The project can be described in the following way:
1. The database:
Marpa Foundation has developed a database, where all the information related to registering, digitizing, archiving, reviewing and post-producing these recordings are kept.
Up to this date we have more than 17,000 individual audio or video recordings digitized. Approximately 3,500 audio and video teachings have been reviewed and post-produced. Of these, about 900 video.
2. The MF server:
With the aspiration that as many sentient beings as possible may get a connection to Rinpoche’s wondrous enlightened activity, Marpa Foundation invites you to roam the digital library and take delight in Rinpoche’s profound teachings and blessing.

If you have recordings of Rinpoche teaching, please consider sharing them with others via the library project.
Marpa Foundation would like to assure you, that you do not lose your recordings by doing so. On the contrary, after digitization they will be returned to you alongside a little gift: a digital version of them.
In that way, when you want to listen to them, they are suddenly just a click away!
