We’re excited to introduce an interactive way to engage with A Gift of Liberation, Thrust into the Palm of Your Hand. This project was created to fulfill a dream that Geshe Michael Roach has often shared—the desire to preserve and pass on the teachings of the Lam Rim for future generations. As he expressed:
“My teacher taught me this Lam Rim for over 25 years. I wanted to pass on this transmission. In Tibet, it’s considered important to pass on the blessing that I received from my teacher when he taught me this. So, I would like to pass on these teachings and then I would like you to pass them on to someone else. My dream is that I will teach you this Lam Rim and then you will pass it on to the next generation. I really hope that you will do that.”
To help fulfill this vision, we have created an interactive way to follow these teachings, preserving both the original Tibetan text and the oral transmission from Geshe Michael. He explained the importance of this preservation in his own words:
“I will be going very slowly through the original Tibetan text. To me, it’s the most beautiful thing in the world. I’m following the original Tibetan text because I want that also to be recorded. I was very fortunate that I met the great Lamas from Tibet when they came out. They’re gone now, but I want to pass that on. I want it recorded for people to come in later generations. I think it’s important for later generations.”
With this in mind, we now offer two ways to explore these precious teachings:
- Line-by-Line Tibetan Interactive Outline – This option presents the original Tibetan text line by line, along with images of the corresponding folios. Each line is linked to the teaching video, so when you click on a line, the video will open and start playing from the exact point where Geshe Michael explains that part of the text.
- English Interactive Outline – This option provides a structured breakdown of all the key ideas presented in each class. Every major topic is listed in order, and you can click on any section to instantly open the YouTube video at the exact moment where that topic is being discussed.
This means that whether you’re following the structured outline in English or studying the Tibetan text, you can jump directly to the part of the video where that topic or passage is being taught—making it easy to connect the text, translation, and oral commentary.
This project is a step toward making Geshe Michael’s vision a reality—ensuring that the transmission he received, and so lovingly passed on, will remain in the world for generations to come. Select an option below to continue this journey and help carry the blessings of these teachings forward.
