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.
Who's your favorite Buddhist teacher on Youtube?
Re: Who's your favorite Buddhist teacher on Youtube?
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:

You asked "Why?"... because of his insights and humor.

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

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.

I agree with thatJohnny Dangerous wrote:Mingyur Rinpoche also has some great videos, I especially like his guided meditations.
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

I like Ajahn Brahm, great sense of humour, he would have made a good stand-up comedian.Luke wrote:Who is your favorite Buddhist teacher who has videos on Youtube?
