Synopsis:

How to deal with emotions from a Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana point of view. This volume also includes teachings on the nature of mind, the relationship between mind and body, emptiness, compassion, the situation of the individual in the cycle of existence, and karma.

 

Kalu Rinpoche deals with the methods of processing emotions in the Hinayana by rejecting them, in the Mahayana by transforming them, and in the Vajrayana by simply recognizing them. He gives an overview of the entire path including the mechanisms of samsara, the nature of mind, mahamudra, links between body and mind, the elements and aggregates, and Dzogchen."Instead of finding happiness, one encounters many difficulties, dissatisfaction, and suffering. From where do these problems come? They come from conflicting emotions, and more particularly, from the desire attachment which Westerners do not know how to transform or avoid. It seems to me that if emotions lost their influence, countries would be extraordinary places of joy and peace along with prosperity. a Tibetan saying is: An empty stomach thinks only of stealing, a full stomach thinks only of desire. That means that those who have nothing to eat are obsessed by immediate means to obtain food. As for those who are satiated, their minds are tormented by pleasures of the senses. It seems to me that Westerners have their stomachs filled." Kalu Rinpoche.
