Becoming Your Own Therapist; An Introduction to the Buddhist Way of Thought 1 review
Lama Yeshe
Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, 1998
A good first reading
Tibet brought forward many great yogis. One of them is Lama Yeshe (1935-1984) of the Tibetan Buddhist Gelugpa school. This small booklet is an example of the great capacity of Lama Yeshe to convey Buddhism to Westerners in an accessible way for both beginners and advanced students. It serves very well as a first reading on the Buddhist way of thought. You will not regret buying this book.

Becoming Vajrasattva, 2nd Edition: The Tantric Path of Purification 3 reviews
Lama Yeshe
Wisdom Publications, 2004
Important and Inspiring Book for Vajrayanists
Although not a household name among American Buddhists, Lama Yeshe should really go down in history as one of the chief teachers responsible for transmitting Buddhism to the West. He managed to find a voice for this ancient tradition of Tibetan Buddhism that makes it accessible, inspiring, and transformational to contemporary Westerners. This is evident in the several excellent volumes that have ...

It is presented in an extremely readable and easy to understand style, thanks in part to both the straightforward writing of Karma Drodul and also the superb skills of Yeshe Gyamtso, who translated this book from Tibetan into English.

The Bliss of Inner Fire: Heart Practice of the Six Yogas of Naropa13 reviews
Lama Yeshe
Wisdom Publications, 1998
A rare and unique source
This book provides a rare and accessible source for material on the Six Yoga's of Naropa, fundamental
to some of the advanced stages of Tibetan Buddhism. Glen Mullin's translation of Tsonghapa's major treatise on this subject is one of the few other sources in English for this material, but is far less accessible to novice readers than Lama Yeshe's account. Given the reticence of most native ...

One of the best books to hook you on buddhism!
Lama Yeshe was, and remains, on of the most important Tibetan teachers who brought buddhism to the west. He had (and has) a unique approach like no other. These are two of his teachings, and are excellent introductions for anyone interested in buddhism, and just great teachings in general. Highly recommended!

great book
This book has the full spectrum of Buddha's teachings from the very basic things to and not to do up to the highest Vajrayana teachings.

Wisdom Energy: Basic Buddhist Teachings8 reviews
Lama Yeshe, Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Wisdom Publications, 2000
Logical Deductions
Be caredul with this book. It can burn your hands! After you buy this book, you will see a picture of Lama Zopa Rinpoche with Lama Yeshe. This is fine. Photographs can be fun to look at. But when you go to the next page, you will see another picture of Lama Zopa Rinpoche with Lama Yeshe. But now Lama Yeshe is a boy. How? This is his new incarnation. Now we must keep an open mind. We ...

Introduction to Tantra : The Transformation of Desire20 reviews
Lama Thubten Yeshe, Jonathan Landaw
Wisdom Publications, 2001
Outstanding introduction to Buddhist Tantra
Lama Yeshe's book is a straightforward, succinct, and engaging overview of the Tantric Buddhist path and its practice. The author's view is that contemporary Westerners are no less suited to this path than the historic Tibetan Buddhist heroes and heroines of the past.
There are two main styles of presenting Dharma. One is `scripture'--a historical text plus commentary by a subsequent teacher ...

Lama Yeshe
Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, 2006
This book contains the teachings and meditations Lama gave at a five-day retreat he led near Melbourne, Australia, which he introduced by saying:
"Whether or not this five-day meditation course becomes beneficial is up to you; it depends on your own mind. Its not a lama thing; Im not going to bring you to enlightenment in this short time. Instead of having too many expectations of the lama, its better that you generate a pure motivation for ...

Becoming Your Own Therapist : Expanded Edition Including Make Your Mind An Ocean1 review
Lama Yeshe
Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, 2003
short but good presentation of Buddhist psychological view
This book combines two previously published works based on two series of lectures in Australia & New Zealand in 1975: 1st in Apr/Jun; 2nd in Mar. Almost all include Q&A sessions; one with psychiatrists is only Q&A. The 1st set is exceptional, addressing Buddhism's psychological nature (p. 5: "From the Lama's point of view, Buddhist teachings are more in the realm of philosophy, science, or ...

The Essence of Tibetan Buddhism
Lama Thubten Yeshe
Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, 2003
"Meditation is not on the level of the object but on that of the subject - you are the business of your meditation.
"Bodhicitta is very practical, I tell you. Its like medicine. The self-cherishing thought is like a nail or a sword in your heart; it always feels uncomfortable. With bodhicitta, from the moment you begin to open, you feel incredibly peaceful and you get tremendous pleasure and inexhaustible energy. Forget about enlightenment - as ...
