The Practice of Equanimity, Love, Compassion & Joy
Online with
Khenpo Chonyi Rangdrol

Friday 13 & 20 September  7.30pm – 9.00pm AEST

We become what we put into ourselves. It follows that if we think about immeasurable love, immeasurable compassion, immeasurable joy, and immeasurable equanimity, we will become a loving, compassionate, joyful, and stable person.

— Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche IX.

E-Vam Institute is pleased to announce the annual teaching series with Khenpo Chonyi Rangdrol. Over the course of two evenings, Khenpo Chonyi will discuss the Four Brahmaviharas or Four Immeasurables, known as the central virtues of Buddhism. We cannot simply, just like that, become a compassionate person; we need to spend time developing a genuine sense of compassion through meditation. The practice of the Four Immeasurables are a gateway to a positive, caring outlook which in turn, will lead us to have a more positive and skilful impact in the real world.

Khenpo Chonyi Rangdrol became a monk at the Thrangu Monastery Nepal at the age of six and in 1998 became the youngest Khenpo in the Monastery’s history. Khenpo-la was then appointed as a teacher at the Monastic College for two years. From 2003 to 2010, Khenpo-la served as the Principal of Shree Mangal Dvip School, and since 2011, Khenpo-la has served as Abbot of Thrangu Tara Abbey Nunnery. From 2014 to 2016, Khenpo-la was appointed Vice President of the Nepal Buddhist Federation, and is currently a senate member of Lumbini Buddhist University. In May 2022, Khenpo was appointed as the chairman (CEO) of Thrangu Monastery in Namo Buddha.

The term khenpo (Tib. མཁན་པོ། mkhen po), or khenmo (in the feminine) is a degree for higher Buddhist studies given in Tibetan Buddhism. In the Nyingma, Kagyu, and Sakya traditions, the title is awarded usually after 13 years of intensive study after secondary school. It may roughly translate to either a bachelor’s degree or nowadays more likely to a degree in Buddhist Studies, equivalent to a PhD or MPhil. The degree is awarded to students who can publicly defend their erudition and mastery in at least five subjects of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, namely Prajñāpāramitā, Madhyamaka, Pramāṇa, Abhidharma, and Vinaya. After successfully passing their examination they are entitled to serve as teachers of Buddhism.
