THE l<AGYU MoNLAM BooK: A CoMPILATION FOR REciTATION
Except for the selections noted below, translated by the Kagyu Monlam Translation Team
under the direction of the I 7th Gyalwang Karmapa at Gyuto Ramoche Tantric University,
Sidhbari, Dharamsala, in March and April of 2007.

Translation by Ari Goldfield, adapted from Stephen Batchelor's translation.
The current Kagyu Monlam was initiated by Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche in 1983.
It is thanks to his and Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche's tireless efforts that the Kagyu
Monlam has grown to what it is today. I flrst attended the Kagyu Monlam in 2001.
In general and from a Tibetan perspective, the Monlam gatherings were going very
well. But after I had attended several of them, I gained some experience and began
to see opportunities for further development by incorporating elements from our
rich tradition while making it more relevant to present day society. Since this is an
important matter for the entire lineage, it would have been arrogant of me to make
changes all by myself, so I asked Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche and other authentic lamas
for their advice. At that time, these changes were just a hope that I did not act
upon, but when Bokar Rinpoche suddenly passed away, I was concerned for the
future of the Monlam so I threw myself into the task of running it without any
thought for mysel
From the time I received the name "Karmapa," I have studied and practiced
the traditions of the previous Karmapas, and I have also looked at the ways of the
modern world with keen interest. I cannot just stay indoors and read books. In so-
ciety as well as in Buddhism, there are many problems and I felt I should take re-
sponsibility for solving them, not hesitating to be in the forefront of change.
I am still young and it is difficult to flnd people who share my vision. At the
same time, I am under a lot of pressure from different directions. The one thing
that gives me support is to picture all the unseen Buddhas and deities behind me.
As for myself, it is my sincere hope that I can dedicate all my time and freedom so
that others will truly beneflt.
The flrst aspect of the Kagyu Monlam that needed changing was the text that
is recited. Central to the Monlam-what gives it power and plants the seeds of
future results-is the recitation of aspirations and prayers. In fact, for all Buddhist
traditions, recitation is important, forming a part of daily life just like using a com-
puter or watching television.
What is Dharma? It is that which can truly protect us from suffering. Much
has been said about the many different ways of practicing it. Recitation is consid-
ered one of the ten dharma practices (along with copying scriptures, making of-

~C411 ~;~~l~~~~~~~~:l\l:lw~~~l:ll s::.~q~~~~~f~~~~~~~:l\l:lw~~~l:ll :1\::.~~~~ be used up but increase continuously, it is necessary to dedicate roots of virtue. As for the support for
dedication, dedication done before a support ofthe three jewels will be accomplished. Dedication done
~~~:l;,q~~~~l:lcr,,~.C41/:l~l:l~~~~~~~~~~~l:l~~l:l~~~:o~q~q~~~ ~~::.a.~~t;~~~~l:l~

~l:l~r::1 ~~::_~~~~~l:l~'~'l:l'~r:::l ~~;z;:~~~q~~q~~~:o~q~l ~~~t:.'~~q~~l:l~~~:o~~q:l;,' complished. What is dedicated is all roots ofvirtue ofthe three times. This includes past roots ofvirtue,
future roots ofvirtue, and present roots ofvirtue-all ofthese are dedicated. Ifroots ofvirtue are sum-
q~~~l ~~~C41~~::_q~::., ~~~~C41~~::_q~::., q~~~C41~'~"q~~~~~~~~~~ q~~~~q~~~~ marized, they are all included in those that arise from generosity, those that arise from morality, and
those that arise from meditation. As for the manner of dedication, do not dedicate them to yourself

q~~~arsq~~~ ~"~~~dq~q:l;,~a.s~~la.a:~~~~~l ~~"~q:l;,~-~~C41~~~~t;~~~~~~~-~ Until buddhahood is achieved, its results will be inexhaustible. For example, ifyou cast one drop of
