The Light of Purpose and The Power of Tonglen - Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains how shifting perspective from self to others brings light to your day, peace to your heart and purpose to your life. As an example of serving others, Rinpoche describes the practice of taking and giving, also known as tonglen. Rinpoche illustrates this practice as done by a student who ended up curing themselves during tonglen due to the power of their selfless compassion. This video is an excerpt from teachings given by Lama Zopa Rinpoche during a retreat hosted by Thubten Kunga Ling Center in Boca Raton, Florida in November, 1998.
