Who We Are
Read a recent interview with Director Nick Ribush in Snow
Lion Magazine for an overview of our latest projects.
The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive (LYWA) is the collected works
of Lama Thubten Yeshe and Kyabje Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.
The Archive was founded in 1996 by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, its
spiritual director, to make available in various ways the
teachings it contains. Publication of books of edited teachings
for free distribution is one of the ways.
Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche began teaching at Kopan
Monastery, Nepal, in 1970. Since then, their teachings have
been recorded and transcribed. At present we have more than
10,000 hours of digital audio and some 60,000 pages of raw
transcript on our computers. Many recordings, mostly teachings
by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, remain to be transcribed, and as Rinpoche
continues to teach, the number of recordings in the Archive
increases accordingly. Most of our transcripts have been neither
checked nor edited.
Here at the LYWA we are making every effort to organize the
transcription of that which has not yet been transcribed,
to edit that which has not yet been edited, and generally
do the many other tasks detailed below.
The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive is a member of the Foundation
for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition. We are
a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible, non-profit corporation dedicated
to the welfare of all sentient beings and totally dependent
upon your donations for our continued existence.
