About this title

Synopsis

In this commentary Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains the essential daily practice—Method to Transform a Suffering Life into Happiness (Including Enlightenment) with Additional Practices—that he specifically compiled for his students and anyone else wishing to start their day with a bodhichitta motivation and to make their lives highly meaningful for themselves and others. This commentary includes the following practices and mantras together with Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s explanations of their benefits and how to do them.

"The Method to Transform a Suffering Life into Happiness (Including Enlightenment)" is a compilation of an inspiring lamrim prayer by Dorje Chang Lozang Jinpa, two key thought transformation verses, and special verses from Shantideva’s Engaging in a Bodhisattva’s Deeds about how to live your life for others.

"Blessing the Speech According to the Instructions of Great Yogi Khyungpo" involves the recitation of several mantras to make the power of your speech perfect, multiply the power of your mantra recitation by ten million, prevent the power of your speech from being taken away by eating wrong foods, and transform even your gossiping into the recitation of mantra.

"Daily Mantras" include mantras to bless your rosary; to multiply whatever virtuous activity you do by a hundred thousand; to purify anyone who talks to you, hears your voice, and touches your body; to purify heavy negative karmas and consecrate holy objects and rocks, trees, and so forth; and to bring about the fulfillment of all wishes.

"Mantras for Specific Occasions" includes a mantra that multiplies whatever Dharma texts you read millions of times and a mantra to bless your feet, as well as car wheels, so that any sentient beings who die under them are reborn in a deva realm.
