Distractions often go unnoticed, yet they pose a significant barrier to our peace of mind, happiness, and spiritual growth.

In this podcast we explore the topic of love and how training in pure love, that is free from attachment, helps our mind to be more balanced and free from over emotional reactions, which are often painful and exhausting. Pure love is calm and peaceful and with it everything works - we feel happy, we make others happy and our relationships improve. This is an extract from a teaching with Gen Lekma at KMC Southampton.

In this podcast, Gen Rigpa takes a lighthearted look at the profound meditations on "taking and giving." Through deep familiarity with these meditations our mind will eventually transform from a self-centered and painful state into the compassionate, blissful and altruistic mind of a bodhisattva - a being bound for enlightenment. This is an extract from a teaching given at KMC Los Angeles and based on the book The New Eight Steps to Happiness by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

The best solution to our daily problems is to learn to cherish others. There is no valid reason for thinking we are more important than others, in this podcast Gen-la looks at why we have resistance to letting go of this view.
