Offered online via Zoom by Karmapa Center 16 (recorded)
Sunday, October 26, 2025
9:30 am – 10:30 am Mountain Time
You are warmly invited to join for a special teaching by Acharya Lhakpa Tshering, Karmapa Center 16’s resident teacher, on the profound practice of Amitabha, ahead of the 44th Parinirvāṇa Anniversary of His Holiness the 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje. Amitabha practice is especially relevant for our time:
-
- We have the opportunity to act for the benefit of ourselves and others, making our human life meaningful and fruitful.
- Amitabha teaches that genuine aspiration toward Sukhāvatī, combined with focused mind and positive deeds, creates the path for rebirth there. One way of thinking about this is simply as the next moment—supporting both our own well-being and that of the global community day by day.
- To open this path, we need to sincerely aspire to be born in Dewachen, cultivate virtuous actions, and dedicate the merit of these actions for the benefit of all beings.
We feel honored that Acharya Lhakpa Tshering kindly accepted our invitation to teach on the practice of Amitabha, and hope you will join us on October 26, from 10:30 to 11:30 am Central Time (Chicago, USA). This will replace our usual Sunday Meditation for All session.
Registration is free. You are welcome to offer a teaching gift or donation in support of the Stupa Project.
