Transforming Negativity Into Positive Living Transcript

Gehlek Rimpoche, 1994. 2004, half-size format, edition. Detailed Commentary on the Three Principles of the Path: Determination to be free, Altruism and the Perfect View.

"We are wonderful beings, beautiful, pure, wonderful inside. However, when we react to others then that wonderful being cannot really shine out. Something else comes in between, and so, instead of coming out as a wonderful being, we get something funny. That something is the experience of anger, jealousy, doubt, suspicion, fear. That is what we see and encounter when we deal with other persons."

In this transcript, Rimpoche talks about our negative emotions, how to recognize them, in what subtleties they hide themselves, what obstacles to face and how to transform into positivity. He also points out the signs of our buddha-nature awakening.

Rimpoche draws examples of our everyday life, so we cannot but recognise them and also presents a buddhist practice to support the process of transforming.
