There is a great deal of emphasis placed on the need for meditation within the context of Buddhist study and practice. However, this practice of meditation may seem unrelated to the cares and concerns of everyday life. This need not be the case. In fact, meditation and our daily activities can be mutually beneficial if we are aware of how to integrate the two. During the sumer of 1980, Geshe Rabten gave a series of talks in then Tharpa Choeling concerning the way in which we can develop a practice utilizing both formal meditation sittings, and everyday activities to evolve a balanced, practical and satisfying lifestyle. Gehse presents in a clear and easily understandable way some of the essential factors involved in this transformation. It was with the intention of preserving the quality of an oral teaching that the translator has retained that format in preparing the text. Brian Grabia (Jelong Jhampa Yeshe) Hamburg 1981

Geshe Rabten was born in Eastern Tibet in 1920, and studied at Sera Monastery in Lhasa, where he recieved his Geshe Larhampa degree. At Sera he was known for the intensity of his practice, and the brilliance of his teachings. When the Chinese invaded Tibet, in 1959, he fled along with HH the Dalai Lama, and went to India, and settled in Dharmsala, in the Himalaya Mountains. In India, he became a tutor of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and in 1974 was asked by His Holiness to come to the West and begin giving Dharma teaching. He founded Tharpa Choeling, in Mt. Pelerin, Switzerland, and gave many teachings to a great number of people interested in Buddhism. Upon his death, the monastery was renamed Rabten Choeling, in honor of Geshe. The monastery is now headed by Gonsar Rinpoche, who was with Geshe since Gonsar was five years old.
