  • Kyabje Pabongka Dechen Nyingpo
    KYABJE PABONGKHA DECHEN NYINGPO Pabongkha Rinpoche Dechen Nyingpo Jampa Tenzin Trinlay Gyatso was one of the greatest masters of the 20th century and one of the most influential teachers in Tibet. The list of his oral discourses is vast in depth and breadth and his collected works occupy 15 large volumes and cover every aspect of Buddhism. Some of his works have been translated into English and Chinese and became influential texts studied by Buddhists all over the world today. Rinpoche was born north of Lhasa in 1878. In the night when he was born, a light shone in the room and people outside the house had a vision of a protector on the roof. As a child he exhibited unusual qualities and thus was taken before Sharpa Rinpoche Chuje Lobsang Dargye, one of the leading religious figures of the day. He was recognized as an emanation of the great scholar Jangya Rolpai Dorje (1717-1786), the lama of the Chinese emperor Chien Lung, although initially it was thought that he was the reincarnation of a learned Geshe from Sera-Mey Monastery. It is commonly believed that Rinpoche was also the reincarnation of Tsako Ngawang Drakpa, one of the main disciples of Tsong Khapa and founder of Dhe-Tsang Monastery. Rinpoche entered Gyalrong House of Sera-Mey Monastery at the age of 7, did the usual studies of a monk, earned his Geshe degree and spent 2 years learning at the Gyuto Tantric College. Rinpoche's root guru was Dagpo Rinpoche Jampal Lhundrub Gyatso of Lhoka. When Pabongkha Rinpoche had finished his studies he visited Dagpo Rinpoche in his cave and was sent time into a Lam Rim retreat nearby.

    Kopan November Course 2014 Teachings by Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche Hosted by Kopan Monastery Kathmandu, Nepal 29 November-10 December 2014 These transcripts were typed by Joan Nicell simultaneously with the teachings. They were lightly edited, in most cases without listening to the audio recordings, by various participants at the retreat and again by Joan Nicell for FPMT Education Services. They are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the recordings of Rinpoche’s teachings. All errors are the fault of the transcriber. A checked word-for-word transcript will be available in the future. © FPMT Inc., 2014 Kopan November Course 2014 The Essence of the Kopan Course is Good Heart [29 November 2014, 2.00 p.m.] KOPAN 20141129 S1 14:00 Lama Zopa Rinpoche – The Essence of the Kopan Course is Good Heart Thanks for coming to Kopan I don’t know what to say. Anyway, from the bottom of my heart I want to express really a billion, zillion thanks of appreciation to all of you, my brothers and sisters. Not just in one lifetime, I’m not talking about for just one life being brothers and sisters, I’m talking about being brothers and sisters from beginningless rebirths. We are an old family. An old family. This is not just a Himalayan mountain experience, a journey, it is not just that. It is not just like trekking in the Himalayan mountains, a Himalayan mountain experience, a journey. So many problems in the world – war, disease… In the world you can see how many countries have war, are attacking each other.

  • Pre-Recorded Talk Series on His Holiness the Great 14Th Dalai Lama's Four Commitments 4
    Pre-Recorded Talk Series on His Holiness the Great 14th Dalai Lama’s Four Commitments 4 - 11 December 2020 Year of Gratitude to His Holiness The Great 14th Dalai Lama 2020-2021 As His Holiness the Dalai Lama turned 85 this year, the Central Tibetan Administration dedicated the year 2020-21 as ‘Year of Gratitude to His Holiness the Dalai Lama’. The year of gratitude is a celebration of the 85 glorious years that His Holiness the Dalai Lama has spent and continues to devote to the wellbeing of all sentient beings. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a global beacon and ambassador of love, peace, and compassion. For the Tibetan people, His Holiness the Dalai Lama shares a special bond and significance: His Holiness is the human manifestation of Chenrezig, the bodhisattva of compassion and the patron saint of Tibet. From 1950 till 2011, for over six decades, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has led the Tibetan people politically and spiritually, and has successfully put the global spotlight on China’s occupation of Tibet through the sheer power of non-violence and compassion. Even after the complete devolution of political authority to an elected Tibetan leadership in 2011, His Holiness the Dalai Lama remains the moral compass and conscience guiding the everyday lives of the Tibetan people. Therefore, this yearlong celebration is an appreciation and collective expression of gratitude by the Tibetan people to highlight the outstanding contributions and achievements of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Despite the unforeseen challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Central Tibetan Administration rolled out a host of programs and activities worldwide to celebrate the life and the still unfolding legacy of His Holiness the Dalai Lama under the banner ‘Year of Gratitude to His Holiness the Dalai Lama’.
