It is with great pleasure that we bring to you a new Podcast called Karmapa - Selected Talks and Teachings. We're launching with the wonderful talk that His Holiness gave at Stanford University while visiting the USA in 2015.

Why a new podcast?

The Karmapa and the Kagyu Office use many new media such as live webcasts and social networking to make Karmapa's teachings more accessible. This new podcast was created especially for those busy students around the world that would like to listen to His Holiness's Dharma teachings but often struggle to find the time. Now you will be able to listen to a selection of Buddhist talks on your iPhone as you go about your work or home life.

How do I listen to each episode?

The best way to access this podcast is to get the Podcasts app on your iPhone or iPad and then subscribe to the podcast. This way you will be automatically notified on your phone when a new episode is released and available for download. We will aim to release a new episode at regular intervals.

You can also download the episode right here.

Within the stream of daily life, it can be difficult to find a source of genuine wisdom and practical guidance. Selected Talks on Buddhism and Meditation by the Karmapa offers just that-a curated collection of teachings from His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa, who leads the Karma Kagyu lineage and serves as a spiritual guide for countless people worldwide. Each episode presents a stand-alone talk, carefully chosen to address the complexities of modern existence through the lens of ancient Buddhist philosophy. You’ll hear explorations that go beyond theory, touching on how meditation practice can transform our relationship with stress, anxiety, and the pace of contemporary life. The discussions often extend into our responsibility toward the environment and the cultivation of a resilient, compassionate happiness. This podcast doesn’t offer quick fixes, but rather invites deep listening and reflection. By presenting these selected talks directly, the series makes the Karmapa’s accessible insights on mindfulness, ethics, and inner development available to anyone, anywhere. Whether you are new to these concepts or have a long-standing practice, each session provides substance to ponder and integrate. Tuning in feels less like consuming content and more like receiving a thoughtful, personal teaching, creating space for clarity and calm amid the noise.
