The spiritual path is not concerned with temporary material gain or emotional happiness.

Our goal is lasting satisfaction, which everyone is capable of achieving by attending to the life they are living right now with loving attention and understanding the basics of karma. In this lesson, Gelek Rimpoche explains that negative mind states are always impermanent.

Because they are impermanent, they can be overcome and eliminated. We must learn to identify with the pure and clear mind that is our true nature.
