Featured Video: Where Do our Problems Come From?

Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong is the Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition. She teaches at National and International Festivals throughout the year. We will be attending her teachings at the US National Festival next year in New York, April 27th through May 2nd, 2012.

The above video teaching is from a commentary on the chapter “What is Karma?” in the book Modern Buddhism, which is being distributed free of charge as an eBook. The author, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, says: “Through reading and practicing the instructions given in this book, people can solve their daily problems and maintain a happy mind all the time.”

So that these benefits may pervade the whole world, the author wishes to offer this eBook freely to everyone. Download it here.
