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.  aReligion and Spirituality.vxyz2 0aHappinessxReligious aspectsxBuddhism. 0aReligious lifexBuddhism. 0aSufferingxReligious aspectsxBuddhism.
