The Buddhist tradition was the lifeblood of the nation, producing countless holy beings. In the 1950s, everything changed. Chinese armed forces invaded Tibet. The oppression of this peaceful nation continues to this very day. Yet Tibet was not completely destroyed. It is still a place of great mystery and profound spiritual accomplishment. Pilgrims prostrate and make offerings at the remaining holy places, enacting these rituals to purify the body, speech and mind, and to create virtue. There is a lineage of blessings in Tibet that still has immense power to inspire, purify the mind and awaken the compassionate heart.

Spiritual people are those who seek its nature. (Lama Zopa Rinpoche) Video Rating: 4 / 5

Thus, lost in conflict, quarrelling, and hostilities, they attack one another with fists, sticks, or weapons. And thereby they suffer death or deadly pain. And further, due to this craving for sense pleasure, people break into houses, rob, plunder, pillage whole villages, commit highway robbery, and hot-headed seduce the wives of others. Then the rulers have such people caught and inflict on them various forms of punishment. And thereby they mee...
