Part 1: Introduction to Tantra - Lama Yeshe

[@TeaSmithWay]

Anyone else find his smiles as being somewhat indicative of compassionately seeing how we’re all suffering taking this all as being real, and he knows exactly how we’re reacting and thinking, exactly how lost we are, and it’s all kinda humorous but in a very accepting and caring kinda way.

[@sekubambadomino1671]

The tantra is very much awake in certain parts of Africa where I come from. My language as I later got to understand is a non dual one, there is no doer. I kept on having experiences going up but didn't know who to consult. Years later in Europe, I became a Buddhist under the Umbrella of Trungpa Rinpoche, still am. I had with time forgotten my experience of the past until one day I bought a book of this wonderful being talking to us now, and behold here it was. Tons and tons of load fell off my shoulders. This is not bragging, this is my way to say Thank you sir.

[@shylock5477]

interesting! which parts of Africa exactly

[@rollandswing73]

He almost looks like he's channeling something, or receiving direct guidance on what to say. His student, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, does something similar. They say it's because he's analyzing what the audience needs and will be able to hear/handle and will tailor his teachings accordingly. The sign of a Living Buddha. 🙏🙏🙏

[@tristani_om]

No doubt about it

[@ཀལའུདིཨབྱམསཔ]

Exactly….!!!! Amazing! Amazing! These Masters are really Buddhas 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@anandaagnideva4268]

Thank you to the kind hearts that made this beautiful gem of Dharma available. Metta to all

[@jyungsam]

I have traveled the world, read many book and practices. I must say Tibetan Vajrayana Tantra practices are best kept secret for this humanity. They are still in the purest forms with lineages going back to centuries. Amazing masters !

[@Smoove-e7bh]

I’ve never heard a talk that cuts through like this. ❤️

[@raymondcloud4949]

The most life changing talk I ever watched. Lama's precision and clarity is astounding, what an insight!

[@hilostateofmind]

Yeah this cuts right through like a knife opening the mind to pure clarity. Brought me right back to center after years of swimming through post traumatic amnesia fog. 🙏 I cannot even begin to explain how grateful I am for this right now. Thank you Lama Yeshe.

[@larslarsen1444]

As long as you think that there is anything in this phenomenal world that can make you happy or you are attached to anything then you are setting yourself up to be disappointed.Happiness and sadness are like praise and blame because you should not let them control you.Primordial essence is anywhere and everywhere.

[@fleursduvide3049]

First time I see a teaching of Lama Yeshe ! Wow, how fortunate those people who came, come and will come in contact with such a diamond-Master, a pure embodiment of wisdom-bliss, compassion infinite... Thank you to permit this wonderful meeting.

[@nitai154]

These Tantric Masters are immensely powerful. They are world renowned for their Siddhis.

[@GeminiAmbience]

Thank you for these videos. I first encountered Lama Yeshe's writings when I was a junior in high school (1989-90) and his teachings have brought me to practicing meditation in my life...every time I read his books, my life improves, my happiness improves, and my mindfulness meditation improves.

[@themouri.4360]

Thank you! Anyone who watches this needs it.

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

Exactly. Shakyamuni finds us.

[@anjanisiddhartha]

For those who didn't know, Thubten Yeshe was suffering from a heart condition for many years (eventually leaving the body at 49) from his last letter: "It has been forty-one days since I became ill. The condition of my body is such that I have become the lord of a cemetery; my mind is like that of an anti-god and my speech like the barking of an old, mad dog. I still take sixteen pills a day, and because I must depend upon others for moving about and sleeping, and because my hand shakes when I write, read my letter depending upon the meanings intended and not upon the mere words written. "

[@jerry-mind-sky]

Thank very much for the info. All best.

[@ཀལའུདིཨབྱམསཔ]

This makes me cry and I don’t know why… 🙏🙏🙏 I m so grateful

[@jeideprince9019]

I'm glad I was put on to this...so necessary. Much love to the Lama

[@prodiptoroy830]

What wonderful recordings of Lama Yeshe. I had just met him that year in Nepal but never heard teachings on tantra from him. Joya Roy

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

Yes. I love it so much! Specially when he does the little mudra dance on "Renunciation, Bodhicitta, Emptiness". So great! 😁

[@BillSikes.]

I always wondered what he looked like, I've got 'an introduction to Tantra and Inner Fire, The Six Yogas of Naropa' I've had these books years, they're like old friends and they've taught and helped me so much throughout life, Many thanks for uploading this video Om Mani Padmi Hum 🙏🙏

[@kushkagirl]

thanks for mentioning these-I wasn't aware that he had books out and have now just bought all 3 on Amazon. Much appreciated!

[@PrimordialWisdom]

Thank you for your precious teachings on the nature of our mind. May all being have peace.

[@whellockroad]

Brilliant, especially loved the hand movement at 5:25

[@peaceloveandstrength543]

His is beautiful. You can feel his smile

[@7125Mhz]

New material! WOW! Thank you so much for your hard work!

[@tenzingangdon295]

It's my first time to know about lama yeshe.... feel blessed and happy❤❤

[@beatrizkarwai6763]

Great teacher, I'm glad for finding you =)

[@ichbinans]

He is so sweet..just pure ❤️

[@rodrigovera8253]

i like the part when he says that even meditation is extreme mind. that is a deep understanting of the attachment of mind

[@tenzinwoser565]

Wow! what a great teaching on Vajrayana, thank you very much for sharing.

[@BeStillAndKnow1111]

This answered so many of my questions. :)

[@vishant1111]

Good guru ...we r luck to listen u🙏

[@wazzap6077]

His teaching are great thank you

[@annibee8126]

Oh Lama ❤️ one of a kind.

[@Deestroyer82]

Well this is a hidden gem 💎

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

Hidden?

[@NaturalNutritionist333]

Thank you Lama Yeshe

[@beejh6206]

I first caught this teaching in the 90's on native CD then the realpayer version it is still as fresh as at first thanks NIck for the subtitles - the best teaching for me ? maybe too intellectual...tnx lywa

[@manateeak]

THANK YOU for the video .

[@zarielandaluz458]

Easy going, don't put intellect. Approach with renunciation, then Boddhicitta/compassion and then with sunyhata/voidness. Let it flow organically. Thank you tempa, Lama Yeshe. Namo Buddhaya, namo Dharmaya, namo Sanghaya. For the benefit of all sentient beings in body, word/speech and mind.

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

True. But to attain full Emptiness realisation does strongly involve the intellect initially.

[@TeaSmithWay]

I guess if you’re taking Madhyamika type analysis as path. Zen doesn’t much approach through analytical, Dzogchen neither. From Dudjom Rinpoches “Calling the Guru from Afar”. JE PA'I CHÖ KYI SANG GYE 'DRUB DU NI MI DA'
There will never be a time when contrived practice leads to Buddhahood:

YI CHÖ LÖ JE GOM 'DI LU JE KYI DRA RE
This intellectually contrived meditation of mental analysis is a deceitful enemy.

DA NI 'DZIN TANG SHIG PA'I DO ME KYI NYÖN PA
This very instant, (let) mental grasping fall apart with the abandon of a madman,

JUNG GYÄL CHER NYÄL NGANG LA MI TS'E 'DI KYEL TONG
And let this human life be spent in a state of spontaneous and naked ease:

[@Thesandymcneill]

Thank you for sharing this video 😊

[@nonviolentcommunicationpro1602]

Thank you Lama Yeshe!

[@jitendrasinghcharan5275]

Namo Lama yeshe...

[@tarand100]

Thank you Lama

[@morriganbonegardener500]

This guy is trippy to watch! Someone said channeling I think it for sure looks like some kind of trance!

[@worldpeace6471]

So blessing. .

[@87villain]

what a smile!

[@Tarreeeee]

Thank you

[@vikki9838]

Seems Renounciation happens automatically if we see samsara with full awareness

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

Exactly. Because it's disfunctionality is exposed.

[@adityachouksey7006]

i went to a buddhist monastery ....there a monk told me that lama yeshe never used to sleep..........

[@HigherSofia]

Deep meditation can probably give the same type of rest the brain needs to function, so that might be true.

[@chhattisgarhbiggest]

ADITYA CHOUKSEY ....jalebi

[@adityachouksey7006]

bed Soni...what?

[@iamOnewithAlltrust]

+ADITYA CHOUKSEY lahiri mahasaya also used to never sleep. He would meditate all night with disciples

[@nitai154]

It's true they don't sleep

[@dharmaanand6739]

can anyone tell me what the mantra is at the end...it gave me shivers all over

[@LamaYesheWisdomArchive]

GE WA DI YI NYUR DU DAG CHENREZIG WANG DRUB GYUR NA DRO WA CHIG KYANG MA LÜ PA DE YI SA LA GÖ PAR SHOG And here's the English translation: Due to this virtue, may I quickly Become Chenrezig, And lead all transmigratory beings, without exception, To that state.

[@raafathamze1559]

It did the same to me.

[@ALEXISBENELHADJ]

Thank you so much for that !

[@bujifan]

Why is he rocking and looking around his smiling and eye movements I don't understand?

[@LamaYesheWisdomArchive]

bujifan Many lamas rock back and forth when they teach from a sitting position. Perhaps like how professors walk back and forth in a lecture hall? And perhaps smiling and eye movements help the watching students stay awake?

[@bujifan]

Thank you for your answer. I have heard that some meditation practices cause shaking,and thought maybe he was trying to maintain a certain meditative state while speaking.

[@tjnomadi3648]

+bujifan its called in and out of samadhi states.

[@franktroppello9747]

He's coming in and out of this state of being.

[@nicholaspearson4246]

The hyper-individualism of western people, based on the philosophical and experiential background of centuries, makes embracing bodhicitta a challenge. Yet bodhicitta is there waiting to be awakened. The fortunate will use their own suffering as the fuel to embrace, accept, and live out of their own bodhicitta. In that way they will experience awakening, lessening of their own suffering, and the beginning of living as an enlightened being.

[@ramon2008]

Yes sir. I do agree with you. This hyper individualism is a poison in disguise.

[@jigwang8218]

I guess the lama is reading the mind of listener and accordingly answer to their curious...... coz he tk time and smile .

[@fairyofthemounds]

He could be listening to the minds of people in the future watching him on the computer, too. :)

[@tashisangpo7610]

Renunciation of samsara, is not claiming it as yours.

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

True. And an ABSOLUTE rejection of the eight worldly concerns. "In Samsara; the city of preconceptions; wander the zombies of the eight worldly concerns."

[@veetmargbeyond2425]

Shiva is the Adinath ...

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

THE 'REAL' MEANING OF TANTRA IS NO DIFFERENT TO THE 'REAL' MEANING OF THE BODHISATTVAYANA. THE LIBERATION OF ALL SENTIENT BEINGS. TANTRA/THE VAJRAYANA HAS NO OTHER 'MEANING' THAN THE MEANING OF BODHICITTA AS DOES THE BODHISATTVAYANA. THE BODHISATTVAYANA IS 'THE MIDDLE SCOPE VEHICLE' AND THE VAJRAYANA IS 'THE HIGHER SCOPE VEHICLE' AND THE SWIFT PATH. IT IS NOT 'SUPERIOR'; JUST FASTER AND MORE DIFFICULT; FOR THE PRACTITIONERS WHO HAVE THE CAPACITY AND WILLINGNESS TO TAKE IT ON. ULTIMATELY; ONE CANNOT PROGRESS IN TANTRA WITHOUT FULL EMPTINESS REALISATION AND INDESTRUCTIBLE BODHICITTA. AND OF COURSE; FULL RENUNCIATION. THESE ARE THE 3 FOUNDATIONS REQUIRED FOR SUCCESS. TANTRA WITHOUT BODHICITTA BEARS NO FRUIT.

[@truthseeker1871]

so. if you want your lovingkindness attitude to be destroyed just be filled with hatred. no problem. easy.

[@gnuPirate]

Thank you for the video.
