Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive offers a LWYA Membership.

By becoming a member, you’ll be playing a key role in bringing the essential teachings of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche to tens—perhaps hundreds—of thousands of people all over the world. During the last millennium, many lam-rim texts were written in Tibet, all based on Atisha’s Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment. In our tradition, the most important extensive lam-rim texts are Lama Tsongkhapa’s Lam-rim Chen-mo and Pabongka Rinpoche’s Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand. Now we have a chance to make a highly significant addition to the genre by working together to prepare and publish the many lam-rim commentaries given since 1971 at Kopan and many other FPMT centers all over the world.

As the thousands of us who have benefited from Rinpoche’s teachings will attest, they are extremely effective and totally relevant to the world today. Publishing them in print and online is the greatest contribution to peace and happiness in the world.

You’ll also be helping us make available Lama Yeshe’s tantric commentaries. Several have already been published—Introduction to Tantra, The Tantric Path of Purification, The Bliss of Inner Fire and Becoming the Compassion Buddha—his Manjushri commentary is almost ready to go and many more await preparation.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche says:
Dharma books plant the seed of the path to enlightenment in the mind of the reader. That imprint ripens, realizations come, and liberation is attained. Books open the wisdom eye; you can understand death and the nature of mind; they teach you how to develop compassion; they bring world peace.

The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive publishes authentic Dharma books. When you read and practice them, you can understand karma, how everything comes from the mind, that the external cause is not the only one. This can lead you to a happy death and a happy rebirth.
