skill in making even the most complex and subtle Dharma subjects inspiring and accessible. He is the Principal of Rigpe Dorje Monastic Institute for Higher Buddhist Studies at Kagyu Thekchen Ling Monastery, Lava, India, and of the Rigpe Dorje Institute for Buddhist Studies at Pullahari Monastery, Nepal. Studying under the guidance of the Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche and the Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, in 1997, upon completion of a three-year Mahamudra retreat, he was bestowed the position of Drupon Khenpo by the Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Rinpoche, who recognised in him a rare accomplishment and skill in both study and practice.

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.]

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.
