The Webcast:
In this teaching, Khenpo-la will give a step-by-step introduction and explanation to the ‘Seven-Limb Prayer’. The ‘Seven-Limb Prayer’ is a preliminary practice traditionally undertaken before listening to or studying the Dharma and prior to any meditation practice in order to place the mind in an appropriate state and to accumulate merit and purify negativities. The seven limbs are: prostrations; making offerings; purifying non-virtuous habits; rejoicing in the wholesome actions of others and oneself; requesting the Buddhas to teach; appealing to the Buddhas not to enter into Parinirvana; and dedicating merit.
The Venerable Khenpo Kunsang Choephel, a senior teacher at the International Buddhist Academy, is becoming widely appreciated for the clarity and approachability of his introductory teachings on key topics.
The teaching will be recorded live and will be available to view by the end of the day Nepal time on October 17th. The webcast will then remain available for you to view at any time of your choosing until November 16th, 2020.
