Give Your Ego the Wisdom Eye

Dharma in Daily Life, Introductory, Lama Yeshe, Nature of the Mind

Watching your internal world is more interesting than watching a movie. Every minute, there’s something new as your mind is constantly moving. It’s a remarkable experience!

-Lama Yeshe

Lama Yeshe explains why and how to release our ego. These teachings were given during a five-day retreat Lama led near Melbourne, Australia, in March 1975, dedicated to the awakening of inner freedom and published by LYWA in Ego, Attachment and Liberation.

The Transference of Consciousness

Death and Transitions, Lama Yeshe, Sickness and Health

“From the Buddhist point of view, human life and death are equally important events. There’s no reason to think that life is important and death is bad, unimportant. You should not think that way. Both are important.”

Lama Yeshe’s teachings on the transference of consciousness at death are particularly poignant as these were from the last teachings Lama gave in the West; he passed away some five months later.  These teachings have been published by LYWA as “Life, Death and After Death” and are drawn from teachings given by Lama in London, 1982 and Geneva, 1983.
