Students of Lama Yeshe Jinpa are frequently asked to give talks about Buddha Dharma from whatever level of realization they have been so far able to achieve. Lama Jinpa has many students who are at a variety of practice and study levels. There should be something for everyone on this page.

All 2020 Audio Recordings
After we closed the temple due to COVID-19 concerns, all Lion’s Roar Dharma Center talks have taken place online using Google Meet. These video talks have been recorded and uploaded to the Lion’s Roar Dharma Center YouTube Channel. The student talks from this channel are added to the Student Video Talks section above.
The first, scrollable list, contains all of the 2020 recordings that have been uploaded to SoundCloud. The list will be updated in the near future to contain only student recordings, but for now all of the audio recordings are in this listing. The oldest recording is first. You can scroll down to the most recent recording. The SoundCloud widget is proving to be a bit difficult for the display of a long playlist. For now, it might (or might not) be easier to listen to the playlist on the Lion’s Roar Dharma Center SoundCloud site: https://soundcloud.com
All 2019 Recordings
The second, scrollable list, contains all of the 2019 recordings that have been uploaded to SoundCloud. For now, it might (or might not) be easier to listen to the playlist on the Lion’s Roar Dharma Center SoundCloud site: https://soundcloud.com
All Recordings Before 2019
The list below includes all public recordings from 2016 -2018 and continues to be displayed in the HTML5 playlist format. The recordings are hosted on this website and have not been edited to include information such as copyright, title, speaker, and publisher, nor have introductions and signoffs yet been added. These recordings are being migrated to SoundCloud and one SoundCloud playlist will appear for each year.
