The Secret of the Mind
Categoria do cursoKarma
In this module of Living in the Path, Lama Zopa Rinpoche shows us that mind and karma – rather than external conditions – are the source of all our happiness and suffering. Rinpoche bases this teaching on two verses from the Dhammapada taught by the Buddha as well as the following verse from Shantideva's Engaging in the Bodhisattva's Way of Life:
Any person who doesn’t know
The secret of the mind, the supreme principal of Dharma,
Even if desiring to achieve happiness and destroy suffering,
Will wander [in samsara], meaninglessly.
