Gen Lekma
During this podcast, Gen Lekma emphasizes the significance of cultivating our good intentions and turning them into firm determinations. In meditation on love we feel positive and happy, but we often lose these feelings outside of meditation. This is usually because we lack mindfulness, which can be traced back to having a weak determination to maintain a loving mind. This extract is taken from a talk given by Gen Kelsang Lekma at KMC Southampton. It is based on the book 
How to Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
