Transforming Problems Into Happiness: Episode 4

In episode 4 of Book Club with Sarah Sati, Sarah discusses the concepts of adverse conditions and skillful means as they relate to buddhist teachings. She then reads from chapter five, which deals with applying transforming problems to various adverse conditions one is likely to meet with in life. Sarah concludes the teaching portion of the episode with an overview of the paramitas (perfections) and offers practice homework for applying the paramitas to enhance benefits to self and others and minimize adverse conditions.

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.
