Press Release

His Holiness the Dalai Lama launched the first ever Buddhist Television programme called “NOBLE WISDOM” last year on Sadhna TV at Patna on May 27, 2010. The initiative of a Buddhism based TV programme was taken by Sherab Sangpo Society, a based Delhi non profit charitable society founded under the auspices of His Eminence Tsona Gontse Rinpoche. The last year’s launch of the TV programme event coincided with the very auspicious occasion of Buddh-Purnima (the day when Lord Buddha was born, attained Englightenment and Maha-Parinirvana).

The society through the medium of television aspires to build a platform to give an access of the precious sublime Buddhist philosophy and teachings of Lord Buddha to the common masses specially those living in the Himalayan region of Ladakh, Himachal, Uttranchal, Sikkim, West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal.

People living in the Himalayan region follow the same Buddhist tradition for centuries. Due to their geographical location and lack of access to Buddhist teachings, the society launched this programme to introduce them to the wonderful teachings of Buddhist masters while staying at home engaged in their professional daily lives.

The programme is not just restricted to Buddhists but it also aims to reach to the non Buddhist people who have genuine interest and desire to learn more about Buddhism. The programme telecasts and broadcasts the very simple message of Buddha, i.e. peace, love, tolerance, wisdom, selfless service and compassion. These basic human values are universal and very much relevant in today’s world where there are lot of conflicts, violence, distrust and problems ranging from political to environmental issues.

The Buddhist programme was also being aired simultaneously in Nepal on the channel Nepal 1 till recently apart from Sadhna Channel in India. But the Nepalese channel is said to have later objected to showing of His Holiness the Dalai Lama under Chinese influence.

The Buddhist Television programme “NOBLE WISDOM” will now be aired on a new channel NE TV [Noth East] from 2nd of July 2011. The programme will be telecast four times a week on every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 06:00 – 06:26 AM. The programme will reach further into the North Eastern States where a sizeable amount of Buddhists like Tamang, Gurung, lepchas, and Bhutias live across the states of West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam and Arunachal. Tsona Rinpoche is also very much involved in the spiritual upliftment of these Buddhist minorities living in the north eastern states.

Keeping in mind the sizeable number of Buddhists living in the Maharashtra and near by states following the Ambedkar steps, the language of the programme has been kept in Hindi and sometimes in English with Hindi subtitles.

The programme “Noble Wisdom” contains three segments which are followed:

1. Sowarigpa and Buddhist Events:

a) Buddhist Events:

This segment shows the various Buddhist festivals and events celebrated across the country and it also broadcast some important events and functions attended by our Buddhist spiritual masters like His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other high lamas.

b) Sowarigpa Medicinal System:

The programme tries to educate and spread awareness about the Sowarigpa medical system and from time to time give a detail accounts of various illnesses and its cure and healings.

2. Buddhist Astro Prediction:

The programme also gives a comprehensive Buddhist astrology predictions for our general viewers in terms of when to lay foundation for new houses, auspicious dates for hanging prayer flags, business and career predictions, when to go into a major operations and many other factors which needs to be done on a certain dates and times.
