Clean-Clear: Refuge, Bodhicitta and the Nature of the Mind brings together introductory teachings given in England in 1976 and the Netherlands in 1980, as Lama Yeshe guides students in exploring the foundations of the Buddhist path with his characteristic warmth, clarity and wisdom. Compiled and edited by Nicholas Ribush, this is the second volume in a series of Lama Yeshe's collected teachings, following Knowledge-Wisdom: The Peaceful Path to Liberation.
