Notes

1. See The Tantric Path of Purification, pp. 58-60, for details of these three methods of purification.

2. This "son of the race" has nothing to do with gender but refers to a sentient being of a certain mental type, which in turn relates to the buddha family into which one has been initiated.

Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive

The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive (LYWA) is the collected works of Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche and a section of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT; http://www.fpmt.org)/. The Archive was founded in 1996 by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, its spiritual director, to make available in various ways the teachings it contains. Distribution of free booklets of edited teachings 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 the LYWA contains some 7,000 cassette tapes and approximately 40,000 pages of transcribed teachings on computer disk.

Here at the Archive, we preserve the tapes and transfer them to digital media; edit and publish the teachings for free distribution; edit teachings for publication as trade books; and maintain and develop our web site http://www.lamayeshe.com/.

All this work depends upon the compassion of kind readers like you. Please help us make the Dharma, especially the teachings of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche, freely available by sending us your generous donation today.
