How to Transform Your Life

How to Transform Your Life - Audiobook by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso (Introduction only)

In this busy world, our experiences of happiness are fleeting and short-lived, while inner peace eludes us completely. Our negative states of mind, such as uncontrolled desire and anger, create endless problems for ourselves and others, and prevent us from fulfilling our deepest wishes. Geshe Kelsang begins by presenting Buddha's popular teaching on the Four Noble Truths, which offers a clear and simple solution to all our problems, guiding us to an oasis of peace within our hearts. He then focuses in particular on overcoming the problem of anger, learning how to develop and maintain patience when faced with even the most difficult circumstances.

Meditations for Relaxation (US Edition Sample) 02. Meditation 1 - Inner Peace

An audio recording of Liberating Prayer, a special prayer of praise and request to Buddha Shakyamuni composed by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. 

This prayer is recited by Kadampa Buddhists throughout the world at the beginning of every teaching and meditation session. It can also be used at any time as a stand-alone practice to develop and increase our faith in Buddha. For Buddhists, faith in Buddha Shakyamuni is their spiritual life; it is the root of all Dharma realizations. To develop this faith, from the depths of our heart we strongly think about the meaning of the words while reciting the prayer. Through increasing and maintaining this faith other spiritual realizations will come naturally. This practice is therefore deeply meaningful.
