Event ID: 4357
Event type: Webcast Event (for member-supporters)
Brief description: The teaching, to be recorded at Kagyu College, Dehradun, India, and organised by Marpa Lobdra, Germany, will be given in Tibetan with English translation, and will be available to view by the end of each day (India time).
Event details: ‘The King of Aspiration Prayer for Noble Conduct’ (Arya Samantabhadracarya Pranidhana Raja) is one of the most profound and widely revered aspiration prayers in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. This prayer, spoken by Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, encapsulates the complete path of the bodhisattva—from generating pure intention and engaging in virtuous conduct to dedicating all merit for the benefit of all sentient beings.
During this teaching, participants will receive a detailed introduction to the meaning and purpose of the prayer, together with guidance on how to apply its verses in daily practice. This is a valuable opportunity for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of bodhisattva conduct, and the power of aspiration and dedication.
Khenpo Konchok Choskyab was born in 1977 in Umla, Ladakh, and took novice vows at Phyang Monastery at the age of eleven. He was among the first monks to study Buddhist philosophy at the newly founded Drikung Kagyu Institute in Dehradun in 1987, and later continued his studies at the Sakya Dzongsar Institute. He went on to teach monks and nuns at the Drikung Kagyu Institute and Samtenling nunnery, and later pursued advanced studies in Buddhist logic, Prajnaparamita, and Madhyamaka at Drepung Loseling Monastery in South India. In 2009, he received the title of Khenpo from His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang. He is a former Director of the Drikung Kagyu Institute and Kagyu College, and currently serves as one of the responsible Khenpos at Kagyu College.
