Rinpoche began with a quote from Khunu Lama Rinpoche: If you wish to go to the state of omniscience immediately, if you don’t rely on the method bodhichitta, there is no other method. Rinpoche explained that if we don't know how to practice holy Dharma or how to practice lamrim, which is the most important, then there is a great danger we are wasting our whole life, thinking we are practicing the quick path to enlightenment, but then we miss out on the lamrim. Then one’s whole life’s actions become the cause of the lower realms, and don't become holy Dharma. Rinpoche said if you have good heart, then even you get cancer, for you it is great advantage, it reminds us that it came from negative karma created in the past. It reminds us to purify our negative karma, that is the solution. Rinpoche spoke about tonglen - taking all sentient beings suffering and the causes of suffering on the self-cherishing thought. Rinpoche then explained if you want happiness - practice Tonglen. If you want happiness you need merit, that is the answer, then do Tonglen. Each time you do tonglen you become closer to enlightenment. This is the best practice at the time of death so it is important to become familiar with the practice now, everyday.
