Library of Recordings

The core of the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive is the collection of audio recordings of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche, dating back to 1971. The recordings range in quality, but as we are able to prepare them for online publication we will present them to you here.

Listen to Archive teachings via podcast! Find out more here...

All audio recordings are available in MP3 format. You can either download the file, or listen via "streaming" (listening without having to download the file). Links for the most common players are offered. If you have any questions, please email the webmaster. Enjoy!
