Advice for Separation

Date Posted:
October 2012

A student who was married with five children had been struggling to make ends meet and the financial hardship, along with other factors, led to relationship problems. His wife now wished to separate. He wrote to Rinpoche requesting advice for his spiritual practice.

My very dear one,
I think it’s very good if you can read carefully and contemplate my book Transforming Problems into Happiness, using it for your present situation. This is what can bring you to enlightenment and also to benefit all the suffering sentient beings of the six realms.

The main point is to be free from clinging. Your wife has been extremely kind to you, to help you in this way.

With much love and prayers...
