Ahimsa

Thursday, December 10, 7:30 pm MST, Zoom
Please join us for an auspicious celebration with ZaChoeje Rinpoche, Geshe Lobsang and Geshe Namgyal. Rarely does Ganden Ngamcho Chenmo, Tsok and Emaho’s annual Ahimsa event fall on the same day.  This year we are fortunate all three are December 10th.  

Ganden Ngamcho Chenmo is ‘The Great Ganden Ngamcho Chenmo Celebration of the 25th’.  On this date, Lama Tsongkhapa entered paranarvina. All across Tibet thousands upon thousands of butter lamps are set on windows sills.  The hills and mountains shimmer with light. Worldwide Tibetan Buddhists join paying homage to Lama Tsongkhapa by making an offering of light. To read about Lama Tsonghkapa see our link. 

Each year, Emaho has a community event called Ahimsa which is a Sanskrit word meaning non-harm and compassion.  At this event, we celebrate the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.  During his acceptance of the prestigious award, His Holiness spoke of his dream for building a Zone of Ahimsa where the entire Tibetan plateau is a free refuge where humanity and nature can live in peace and harmony.

ZaChoeje Rinpoche will join us via Zoom and share with us some of his experiences with and thoughts about His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. In addition, this year Ahimsa falls on the auspicious Dakini and Tsok day which is the 10th day of the Tibetan lunar month.  We will virtually share with Rinpoche, Geshe Namgyal and Geshe Lobsang and dharma brothers and sisters for an auspicious Tsok.

Genuine Ahimsa, or non-violence, will only come after the inner disarmament of our mind. Lots of problems in this world are created out of ignorance and greed and it is impossible to achieve non-violence if our minds are full of fear and hatred. We need to use our human intelligence in challenging and overcoming negative emotions with positive emotions.’   His Holiness the Dalai Lama
