Welcome to the Lama Marut Archive

This archive has been created to preserve and share Lama Marut's recorded teachings. It is a growing library of talks and courses, and we will endeavour to upload new material every two weeks.

Lama Marut / Brian K. Smith dedicated his life to translating and teaching texts from the Indo-Tibetan tradition - making them practical, accessible, and relevant to modern life.

This archive's primary aim is to build a library of talks, courses and translations for Lama Marut's students. For others interested in studying the Dharma, welcome - may you find something of benefit.

We'd aim to keep this archive available for no charge - but there are costs involved in its development and maintenance. If you find these teachings valuable, please consider making a one-time, monthly, or annual donation.
