Transform Your Life

Transform Your Life
With Gina and Niko

“When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be happy all the time and to be free from problems, we must develop and maintain a peaceful mind.”
~Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

In this series, we will be exploring How to Transform Your Life: A Blissful Journey by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the founder of our Modern Kadampa Buddhist tradition. This profound book is rich in Buddhist wisdom, offering a foundational understanding of key concepts such as rebirth, death, karma, samsara, love, compassion, emptiness, and the cultivation of bodhichitta. Overarching topics include the Buddhist approach to making our human life meaningful, discovering effective methods to reduce and ultimately cease our experience of problems, and cultivating lasting happiness by developing a peaceful mind.
