Who's your favorite Buddhist teacher on Youtube?

Post by Luke »

Who is your favorite Buddhist teacher who has videos on Youtube?
Why is he or she your favorite?

I used to really like the videos of one Buddhist teacher who may not be named on this forum, but I am looking for some others.

The Venerable Thubten Chodron is very good. The Sravasti Abbey youtube channel has lots of stuff from her.

One of my favorite on youtube is Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, for example:

This.

Also, the inimitable Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, see e.g. https://vimeo.com/channels/142872
(I'm assuming Vimeo is acceptable.)

Why? Because reasons. :smile:

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is someone whose youtube videos I often watch.
Why: explanations of Dzogchen that don't read like particle physics, also he just gives off some good mojo for me.

Mingyur Rinpoche also has some great videos, I especially like his guided meditations.

There are lots of other I could name but Youtube videos are a specific medium IMO, and these two stand out for me in that medium.
Meditate upon Bodhicitta when afflicted by disease

Meditate upon Bodhicitta when sad

Meditate upon Bodhicitta when suffering occurs

Meditate upon Bodhicitta when you are scared

I agree with that :twothumbsup:

Venerable Robina Courtin, has just gave some teachings at institut vajra yogini recently (See them all here http://institutvajrayogini.fr/AVrobina_6en.php)
And check out the FPMT Channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClUMK5 ... Aq2CDkM26w], these link to their online courses (http://onlinelearning.fpmt.org), I greatly suggest them.

Sorry about the long links I have forgot all of my HTML :namaste:

I like Ajahn Brahm, great sense of humour, he would have made a good stand-up comedian. ;)
