The celebration of Christmas focuses on our longing for peace and deepest expression of love. Taking as his major focus the ways in which we customarily celebrate Christmas, Lama Yeshe exposes the foibles of our secular age and shows how we can surmount them.

In this teaching, Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains that instead of ending our life by committing suicide, we can use this precious human rebirth to bring benefit and happiness to ourselves and others.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains the essence of spiritual practice in this teaching excerpted from the 33rd Kopan Meditation Course.

Compassion as the core value of all the world's religions

This teaching came from Silent Mind, Holy Mind, a collection of talks given by Lama Yeshe at Kopan Monastery at the end of one of the month-long Kopan meditation courses.
