Join the Kagyu Monlam 2019 live stream 

December 15, 2019

We are delighted to invite you to join the Kagyu Monlam 2019, one of the most significant events in the Buddhist calendar.

The Kagyu Monlam takes place in Bodh Gaya, India, under the shade of the Bodhi Tree, where the historical Buddha attained enlightenment. Every year, thousands of students, monks, nuns and other venerables gather to make aspirations for the benefit of all sentient beings. Since 1996, Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, has been leading the aspiration prayers at the Monlam, accompanied by other Buddhist lamas.

The Tibetan word Mon-lam can be translated as ‘Path of Aspiration’, but how does one make an aspiration prayer?

In this powerful and practical teaching, Karmapa shares how to make aspirations – wholeheartedly, and without any worry or expectations.

There will be daily live streams from the afternoon sessions at Bodh Gaya. The Monlam will be simultaneously streamed on Karmapa.org on this link and on Karmapa’s official facebook page:
