Uniting Words with the Heart
From the video archive this month, watch Lama Zopa Rinpoche demonstrated how to feel the words in one's heart when reciting prayers and setting motivations. This practice advice was given during the 2004 Council for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (CPMT) meeting in the Netherlands, hosted by FPMT's Maitreya Instituut.

The Best Use of Your Life

Ultimate happiness, liberation from samsara, enlightenment, everything, all this happiness — the creator is your mind, not somebody outside. This gives you incredible freedom.
— Lama Zopa Rinpoche
On this month’s podcast, Lama Zopa Rinpoche encourages us to make the best use of our lives by understanding that the mind is the creator of all our happiness and suffering. Through practicing thought transformation, we can discover true freedom. These teachings were given by Rinpoche at the Thirty-third Kopan Meditation Course, held at Kopan Monastery, Nepal, in 2000. You can follow along with the transcript on the website.

Newly released How to Live and Die
The newly released How to Live and Die: The Transformative Power of Meditating on Impermanence presents Rinpoche’s guidance on the essential truth of impermanence—what death is, how to face it, and the mind to cultivate at the time of death. Rinpoche reminds us not to turn away, but to look directly at this reality.
