Geshe Kelsang GyatsoBuddha's teachings are scientific methods to solve the problems of all living beings permanently.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoAll objects whether pleasant, unpleasant or neutral, are mere appearances to the mind just like things experienced in a dream
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoWe should realize that our deadliest enemies are anger and other delusions. Since these delusions are deeply ingrained mental habits, working to overcome them is not always easy.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoWhen things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind.
