Transforming Felicity and Adversity into the Spiritual Path
D3S1 - Emptiness, and Transforming Good Fortune
Lama Alan · 92 minutes · recorded January 1, 2022
Dodrupchen teaches adversity by way of ultimate truth in two sentences, which Lama Alan Wallace opens out with the refutation of the four extreme views concerning production. A car never objectively becomes a car, and adversity is adversity when you identify it as such. Turning to felicity, he quotes Padampa Sangye, that people can handle only a little felicity but a lot of adversity, and tells of a yogi who declined cancer treatment. In the closing practice we radiate loving kindness from the heart.
Emptiness Loving kindness (metta)
