Description

This is really psychology, self-help, though from a Tibetan Buddhist mind-training perspective. Sogyal Rinpoche, author of “The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying”, on transforming all of those emotional swings into something solid and useful.Or, the blurb says:Turning Suffering and Happiness Into EnlightenmentA Hundred Instructions in a Single PointIn this compilation of teachings, Sogyal Rinpoche introduces and essentialises Dodrupchen Jikme Tenpo Nyima’s Kyiduk Lamkhyer, or Turning Suffering and Happiness into Enlightenment, a heart-advice that brings together “a hundred different crucial instructions into one single point.”One of the mind’s most marvelous qualities is that it can be transformed. Turning Suffering and Happiness into Enlightenment shows how we can purify our conditioned mind, and gain independence and freedom from it. We effect change within ourselves by working with our attitude. If we can conquer our perceptions, then everything we perceive and everything that appears will be a cause for happiness. A true practitioner sees suffering as something that inspires renunciation and as a joyful opportunity for the purification of negative karma. Such a practitioner would welcome happiness with gratitude, and recognize it as a wonderful opportunity for investing in the positive actions of generosity, discipline, patience, diligence, meditation and wisdom.Files:01 1.1 Introduction.mp3 18.3 MB02 1.2 The Title.mp3 2.4 MB03 1.3 The Homage.mp3 9.3 MB04 2.1 Statement of Intent.mp3 8 MB05 2.2 Relative and Absolute.mp3 12.4 MB06 3.1 How to use Suffering as the Path – 1.mp3 25.1 MB07 4.1 How to use Suffering as the Path – 2.mp3 23.3 MB08 5.1 ‘Cultivate an attitude of being joyful’.mp3 1.7 MB09 5.2 ‘Whatever suffering comes up’.mp3 11.2 MB10 5.3 Training in Renunciation.mp3 5.3 MB11 5.4 Training in Taking Refuge.mp3 5.5 MB12 6.1 Removing Arrogance.mp3 5.7 MB13 6.2 Purifying Harmful and Negative Emotions.mp3 7.2 MB14 6.3 Finding Joy in Positive Actions.mp3 869.3 KB15 6.4 Training in Compassion.mp3 1.3 MB16 6.5 Meditating on Others Being More Dear than Oneself.mp3 2.2 MB17 7.1 ‘It is extremely difficult’.mp3 3.3 MB18 7.2 ‘With this, suffering and difficulties can become’.mp3 6.8 MB19 7.3 ‘In the breaks between sessions’.mp3 3.4 MB20 7.4 ‘When you first begin this training’.mp3 2 MB21 8-a How to Use Happiness as the Path – 1.mp3 16.2 MB22 8-b How to Use Happiness as the Path – 2.mp3 7.7 MB23 9.1 Absolute Truth.mp3 29.3 MB24 10.1 Conclusion.mp3 17.5 MB
