Summary

Buddhism is a house full of treasures – practices for gaining the happiness of future lives, the bliss of liberation and the supreme happiness of enlightenment – but knowing the difference between Dharma and non-Dharma practices is the key that opens the door to all those treasures. No matter how much we know about emptiness, the chakras or controlling our vital energy through kundalini yoga, it's all pointless without this crucial understanding of how to practice Dharma, how to correct our actions.

"There are vast numbers of people who delude themselves and waste their entire life studying the most esoteric aspects of Buddhism but never understand the most fundamental point, the distinction between Dharma and non-Dharma. Even if we understand nothing else, if, by recognizing the eight worldly dharmas, we can clearly differentiate between what is Dharma and what is not Dharma, we're very fortunate. This is the essential point." – Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive brings you the collected works of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. The Archive was founded in 1996 by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the Archive’s spiritual director, and works to offer the Dharma in as many ways as possible for the happiness and benefit of all beings.

indispensable

I wish I had heard this years ago. a must for practitioners of all levels, I feel very fortunate to have found this book. calm and concise narration with a few bits of edited patchwork at the end but otherwise excellent.

Illuminating

A book that is explains why we suffer and how to get relief from suffering. I highly recommend for those interested in understanding and maybe even realising Buddha Dharma.

Very interesting for my first insights into dharma

Well written and full of knowledge, has inspired me to continue my dharma practise and to understand what that even means, truly.

Uninspiring - badly written - a waste of time.

I stopped listening after the first 2 chapters. I couldn't listen to anymore hasty, sweeping, faulty generalisations. The number of times I heard words such as "always", "never", "everyone", "no one", "all", "none"... Generalizations and statements unsupported by facts, applying broad claims to individual instances and using one or two examples to form a general conclusion... Sad. Uninspiring. Badly written. A waste of time.
