Online Audio Recordings
The core of the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive is the collection of audio recordings of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche dating back to 1971. The quality of the recordings varies, but as we prepare the teachings for online publication we will make the audio available on our website whenever possible.
Audio recordings available on our website can be found on our Teachings page. Simply click the box that says "Teachings with audio." Where available, we have also included the unedited transcripts for ease of listening.
All audio recordings are in MP3 format. You can either download the file or listen via "streaming" without having to download the file. If the teaching on our website includes audio, the "Audio" link at the top of the page will launch an audio player that should work for you no matter what kind of computer or device you are using.
If you have questions about any of the above, please email the webmaster. Enjoy!
