"Having this human body, these enjoyments, wealth, everything, all these appearances are produced by past good karma - basically, the practice of morality, and charity as well."
Review: This book is just wonderful. It provides such a clear, down-to-earth presentation of Buddhist meditation and practice. Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche took the essence of all the Wisdom of the Buddha and put it into a format that is so incredibly accessible to Westerners and is so perfect for putting into practice to transform one's relationships and one's own mind! Incredible!
Editorial Review: In this book, Lama Zopa Rinpoche reveals the essential meaning of an ancient text that he discovered in his retreat cave high in the Himalayas. This text was Opening the Door to Dharma, composed in the fifteenth century by a follower of the Kadampa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Zopa was so moved and enlightened by the text that he declared that only after reading it did he understand the true meaning of practicing dharma. He has based an entire line of thought-training teachings on it and from that brings forth a powerful message in this book.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche literally teaches us how to be happy when we are not, by bringing about the changes in attitude that permit us to live a happy and relaxed life in which external circumstances no longer rule us. In Transforming Problems Into Happiness, Lama Zopa Rinpoche brings his own special flavor or contemporary relevance to a timeless teaching n Buddhist psychology. This volume will be valuable to everyone, whatever their religious of spiritual background
