Transforming Problems Into Happiness: Episode 3

In episode 3 of Book Club with Sarah Sati, Sarah addresses the homework from the previous session and provides a brief recap and motivation-setting practice before diverging slightly from the reading to offer insight into a crucial point in Buddhist teachings; emptiness. She then reads from Chapter 4, which deals with attachment and aversion. As usual, there is a short practice and homework offered between sessions.

Book Club is an opportunity to take a Buddhist text and explore it deeply from a more modern perspective. The second book in the Book Club Series is Transforming Problems into Happiness by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. It is not necessary to own the book to enjoy these sessions, which combine reading, explanation, and opportunities for direct experience to the listener.

💖this is great, i love this book club, thank you💖

Thank you so much for offering this…I love it when key ideas are repeated in these talks
Repetition helps retention of the material

It was interesting. But I'm left asking questions, as I always am with any teachings about the Buddhist principle of ending the cycle of desire. If we stop desiring anything, won't we stop wanting to live? Don't we need desires to motivate us? 🙏🏼 ❤️‍🩹🕊️🕊️🙏🏼🕊️🕊️
