HHDL 33rd Kalachakra Initiation

Post by kirtu »

HHDL's 33rd Kalachakra Initiation began today in Ladakh at Likir Monastery. As usual, HHDL will teach for a week or so before beginning the actual initiation. Today's teaching was on the Heart Sutra.

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”

"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

Thanks for posting these!

As streaming is difficult for me I look forward to downloading and viewing them in the future once the teachings are over!

Voice of Tibet's video article on HHDL begining the Kalachakra Initiation in Ladakh. All in Tibetan
phpBB [video]


A Mongolian video on HHDL's teaching at the start of the 33rd Kalachakra. This is basically just video as the audio in minimal and low level.
phpBB [video]


This video is posted by Khaliun Tsevegdorj, certainly a Mongolian or Kalmyk or related people's name. Their Youtube video channel appears to have all of the daily activities in Ladakh so far. These are in Cyrillic under Калачакры в Ладаке (Kalachakra in Ladakh) and are numbered starting at 1 (the above video is 2).

Carrie from Good Karma Media reporting on the Kalachakra:

Khaliun Tsevegdorj has posted more videos of today's activities and they are extensive (more extensive than the videos produced by HHDL's office which I except to be posted this evening). Unfortunately I do not have time to post the links at the moment but you can follow the link in the post above to find them.

However they have begun building the mandala.

Preliminary teachings, apparently given on 6 July, 2014. HHDL teachs the Ratnavali, Precious Garland, and the Suhrllekha, Letter to a Friend, both by Nagarjuna.
