Summary

This wonderfully practical book is a manifestation of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's peerless wisdom realizing emptiness and illuminates the personal experience of this rare and precious teacher. Rinpoche offers an incredible amount of information in this concise title by emphasizing the importance of compassion and universal responsibility, showing how we can make this life meaningful, giving a brief explanation of the nature of the enlightened mind and how we can attain it, offering an amazing and extensive explanation of emptiness, the ultimate nature of reality, by analyzing the way various phenomena exist and finally teaching us how we can successfully meditate on emptiness.

"The most powerful, immediate way to stop problems is to remember emptiness. You should especially remember emptiness when you are in situations where there's a danger of giving rise to strong anger or uncontrolled desire and creating heavy negative karma and causing great harm to others." -Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Enlightening

This selection of messages caused me to reflect upon my life my actions and subsequent outcomes.
I struggled to comprehend some of the teachings but like Quantum Physics sometimes you just have to accept the content from other more learned enlightened souls. A well presented catalogue and very thought provoking. A Favourite to be listened to regularly to better appreciate the message.

Completely lost me

I've listened to many buddhism books, but this one just couldn't hold my attention and got confusing. Narration is good though.
