Description: H.H. the Dalai Lama discusses how our essential human nature is compassionate and affectionate, and how when this is combined with our intellect, this balance can contribute to happier human life and better world for all beings. He then suggest that transformation is achieved by increasing our good qualities and decreasing our negative qualities. The fact that we all have Buddha nature is an inspiration for us to follow the path of liberation and try to realize this for ourselves. This program continues with an explanation of the Four Factors of Perfection from both long and short term perspectives. His Holiness continues by explaining how our body endlessly causes us suffering through sickness, pain, old age and death. Our worldly concerns with attaining wealth and having friends only provide limited satisfaction; only developing our motivation to follow the spiritual path can really help us find contentment and live our lives well. -- from publisher
