Pre-Recorded Talk Series on His Holiness the Great 14Th Dalai 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’. As part of this yearlong celebration, Department of Information and International Relations (DIIR) of Central Tibetan Administration organised this talk series on the four principal commitments of His Holiness the Dalai Lama namely, Promotion of Human Values, Promotion of Religious Harmony, Preservation of Tibet’s Culture and Environment, and Revival of Ancient Indian Wisdom. These four commitments reflect His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s lifelong conviction and effort to create a more peaceful, tolerant, and rational world by instilling hope in the younger generation. The talk series, although initially planned as an in-person conference, was compelled by circumstances to be held virtually. However, due to the fact that most of the speakers reside in different time zones and the imposition of differing lockdown measures in different countries, a live virtual event was determined unfeasible. Therefore, it was decided to be held as a pre- recorded talk series. Over all, there are at least 120 speakers from 19 different countries speaking in 15 languages in the talk series. The talk series will begin with an inaugural note from President Dr Lobsang Sangay and introductory remarks on the four commitments by Yangten Tulku Rinpoche, Religious Secretary at the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It will be followed by a panel of keynote speakers in Tibetan, Hindi, and English languages. The talk series will also feature addresses by heads of the various Tibetan spiritual traditions including Sakya Gongma Trizin Rinpoche, Kyabje Gaden Tripa Rinpoche, Gyalwang Karmapa Rinpoche, Kyabje Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, Drikung Kyabgon Rinpoche, Kyabje Menri Trizin Rinpoche, and Kyabje Jonang Gyalktsab Rinpoche. Other prominent speakers include Prof Bob Thurman, Prof Thupten Jinpa, Lobsang Jinpa, Ven Mathieu Ricard, Geshe Lhakdor, Dr Deepak Chopra, Geshe Dorji Damdul, Dr Tenzin Dorjee, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Prof John Powers, Gabriel Lafitte, Sharon Salzberg, Ven Priyadarshi, Geshe Ngawang Samten, etc. DATE: 4 DEC Friday Start Panel Speakers Designation Time Opening President, Dr Lobsang Sangay 9:00 AM Remarks Central Tibetan Administration Tibetan Religious Secretary at Office of His Yangten Tulku 9:25 AM Keynote 1 Holiness the Dalai Lama DATE: 5 DEC Saturday Start Panel Speakers Designation Time Principal English Translator of His Tibetan Holiness the Dalai Lama, an adjunct 9:30 AM Dr Thupten Jinpa Keynote 2 professor at the School of Religious Onwards Studies at McGill University Geshe Wangchuk Dorji Professor, Central Institute of Higher Negi Tibetan Studies (CIHTS), Sarnath * Director, Library of Tibetan Works Geshe Lhakdor and Archives (LTWA) Vice Chancellor of Central Geshe Ngawang Samten Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies (CIHTS), Sarnath * The next talk will automatically follow DATE: 45 DEC SaturdayFRIDAY Start Panel Speakers Designation Time Principal English Translator of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, adjunct English Dr Thupten Jinpa professor at the School of 12:30 PM Keynote Religious Studies at McGill University Kalon, Department of Religion and Ven Karma Gelek Yuthok Culture, CTA, Former Kashag Secretary Director, Library of Tibetan Works Geshe Lhakdor and Archives (LTWA) Vice Chancellor of Central Geshe Ngawang Samten Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies (CIHTS), Sarnath Start Panel Speakers Designation Time Assistant Professor, Central Institute Hindi Lopon Lobsang Tsultrim of Buddhist Studies, Deemed 4:00 PM Keynote University, Ladakh Geshe Wangchuk Dorji Professor, Central Institute of Higher Negi Tibetan Studies (CIHTS), Sarnath Professor, Central Institute of Higher Prof. Pema Tenzin Tibetan Studies (CIHTS), Sarnath Choekyong Kalon, Department of Health, CTA Wangchuk DATE: 6 DEC Sunday Spiritual Heads of Tibetan Buddhism and Bon Tradition Start Speakers Designation Time Kyabgon Sakya Gongma Trizin Spiritual Head of Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism 8:30 AM Rinpoche Kyabje Gaden Tripa Spiritual Head of Geluk School of Tibetan Buddhism Rinpoche Gyalwang Karmapa Spiritual Head of Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism Rinpoche Kyabje Menri Trizin Spiritual Head of Yungdrung Bon Rinpoche Kyabje Shechen One of the Spiritual Heads of Nyingma School of Rabjam Rinpoche Tibetan Buddhism Drikung Kyabgon One of the Spiritual Heads of Kagyu School of Tibetan Rinpoche Buddhism Kyabje Jonang Spiritual head of Jonang school of Tibetan Gyaltsab Rinpoche Buddhism DATE: 6 DEC Sunday Start Panel Speakers Designation Time Secretary, Office of His Holiness the Chinese Ngawa Tsegyam 12:40 PM Dalai Lama Professor, National Chengchi Chinese Yeau Tarn Lee University, Taiwan Official Chinese Interpreter of His Dr Jamyang Rinchen Holiness the Dalai Lama, PhD scholar (Chun Yuan Huang) from Harvard University President, Sino-Tibetan Students and David Kong Scholars Association, Brisbane Professor of Political Science, City Dr Xia Ming University of New York (CUNY) Start Panel Speakers Designation Time Professor, University of Technology, Chinese Feng Chong Yi 3:10 PM Sydney Editor of Quarterly Magazine Tibetan Lu Hui Chan Sky, President, Taiwan Sarajev Institute Editor, Beijing Spring, Chinese Democracy Hu Ping Activist based in US Editor of Beijing Spring, Vice President, Chen Wejian Han and Tibetan Association, New Zealand Su Jia Hong Professor, Fooyin University, Taiwan DATE: 6 DEC Sunday Start Panel Speakers Designation Time Director, Casa del Tibet, Spanish Thubten Wangchen Barcelona, Former member of 4:00 PM Tibetan Parliament Official Spanish Interpreter of Spanish Marta Saro 6:00 PM His Holiness the Dalai Lama Tibetan Buddhist Tulku from Spain, Lama Osel Hita Rinpoche and aspiring film maker Student of Tibetan Buddhism from Patricia Compere Mexico Argentinan Psychologist, Melisa Biondi researcher on Tibetan Buddhist Philosophy and Psychology Mongolian Ven.

    Buddhism / Dalai Lama 99 Activating Bodhichitta and A Meditation on Compassion His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama Translated by Gonsar Rinpoche The awakening mind is the unsurpassable way to collect merit. To purify obstacles bodhicitta is supreme. For protection from interferences bodhicitta is supreme. It is the unique, all-encompassing method. Every kind of ordinary and supra-mundane power can be accomplished through bodhicitta. Thus, it is absolutely precious. Although compassion is cultivated in one’s own mind, the embodiment of it is the deity known as Avalokiteshvara (Tib. Chan-re- PY: 1979,2006 zig). The various aspects that are visualized in meditation practices and 5.5 X 8.5 represented in images and paintings are merely the interpretative forms of 80 pages Avalokitephvara, whereas the actual definitive form is compassion itself. ` 140 paperback ISBN: 81-86470-52-2 Awakening the Mind, Lightening the Heart His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama Edited by Donald S.Lopez,Jr. Awakening the Mind, Lightening the Heart is His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s gentle and profoundly eloquent instruction for developing the basis of the spiritual path: a compassionate motive.

  • The Tibetan National Emblem His Holiness the Dalai Lama Said
    The Tibetan National Emblem His Holiness the Dalai Lama said.. “Change is also coming to the Tibetan political system. It is unfortunate that it happens in exile, but this does not stop us learning the art of democracy. I have long looked forward to the time when we could devise a political system, suited both to our traditions and the demands of the modern world. Since we came into exile, we have tried to build up the Chithue, the elected assembly of representatives, as a key feature of our effort to develop such a system. We are now embarking on changes which will further democratise and strengthen our administration in exile. I hope that these changes will allow the people of Tibet to have a clear say in determining the future of our country. It is therefore a matter of great pride to me that last month the Tibetan exiles went to the polls for the eleventh time to elect a new assembly of representatives . Already since the special Congress held last May, the members of the Kashag, the executive head of our administration, are elected officials, no longer appointed by me. This democratisation has reached out to Tibetans all over the world . I believe that future generations of Tibetans will consider these changes among the most important achievement of our experience in exile.” House of Commons All-Party Parliamentary Group, London March 21, 1991 “There is one big change. Immediately after coming into exile, we started the process of democratisation of Tibetan society. I deliberately reduced my own power.

  • Preparing-For-Ordination.Pdf
    Preparing for Ordination: Reflections for Westerners Considering Monastic Ordination in the Western Buddhist Tradition Edited by Ven. Thubten Chodron Originally published by: Life as a Western Buddhist Nun For free distribution. Write to Sravasti Abbey, 692 Country Lane, Newport Wa 99156, USA. The decision to take monastic ordination is an important one, and to make it wisely, one needs information. In addition, one needs to reflect over a period of time on many diverse aspects of one's life, habits, aspirations, and expectations. The better prepared one is before ordaining, the easier the transition from lay to monastic life will be, and the more comfortable and joyous one will be as a monastic. This booklet, with articles by Asian and Western monastics, is designed to inform and to spark that reflection in non-Tibetans who are considering monastic ordination in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Thich Nhat Hanh's article and materials in this booklet have been edited and reprinted with his kind permission.

  • White Tara Puja and Long Life Ceremony for Venerable Abbess Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron on the Occasion of Her 70Th Birthday
    White Tara Puja and Long Life Ceremony For Venerable Abbess Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron On the Occasion of her 70th Birthday Refuge and Bodhicitta I take refuge until I have awakened in the Buddhas, the Dharma and the Sangha. By the merit I create by engaging in generosity and the other far-reaching practices, I will attain Buddhahood in order to benefit all sentient beings. (x3) May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes. May all sentient beings be free of suffering and its causes. May all sentient beings not be separated from sorrowless bliss. May all sentient beings abide in equanimity, free of bias, attachment, and anger. Invitation to Tara From the supreme abode of Potala, You are born of a syllable TAM. Adorned with Amitabha upon your crown, You are the enlightened activity of the Buddhas of three times. Oh Tara, together with your assembly, I request your presence here. Gods and demi-gods Bow their crowns to your lotus feet, You who rescue from all poverty Mother Tara to you I prostrate. (x3) Chant Leader: Visualize that Venerable Arya Tara dissolves into the White Tara image in the space in front. Seven-Limb Offering to Tara To the Exalted Ārya, the Noble Lady Tārā, And to all the victorious ones and their heirs 1 Dwelling in all directions of the universe, through past, present and future, Sincerely and enthusiastically I pay homage! I make offerings of flowers, incense, lamps, fragrant scents, And food, and music, and the like — Both physical and imaginary, created by the mind. Assembly of Noble Deities, please accept them all! All my negative deeds throughout beginningless time until today, The ten non-virtues and the five with immediate reckoning — Sprung from this mind that is driven by destructive emotions, I confess them all, each and every one.
