Rinpoche began the teaching by explaining that the way Buddha liberates us is by revealing the ultimate truth. The very essence of Buddhas teachings is the teaching on Prajnaparamita and by actualizing this you become totally liberated. Rinpoche then explained the more you learn, practice and actualize dharma, the more you can help sentient beings. Rinpoche explained that when you have too much desire, but then after some time death comes and what you desire is gone, or your life is gone, then there is so much suffering. It is important to think in this way: that I have received a precious human body, so I must practice satisfaction, I must control my desire and practice contentment to bring happiness in my life and to others. When you are in the situation where you will get angry then you should plan ahead what you are going to do to practice patience. When the situation arises to get angry, think I must use my most precious life to practice patience, don’t use this human life to get angry. By practicing patience, you are brining happiness to the world and that is the purpose of human life. Therefore, you must have courage and inspire yourself to practice patience.
