In three volumes, it explains the whole Buddhist path to enlightenment. Geshe Kelsang begins by explaining why we need to practise Buddha’s teachings – although we want to be happy all the time, we don’t know how to do this and we are continually destroying our happiness by developing negative states of mind (‘delusions’) such as anger, attachment and ignorance. He goes on to show how happiness comes from inner peace, and how a peaceful mind can only be achieved by controlling and finally eliminating our delusions by practising Buddha’s teachings on developing wisdom and compassion.It’s very kind of Geshe Kelsang to allow this book to be made available free of charge considering the wealth of wisdom that is contained within it – read it, practise it, and watch your problems vanish.
