Bringing Dharma to the West - Lama Yeshe Part 1 Chapter 1 of 9

Chapter 1 of 9 - for more information, please visit: www.lamayeshe.com..........In October 1982, after the visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa, Italy, which Lama Yeshe arranged, Lama was interviewed on behalf of the Meridian Trust, the Buddhist film and video archive, by Geoff Jukes, Meridians founder, and Brian Beresford.

In the first interview, Lama explains how he and Lama Zopa Rinpoche first began teaching Buddhism to Westerners, how to teach Dharma in the West, the form Buddhism might take in its transition from East to West, the development of the first FPMT centersand more.

In the second interview, Lama details how the first centers began, what their purpose was, how life in the centers should be, how he selected the resident teachers and what their relationship with the centers administration should be, how the different aspects of the community—ordained students, lay students and families—should interact with each otherand more.

These interviews offer a fascinating insight into one of the greatest Tibetan masters to come out of Tibet and one of the most effective in bringing the teachings of the Buddha to the world at large. A great inspiration.

I was watching this DVD again today and it is so wonderful that we still have this amazing footage, these interviews to watch over and over - how great that they have been able to be preserved for us to watch now. I never got to see or meet Lama Yeshe, but through all of these beautiful DVD's put out by the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, I can access his teachings from so many years ago. And they are still just as viable and meaningful now as they were then. Love and light to the LYWA team!
