Dear Online Shedra followers,
You can soon download all the Bodhicharyavatara teaching audios through one page in the Library. Chapter 1 audio links are there already, and the rest of the chapters will be added shortly. Hopefully this makes accessing the teachings nice and easy!
Our video server has been down for a while. It will soon be up and running again after a thorough maintenance. We apologise for the inconvenience, thank you for your patience, and hope you enjoy listening to the teachings on audio.
As you know, it has been a busy, exciting and successful year for Rinpoche, with a lot of hard work organising His Holiness the Karmapa’s historical first visit to Europe in May-June, and now he is travelling again, without a steady internet access. Nevertheless, we hope that Rinpoche will very soon send us new teachings on the Bodhicharyavatara again.

Dear Friends,
Our sincere apologies for not posting any new updates on the Online Shedra during the past months. Now, this is to inform you that Ringu Tulku’s Bodhicharyavatara teachings will still be on hold for some time. As you may know, His Holiness the 17th Karmapa Orgyen Trinley Dorje’s first visit to Europe will take place in Germany in May-June. Rinpoche is in good health, and very busy, being the main organiser of His Holiness’ visit. We hope that many of you will be able to participate the upcoming events at Kamalashila and in Berlin.
Please find out more on His Holiness the Karmapa’s visit:

Dear Friends,
For the past two months Ringu Tulku could not send new video teachings on the Sixth Chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara, and we have been missing his videos badly. In the meantime, the website has gone through some technical improvements, and the Online Shedra teachings were moved to a new platform. Re-linking of the videos is still under way and we apologize for the delay.

We are still moving the Shedra teachings to the new server and updating the video links. Our sincere apologies for it taking so much longer than expected! We hope everything to be available again very soon. Thank you for your patience.
Rinpoche is now attending Nam Cho Empowerments in Shechen Monastery. The transmissions last until mid-November. We very much hope that Rinpoche can send some new video teachings after that.
In the meantime, there will be a series of videos posted soon from the teachings Rinpoche gave in France recently. The teaching is a commentary on Patrul Rinpoche’s short text on meditation on the Bodhicharyavatara.
Stay tuned for some great teachings soon, and don’t hesitate to contact us any time by email shedra@bodhicharya.org or via the contact form.
Dear Friends,
The Online Shedra videos are in the process of moving to a new server. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have been be causing you these past days. We expect all videos to be visible from the new server by next weekend. Until then, the number of videos that can be viewed will increase gradually.
The audio teachings are available for listening during the move as usual.
With love and thanks,
Online Shedra
After a successful summer tour Ringu Tulku is now again continuing the video teachings on the Bodhicharyavatara. With this video (BA6_76-86) Rinpoche gives a commentary on the section of cultivating patience towards those who are doing something good for the people we regard as our enemies. This section is covered by stanzas 76 to 86 of the Sixth Chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara.

Many of us have been fortunate to meet Rinpoche in some of the events during his summer tour, but he has not been able to send new videos on the Bodhicharyavatara lately.
Dear Online Shedra followers,
After the glorious Bodhicharya Summer Camp in Portugal, Rinpoche is continuing his summer tour, currently traveling in France. He’s not had the circumstances to send new videos on the Bodhicharyavatara so far, so why not enjoy this summer gap and maybe catch up with the previous online shedra teachings — or listen to the recordings of Rinpoche’s wonderful teachings generously shared by some of the centers he has visited on his tour recently.
For instance:
“The Nature of Mind” and “Change Starts in Our Heart”, two teachings given by Ringu Tulku in Totnes, UK, for Bodhicharya Southwest: http://www.bodhicharyasouthwest.org.uk
“Meditation – What’s the Point?”, a public talk by Ringu Tulku in Dublin, organised by Bodhicharya Ireland:

With best wishes for your summer,

With this video (BA6_67-75) Ringu Tulku explains how the negative actions are done out of ignorance. It’s up to us to end this spiral, which otherwise could go on for generations.
If I react with patience and loving kindness instead of hatred, then, even if that requires some sacrifice now, it will prevent more problems in the long run, and contribute to happiness of everybody. At least, I have started a more positive way of life for myself. If I can do this, I should rejoice. That’s the true dharma practice. This is Rinpoche’s commentary on stanzas 67 to 75 of the Sixth Chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara.

One of the most difficult times to have patience is when our religion, our teachers, or our loved ones are harmed. Even then, however, there is no reason to be angry. We should of course do whatever we can to prevent and stop that, but we should remain patient. This is Rinpoche’s commentary on stanzas 64 to 66 of the Sixth Chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara. (BA6_64-66)

With video BA6_61-63 Rinpoche finishes the topic continued from previous videos — why we should remain patient when we are slandered or insulted — as explained in stanzas 61 to 63 of the Sixth Chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara.
