The 102th Gaden Tripa greets His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the teaching pavilion at Shewatsel Grounds in Leh on the last day of the four day teachings. The Tibetan spiritual leader gave teachings on Tsongkhapa's The Three Principal Paths (Tib: lamtso namsum) and Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment (Tib: jangchup lamdron) and also confer an Avalokiteshvera Initiation (Tib: thukje chenpo jigten wangchuk wang). “Now, when literacy is much more widespread, we should regard the 300 or so volumes of the Kangyur (Translated Words) and Tengyur (Translated Treatises) as text books we can read and study. We shouldn’t think of them only as objects to pay respect to. I read these texts myself, they are important and profound. I urge all of you to do the same, read them and study them. You don’t need to learn Sanskrit or any other language because we have excellent translations into Tibetan" said the Dalai Lama on August 7, 2012. (Photo/OHHDL/Jeremy Russell)
