From March 28-31 2002, Geshe La gave this teaching, called Ripples of Light. It was the long Easter weekend and this teaching is on the 10th chapter of the Bodhisattvacaryavatara - The chapter on dedication.
Since it is the Easter weekend, Geshe La fuses the teachings with the life story of Jesus. This makes this a very special teaching. Very moving...
You can also get the texts for the teachings from here:

CHris from Flazoom posted this link on his site. It's a very moving Flash presentation with background narration by Thich Nhat Hanh. One of the best short stories on war I've read is 'The Stone Boy' by Thich Nhat Hanh. It is a beautiful story, read it if you get a chance.
Just cam across this wonderful site, that has lots of information on Buddhits deities and symbolisms. Great place to spend some time (a lot of it, in fact.) 'Khandro' by the way is Tibetan for 'Dakini' or 'Space Travelers'.

Well-nourished and unafflicted,
Life is momentary and deceptive;
The body is like an object on loan for but a minute."

"There is nothing here that has not been said before
And I have no skill in the art of rhetoric;
Therefore, lacking any intention to benefit others,
I write this in order to acquaint it to my mind."

I just started reading this great book from the start. Earlier I had gone through the patience chapter as I felt at that time it would be of most benefit to me. It was such an inspiration. If you haven't you should get a copy for yourself. There is beautiful edition published by the LTWA that can be bought from the Paljor Publications' site.
These are some of the sites that I visit often and have gained a lot from them:
