Lama Yeshe Becoming Your Own Therapist (Becoming Your Own Therapist; An Introduction to the Buddhist Way of Thought)

The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive (LYWA) is the collected works of Lama Thubten Yeshe and Kyabje Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche. The Archive was founded in 1996 by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, its spiritual director, to make available in various ways the teachings it contains. This edition of Becoming Your Own Therapist contains three public talks by Lama Yeshe on the general topic of Buddhism. Each lecture is followed by a question and answer session. Lama and his audiences always enjoyed the give and take of these lively exchanges, and pretty much anything went. Although these talks were called lectures, Lama would have each of us use them as a mirror for our minds and look beyond the words, find ourselves, and become our own psychologist. An expanded edition published in 2003 by Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive is also available and includes a second popular talk by Lama Yeshe entitled "Make Your Mind an Ocean."
