Transforming Problems Into the Dharma Path is written by Ven. Thubten Gyatso. These lectures will teach us how to skillfully transform both difficult and pleasant circumstances into the Dharma Path, making them useful and beneficial to ourselves and others. The entire Path, all of Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings, leads to an understanding of our place in the world, that is, an understanding of how we relate to others. Especially because we have such a strong bond with each other and have known each other in former lifetimes. All other living beings have shown us kindness in a variety of ways, including when they were our parents, spouses and wives, and teachers. They have taken such good care of us. Each person is only a member of the huge universal family.
