If we do not purify our negative karma it will be very difficult for pure minds such as bodhichitta and wisdom realizing emptiness to arise. A mind filled with non-virtuous imprints cannot give rise to pure states of mind because the cause is impure.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

Although we have always sought happiness and contentment, hitherto our actions have resulted largely in suffering and dissatisfaction. This shows that we have been following wrong internal paths.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

If we want to overcome problems and experience happiness, and if we want to meet with success in our spiritual practices, we must purify the negativity in our mental continuum.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

Wisdom guides us to make correct decisions about which internal paths to follow. Without wisdom it is very easy to follow wrong paths. Because of our lack of wisdom, we have been following wrong paths since beginningless time.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

We all have the potential for self-transformation, and a limitless capacity for the growth of good qualities, but to fulfil this potential we need to know what to do at every stage of our spiritual journey.

We should know that at present we have reached the human world for just a brief moment from our former lives, and we have the opportunity to attain the supreme happiness of enlightenment through practicing Dharma. This is our extraordinary good fortune.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

In life after life, since beginningless time, we have put great effort into seeking happiness from external sources, but have nothing to show for it now. Because self-cherishing has deceived us we have wasted countless previous lives.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

Until now we have wasted our countless former lives without any meaning; we have brought nothing with us from our former lives except delusions and suffering.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

Right now we have obtained a human rebirth and have the opportunity to attain enlightenment through Dharma practice, so if we waste this precious opportunity in meaningless activities there is no greater loss and no greater foolishness.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

We have been following incorrect paths since beginningless time but now, through the kindness of Buddha Shakyamuni, we have the opportunity to study a complete presentation of the spiritual paths to liberation and full enlightenment.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

Many people believe that material development is the real meaning of human life, but we can see that no matter how much material development there is in the world it never reduces human suffering and problems.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

Instead of material progress reducing suffering and problems, it often causes suffering and problems to increase; therefore it is not the real meaning of human life.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

The paths of generation stage are extremely beneficial because they lead to the paths of completion stage, and the paths of completion stage lead directly to Buddhahood.

[Geshe Kelsang Gyatso @Geshe_Kelsang]

The fact that we now find it easy to believe in future lives, the law of karma, the existence of Buddhas and so forth, indicates that we have managed to pacify our delusions and wrong views to some degree.
