HH Sakya Trichen Rinpoche gives an introduction to Buddhism is this video.

The Kangyur is the the entire collection of the translated words of the Buddha, into Tibetan. In this 3 part series Dr John Canti, editorial co-director at the 84000 project, provides a very informative overview of the Kangyur: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

In this video the Dalia Lama broadly present The Nature of Mind from a Tibetan Buddhist view. From a general start it moves to understanding / investigating / exploring the nature of mind in the 3 cycles of Buddhist teachings as well as giving an overview of the approaches undertaken by the four main Tibetan Buddhist schools.

In this Youtube video Dujom Rinpoche skilfully ties together many concepts about Buddhist meditation and post meditation.

Also on the topic of meditation, we have these in-depth video teachings from Rabjam Rinpoche based on a text by the "Mipham Rinpoche" . There is a part 1 with an introduction on intention followed by a line-by-line commentary and a part 2 which continues the commentary and is followed by some questions and answers.

For Buddhist meditators the profound teachings under the banner of View, Meditation and Action are also of great value to encounter. Here in 8 sessions Dzongzar Khentse Rinpoche covers this topic in his usual skilful way: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8.
