Transforming Problems into Happiness by Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Happiness and suffering are dependent upon your mind, upon your interpretation. They do not come from outside, from others. All of your happiness and all of your suffering are created by you, by your own mind, says Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Commenting on an early-twentieth-century Tibetan text of instructions and practical advice for everyday spiritual living, Lama Zopa Rinpoche teaches us how to be happy during hard times by adopting skillful attitudes--ways of interpreting reality that can permit us to live a joyful and relaxed life regardless of circumstance. In Transforming Problems Into Happiness, Lama Zopa Rinpoche brings his own special flavor and contemporary relevance to a timeless teaching on Buddhist psychology. This volume will be valuable to all, no matter the spiritual background of the reader or the kind of problems that have led them to ask that ageless question: How can I achieve happiness? This new edition includes a translation of the root text, Dodrupchen Rinpoche's (1865-1926) Instructions on Turning Happiness and Suffering into the Path of Enlightenment, translated by Tulku Thundop.Lama Thubten Yeshe (1935-1984) was born in Tibet and received his education at the prestigious Sera Monastic University. He left Chinese tyranny in 1959 and began teaching Buddhism to Westerners at their Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal, in the late 1960s with his principal disciple, Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche. They formed the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) in 1975, an international Buddhist organization with over 160 centers, programs, and services around the world.
