Khenpo Sodargye has served at the renowned Serthar Larung Buddhist Institute in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province since 1985. He is committed to writing Buddhist scriptures, translating Chinese and Tibetan classics, and promoting Buddhism.
The theater was almost fully packed, with students and teachers from the University of Macau, the Macau Institute of Science and Technology, and the Macao Polytechnic Institute, as well as with local residents. In the talk, Khenpo interpreted the fragility and impermanence of life, as well as the various reasons of increasing frequency of natural disasters in recent years, and everything is derived from a cause-and-effect relationship.

藏傳佛教大德索達吉堪布受邀於澳門大學的佛學講座圓滿舉行
由澳門大學學生會佛教學會及澳門大學何鴻燊東亞書院合辦的《佛教如何面對災難》講座於2015年6月9日下午二時半在學生活動中心的音樂劇場成功舉行。
是次講座有幸邀請到索達吉堪布為主講者，堪布來自四川甘孜色達五明佛學院，是當今藏傳佛教最具影響力的大德之一，著有《苦才是人生》、《做才能得到》和《殘酷才是青春》等書，並常年致力於著述佛經，翻譯漢藏經典，弘揚佛法。
講座開始前一小時， 已陸續有聽眾來到澳門大學的學生活動中心。當中包括澳大、理工、科大的師生及本地居民，令演講廳差不多座無虛席。在講座中，堪布向我們闡釋了生命的脆弱與無常，以及近年來之所以天災人禍愈來愈多的諸方面的原因。這一切皆是因果使然。

在之後長達一個小時的問答環節裡，聽眾們提出了很多尖銳又值得讓人反思的問題，例如：「在極端環境下，人為了生存只能獵殺動物，若非如此，則不能存活下去，人該怎麼辦？」，「在西藏旅行時，為正在辯經的僧侶拍照，卻反被其收拍攝費，這樣的現象似乎與佛教的形象格格不入，這該如何解釋？」等等，堪布都能用幽默機智的話語一一為其解答。
講座結束後， 何鴻燊東亞書院院長姚偉彬教授和澳大佛教學會的同學們帶著堪布參觀了澳大校區及書院內部，堪布非常喜歡澳大的校園環境，並讚歎校園環境優美、舒適，澳大的師生很有福報。
