Listen "Tonglen Is the Main Practice - Teaching #137"
Episode Synopsis
Lama Zopa Rinpoche continued his video teachings on thought transformation from Amitabha Buddhist Centre, Singapore in August and September, 2022. Here is a summary of the most recent teaching recorded on September 14, 2022:By not harming others, we are creating the cause for peace in the future, Rinpoche explains. If we fight those who harm us in this life, it creates the cause to fight them again in future lives. This can go on for eons with no peace. Those who win create the cause to lose in the future, and those who lose create the case to win in the future. This is repeated on and on endlessly, a cycle of negative karma and no harmony. If we follow the path of not harming, not fighting, this is the way to create peace in the future. Rinpoche leads a tonglen meditation starting at 2:35:27 in the teaching.Rinpoche also offered the Refuge ceremony and some advice regarding taking refuge, starting at 49:56 in the teaching.
