If we could be certain that this life will last for a long time we could afford to be carefree and unconcerned, but every day we hear of people dying unexpectedly of heart attacks or strokes, in car crashes, and so forth. Human life is very uncertain.
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Universal Compassion
2,500 Years after the passing of Buddha his message continues to resonate. What are the essential principles of the Buddhist way of life? What does it mean to be a Buddhist? These questions are answered in Introduction to Buddhism by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. In this public talk, Kelsang Rinzin, a disciple of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, will explain clearly meditation as a tool for developing qualities such as inner peace, love and patience.
These teachings come from Buddha's instructions on training the mind, and are especially suited to these modern times.
"So much of the stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind, and many of the problems we experience, including ill health, are caused by or aggravated by this stress."
~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
