- 156 | Forgive! REPLAY
Continual gratuitous forgiveness. A tall order. And an utterly liberating practice for our heart-mind.
Revisit this classic episode from 2021, still one of the most popular and definitely the single most discussed, to explore a deep and vast practice with the potential to serve as the pivot for life-altering evolution grounded in magnanimity, for oneself and all other beings.

1 hr 2 min - 155 | Good Intentions
Good intentions matter. But how do we know whether our actions actually carry them?
In this episode, Lama Yeshe explores the relationship between intention, action, and consequence. Another person’s response does not define what we meant, yet impact can offer valuable information about how faithfully our actions expressed our intention.
Through Dharma reflection and guided meditation, we examine accountability without blame, consequences without punishment, and the relational climate we create through what we repeatedly think, say, and do.
What do I intend?
What am I doing?
What am I creating?
What can I learn from what happened?FULL MOON SIT is an ongoing series offering Tibetan Buddhist meditation instruction and practice

42 min - 154 | Let Go
Lama Yeshe explores an understanding of letting go through the image of the clenched and open hand.
What happens when the object of our grasp disappears, but the clench remains? And can we learn to release without erasing, rejecting, or loving less?
Through teaching and meditative inquiry, we discover that freedom does not require an empty hand, but an open one.

40 min - 153 | Pivot
Lama Yeshe explores how the pivot between samsara and nirvana offered in every present moment reveals where freedom has room to breathe.
The episode offers a practical framework to apply off the cushion, in everyday life, for working with experience through three deceptively simple words: Things. Poisons. Virtues.

42 min - 150 | Self-love
What is “self-love”?
In contemporary psychology and self-help, self-love is often framed as self-acceptance, self-worth, and meeting our emotional needs with care. These approaches can be deeply supportive—but they may also rest on a limited view of the “self” they are trying to love.
In this episode of Prajna Sparks, we explore a broader, more nuanced perspective drawn from the Mahayana Buddhist tradition.
Rather than asking only how to love ourselves, we begin by asking:
What is this “self” we are loving?
Join Lama Yeshe for an integrated Dharma talk and guided meditation exploring the panoramic view of the "I"

Lama Yeshe guides the practice from somatic vitality into relational warmth, flowing into creativity, sensual charge, and presence, then ending with integration, to open into uncontrived experience.
