Turning Suffering and Happiness Into Enlightenment - Sogyal Rinpoche

Transforming Problems into Happiness - Buddhist Mind Training Course


In this compilation of teachings, Sogyal Rinpoche introduces and essentialises Dodrupchen Jikme Tenpé Nyima's Kyiduk Lamkhyer, or Turning Suffering and Happiness into Enlightenment, 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.

The following material is used in the Rigpa Study and Practice Program, 'The Heart of Compassion - Part One': Turning Suffering and Happiness Into Enlightenment. These teachings are divided by session and follow the root text.

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying - Sogyal Rinpoche

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying - Sogyal Rinpoche
A clear pool of practical wisdom, this rewarding modern reinterpretation of the classic Tibetan Book of the Dead is a manual on learning to accept death, on caring for the dying, and on spiritual growth. Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher who has lived in the West since 1971, maintains that innermost consciousness, rather than an unchanging soul or ego, survives the death of the body. He draws parallels between contemporary Western near-death experiences and the afterlife journey through the bardos, or intermediate planes between death and rebirth, described in sacred Tibetan texts. Bardos, he further argues, are junctures that also occur continually throughout life, opportunities for liberation present in ordinary daily experiences, in sleep and dreams. Rinpoche outlines a path of spiritual transformation that involves meditation, strengthening of positive karma, compassion, generosity and mental exercises.
