Shedra MP3 Library

These teachings are offered in accordance with the Rigpa Shedra’s policy of making the Dharma freely available wherever possible. Please understand that listening to recordings is not a substitute for actually attending classes and receiving instructions directly. Aside from the obvious benefits, such as the ability to clarify points with the teacher and fellow students, live attendance also enables one to receive the oral transmission, upon which the tradition places considerable emphasis.
