    TRANSFORMING A SUFFERING LIFE INTO HAPPINESS

    LP logo

    My wish is that all of you do this most important practice for generating a Dharma motivation, and especially a bodhichitta motivation, when you open your eyes in the morning. As soon as you wake up, whether your sleep has been positive or negative, you should begin this practice.   (Lama Zopa Rinpoche)


    In this module of Living in the Path, you will find commentaries on the three practices Lama Zopa Rinpoche would like his students to do at the beginning of every day:

    • The Method to Transform a Suffering Life into Happiness (Including Enlightenment): specifically compiled by Lama Zopa Rinpoche as a way for his students to develop a bodhichitta motivation at the beginning of the day. Rinpoche has given a new title to this text, How to Make My Lives Wish-Fulfilling.
    • Blessing the Speech: to increase the power of speech and prevent its power from being taken away by idle talk and black foods
    • Daily Mantras and Mantras for Specific Occasions: the recitation of various mantras for specific purposes

    The commentaries have been compiled from various teachings.
    Updated with revised practice text and commentaries, March 2018.
