Dear Lama Zopa Rinpoche:
Answers to life's problems from a Buddhist master
|
Welcome to the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive online book of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's advice on a wide range of topics in the form of short talks and letters.
A selection of these advices was published by Wisdom Publications under the title Dear Lama Zopa. You can see their website to order a copy.
We expect this online book to be a never-ending work in progress. New files will be compiled, edited and added here each month. Our special thanks to Ven. Holly Ansett and Michelle Bernard for their work in compiling and editing these advices.
You can browse through sections and topics using the Category tab above. You can also use the Table of Contents below.
We've done our best to categorize the various advices given by Rinpoche but since they often relate to more than one topic you can use the tags and search function to try to find what you are looking for.
Please Note: Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave these pieces of advice to specific individuals for specific situations. We encourage you to consult a qualified lama before applying them. We don’t guarantee that these practices will help you in your specific case and can’t be held responsible if they cause harm or do not bring the result you expect. They are provided for informational purposes only; apply them at your own discretion.
Nevertheless, Rinpoche has suggested that we make these available to give a general idea of how we can help others. Also, sometimes people are in distress from, for example, spirit harm, and don’t have a lama to whom they can turn, and experience has shown that when some have employed Rinpoche's advice, it has helped. Rinpoche has said that sometimes people see a piece of advice and have a strong feeling to try it and that this is the Buddha’s action guiding the person toward the correct method to help them.
You are also encouraged to visit the Lama Zopa Rinpoche Advice page on the FPMT website, which is updated regularly with advice on a variety of topics and practices.
We welcome your feedback. Please email the webmaster with your comments and suggestions. Thank you so much.
