Practicing the path that leads to ultimate happiness is not always easy. In fact, it is most often extremely difficult. It is even said that those who practice most sincerely experience the greatest hardships. In this DVD, Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains clearly how to identify true suffering, what is true happiness, and encourages us to embrace the opportunity to bear hardships for the Dharma. After this teaching, don't be surprised to find yourself wishing for suffering!
These teachings were given during a month-long retreat at Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa in Italy, where students were practicing under Rinpoche's guidance for up to 20 hours a day! Viewers should be prepared that also on this DVD are a variety of prayers and practices that were performed during the course of the session.
