In this excerpt from the 39th Kopan Course, Lama Zopa Rinpoche discusses ignorance, the root of samsara.

In this teaching, Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains that instead of ending our life by committing suicide, we can use this precious human rebirth to bring benefit and happiness to ourselves and others.

In this teaching, Lama Zopa Rinpoche advises that the realization of emptiness is the most important goal in our life, so that we can cease suffering and its cause, delusion and karma.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche: Subdue Your Mind

The real enemy is ignorance, the self-cherishing thought, so there’s no reason to get angry with external conditions

When the mind is under the control of disturbing thoughts there is no peace or happiness

Anger, attachment and ignorance are the cause of all our suffering
