Making Wise Choices

09/16/24 • 18 min

In this captivating talk, Gen Zamling invites us to embark on a thought-provoking journey of self-discovery. He challenges us to reflect on the minds we identify with and inspires us to make purposeful and wise choices. By letting go of the self that leads to suffering, we can cultivate a new sense of self rooted in happiness and benefit for ourselves and those around us. This transformative path leads us towards becoming what Buddha referred to as a Bodhisattva—a person dedicated to the welfare of all. The beautiful truth is that each of us possesses the potential to step into this role and make a profound impact in our world. Join us as we explore this empowering journey together! An extract from a teaching given in KMC Chicago based on the book The New Eight Steps to Happiness by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
