The Door to Satisfaction by Lama Zopa Rinpoche

The Door to Satisfaction by Lama Zopa Rinpoche

In Door to Satisfaction Lama Zopa Rinpoche reveals a text he discovered in a cave in the Himalayas that captures the essential point of Buddhist training. Rinpoche says, Only when I read this text did I come to know what the practice of Dharma really means.

Without proper motivation, it does not matter what we do. Whether reciting prayers, meditating, or enduring great hardships, if our actions are devoid of good intention they will not become Dharma practice. Proper motivation transcends our ordinary, ephemeral desires and ultimately seeks the happiness of all living beings. In your life, says Rinpoche, there is nothing to do other than to work for others, to cherish others. There is nothing more important in your life than this.

This powerful, simple message applies to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike--we all have the power to unlock our greatest potential. Open this book and open the door to a timeless path leading to wisdom and joy.

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.
