About Dharma Works

Dharma Works recordings are made by Sakya Losal Choe Dzong students on a voluntary basis, and administered by the

Rongton Buddhist Training College.

Our Resident Teachers

Born in Tibet, Lama Choedak Rinpoche is the founder and Spiritual Director of Sakya Losal Choe Dzong and the

Rongton Buddhist Training College. He is a fully qualified Tibetan Lama and meditation master, having completed twelve

years of rigorous monastic training, including a three year meditation retreat sponsored by the Dalai Lama. A student of

His Eminence Chogye Trichen Rinpoche - one of Tibet's highest Buddhist masters - Lama Choedak articulates ancient

Buddhist wisdom as an applicable tool for the modern age. He has an excellent command of English and his insightful and

witty teaching style have made him a popular and highly-regarded teacher.

Lama Choedak Rinpoche

Dharma Works tapes are recorded by volunteers who attend the teachings. While we try to obtain the best recordings

possible, the limitations of the recording equipment and ambient noise at the teaching venue may impact on the quality of

the recordings. In particular, many of the recordings prior to 1998 were made with hand-held cassette recorders and

background noise on these recordings can be quite significant. The audio quality of older tapes may also be poor due to

deterioration of the masters with repeated copying and the passage of time. Unfortunately, we do not currently have the

resources to make digital copies of the master tapes.

In his first teaching, Buddha explained that if we acknowledge the prevalence of suffering and understand its causes, then

suffering may be overcome by renouncing those causes and following the Noble Path. Personal knowledge of the sixteen

distinctive aspects or moments of suffering, gained through meditation and analysis, is a key element of understanding,

and thus overcoming, suffering and its causes.

Buddhist teaching challenges the notion of an inherently existing self. Instead, the self is seen as a collection of constantly

changing physical and mental factors - the five aggregates of feeling, perception, volition, form and consciousness.

Viewing the self in this way, we can inventory and evaluate the elements of our existence and experience, and overcome

the suffering created by our misunderstanding of the nature of existence.

The Five Aggregates: Understanding the True Nature of Self (1999)

Lama Choedak Rinpoche teaches on dealing with anger. Anger is a misunderstood emotion. It is destructive and many do

not know how to deal with it calmly. At the time, angry people feel justified, but most mistakes are done when a person

resorts to this negative emotion. Learn how to understand, diffuse and deal with anger to prevent suffering and pain

caused by selfishness; how to heal and reconcile with past mistakes and become transformed.
