Introduction to Tantra: In 1980, in California, Lama Yeshe gave a commentary to the Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) yoga method. This video is Lama's introduction to this series (the recordings of the rest of the series are waiting for funds so that we can finish preparing them...please help!) and constitute a wonderful explanation of the fundamentals of tantric practice.

Anxiety in the Nuclear Age - Lama Yeshe
In January 2007, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (www.thebulletin.org) moved the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock forward two minutes, to five minutes to midnight, the figurative end of civilization, citing the perils of the earth's 27,000 nuclear weapons--2,000 of them ready to launch within minutes--as one of the main reasons for doing so.
They said "We stand at the brink of a Second Nuclear Age. Not since the first atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki has the world faced such perilous choices."
In two public lectures in California in July 1983, Lama Yeshe addressed the perils of the First Nuclear Age, exacerbated at that time by the Cold War and Americans' worries over the Soviet nuclear threat. Although the nature of our current concerns is different, Lama's observations and insights are as relevant today as they were when he first made them and we are honored to bring them to you on this DVD.

The Three Principal Aspects of the Path: During His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 1982 teachings at Institut Vajra Yogini, France, Lama Yeshe was asked to "baby-sit" the audience for a couple of days when His Holiness manifested illness. The result is this excellent two-part introduction to the path to enlightenment, in which Lama explains renunciation, bodhicitta and the right view of emptiness.
