Rabjam Rinpoche on Resounding
-
The reading of the Kangyur is a highly meritorious practice in the Tibetan tradition. Rabjam Rinpoche tells us that this practice takes place regularly in the Tibetan monasteries, and explains the various ways of doing it.
In May 2012, 84000 held the inaugural public reading of the Kangyur in English at Found in Translation: An 84000 Sutra Resounding. Enjoy Rev. Chodrung Kunga's inspiring opening remarks and join us in witnessing the beautiful meeting of two cultures, as the ancient Tibetan sacred texts resound in a chorus of English voices.
