Good Karma

How to Create the Causes of Happiness and Avoid the Causes of Suffering

By: Thubten Chodron

Narrated by: Peter Aronson

Why do things happen the way they do in our lives? How do we create the causes for a happy life? The Buddhist practice of mind training gives us the answer to these questions: it involves overcoming our self-centered attitude and replacing it with an attitude that cherishes others. This, in turn, leads us to act in ways that naturally lead away from suffering and toward happiness—in short, to create good karma. Thubten Chodron offers a commentary on one of the great Tibetan Buddhist poems, The Wheel of Sharp Weapons, which shows, clearly and practically, how to eliminate the causes of anxiety, fear, and depression and to create the causes of joyful liberation for oneself and all others.

Good, although.....

This was overall an excellent Dharma book, however, I didn't like the performance of the narrator so much, in how seemingly very non-chalantly conveyed extremely esoteric and pithy Buddhist concepts and teachings it wasn't terrible, but it could have been better in my opinion. Other than that, this audiobook was excellent and I hope I can re-listen to it many times over. Anyone sincerely interested in Buddhadharma and Buddhist concepts and teachings should add this one to their library, this book is most excellent. Thank you Audible. Thank you 🙏🏻🇺🇲.
