Buddha-TV

This section will occasionally put up a new video that we come across on youtube, google, etc.

Speaking of which, here is the first:

Sogyal Rinpoche discusses the essence of Buddhism. He doesn't like the term Buddhism, rather, the Awakening of your Buddha Nature - seems more adequate of a description. Rinpoche practices Vajrayana, Tibetan Buddhism. This form focuses heavily on transforming the body/mind into a tool for enlightenment, both personally and universally.

Buddhism 101 (http://www.hipforums.com/modules.php?name=Videos&file=viewlinkinfo&lid=1058&gid=0) by Lama Surya Das

Excellent intro, to the point and well describing lesson one. Covering the nature of enlightenment and the noble eightfold path.
