In two public lectures in California in July 1983, Lama Yeshe addressed the perils of the First Nuclear Age, exacerbated at that time by the Cold War and Americans' worries over the Soviet nuclear threat. Although the nature of our current concerns is different, Lama's observations and insights are as relevant today as they were when he first made them and we are honored to bring them to you on this DVD.
In the three teachings presented here, recorded at Vajrapani Institute, California, in July and August, 1983—a mere eight months before he passed away—Lama Yeshe explains what the Heruka Vajrasattva tsok offering is and how to do it.

Basing his explanation of emptiness on the Heart Sutra and the emptiness section of Mind Training Like the Rays of the Sun, Geshe-la helps us cut through our inability to see reality and sets us firmly on the path to liberation and enlightenment.
