In the 2024-01-21 class, we went through verse 38 of the Guru Puja, the part of confession of the seven-limb prayer.

  • the three ways of accumulating virtue and non-virtue, either by doing it yourself, having someone do it for you, and rejoicing in someone doing it,
  • understanding that virtue always results in happiness and that non virtue always results in suffering
  • also knowing that actions can be purified with the right motivation and actions by way of the 4 opponent powers and how to do so

      Hi, I’m not sure. Maybe you can try to open the link in a private/incognito window, as it works fine on my end. We will try to improve the audio quality as well during the live sessions going forward.

  • Tibetan word of the day: ལྷན་ཅིག་བྱེད་པའི་རྐྱེན་

    ལྷན་ཅིག་བྱེད་པའི་རྐྱེན་

    co-operating conditions

    Spelling (jorlok; Tib. སྦྱོར་ཀློག་) and pronunciation:
    ལྷན་ – la ha-tak hla na hlen
    ཅིག་ – ca gigu ci ga cig (chik)
    བྱེད་ – ba ya-tak ja drengbu je da je
    པའི་ – pa a gigu i pe
    རྐྱེན་ – ra ka-tak ka ya-tak kya drengbu kye na kyen
    hlen chik je pe kyen

    From class, we discussed results that do and don’t use the
    co-operating conditions of soil and water, such as a tree and fire, respectively.


    Geshe la encourages us to learn Tibetan to help gain deeper
    understanding of the teachings, and gain access to prayers and rituals that have not been translated. The Tibetan word of the day is offered to give regular exposure to Tibetan reading and vocabulary.
