Brief description: All nine sessions of the teachings, recorded between March 6th and 8th at Songtsen Library, Dehradun, India, will be available to view by the end of the day (India time) on March 20th, 2026. The teachings are given in Tibetan and English.
Event details: On the first day, Venerable Khenchen Konchok Rangdol Rinpoche teaches on the Buddhist view of how to overcome difficulties and cultivate a happy life. Rinpoche will outline the perspectives and practices which help us to overcome the dissatisfactions, sufferings and difficulties that we encounter in daily life and how we can find a deeper sense of meaning in our lives.
On the second and third days, Venerable Khenchen Konchok Rangdol Rinpoche teaches on the Shravasti Meditation Curriculum developed by H.H. the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang, which is tailored for practitioners of all levels. Grounded in the Anapanasati Sutta, this approach integrates Vajrayana and Mahamudra perspectives to interpret this sutta’s sixteen stages of mindfulness of breath. The Buddha’s teachings in the ‘Discourse on Mindfulness of Breathing’ (the Anapanasati Sutta) include a set of sixteen step-by-step instructions that together map a comprehensive, joyful and liberating path. Anapana is the Pali word for breathing and sati is the word for mindfulness, and this practice is widely considered to be one of the most important meditation subjects taught in the early discourses of the Buddha.
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 teaching, to be recorded at Pullahari monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal, will be given in Tibetan with English and Chinese translations.
Event details: Venerable Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal will teach on the Pith Instructions on the Progressive Stages of Meditation focusing on Mahamudra, the Great Seal of the Path of Liberation, based on Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye’s Treasury of Knowledge. From among the three traditions of Sutra, Mantra, and Essence, the teachings will focus on Sutra Mahamudra, the intended meaning of the rGyud bLa Ma, the Uttaratantrashastra, or ‘The Sublime Continuum of the Mahayana’, as emphasized by Gampopa, the Lord of Dharma.
The practice of Mahamudra, in this context, comprises a sequence of systematic advanced meditations based on both calm abiding and penetrative insight, which focus on the meditator’s own mind, to achieve realisation of emptiness and pure appearance – the ultimate nature of mind and phenomena.
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 recognized in him a rare accomplishment and skill in both study and practice.

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.
