Creating the Causes of Happiness (Teachings from Kopan, 1991 Book 2)

This is the second volume in a new series of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's teachings given during the 24th Kopan lam-rim course in 1991. The series will consist of four volumes of lightly edited transcripts that we hope will convey the feeling of being in Nepal for the one-month Kopan course. The first volume, Practicing the Unmistaken Path, covers topics such as compassion and universal responsibility, the benefits of developing bodhicitta, the disadvantages of self-cherishing, and emptiness. This second volume, Creating the Causes of Happiness, covers topics such as the nature of the mind, karma, death, reincarnation and emptiness.
