Here’s a really nice teaching from our archives of Geshe Michael teaching in Mongolia in 1999. This was part of a teaching tour that Geshe Michael did before going into 3-year retreat.
This teaching was to a live audience of around 700-800 people, and as you’ll hear, a portion was broadcast live on Mongolian national television to half a million people each night. Geshela gives an intro to the Diamond Cutter Sutra, teaches about emptiness, the 10 non-virtues, how to keep a book, and gives a guided meditation on Tara, The Lady of Liberation.
