Everyone wants to achieve lasting happiness. No one achieves it. Why? Because we do not know what the actual causes of happiness are. This course is based on the book, ‘The New Eight Steps to Happiness,’ by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. These eight ‘steps’ reveal powerful methods for developing loving kindness and compassion, the true source of happiness. In addition, discover how to transform life’s difficulties into spiritual insights, improved relationships, and attaining greater patience.

With the creative power of our own imagination we can assemble causes that will enable us to attain all the necessary spiritual realizations that give rise to everlasting happiness. Without creating such causes there is no hope of such wonderful and extraordinary attainments. Our present human life affords us a special opportunity to seize control of our future. It would be unwise not use it for this purpose. Learn how easy it is to use your imagination correctly, especially in meditation practice.
