All wisdom paves the way to happiness, but the highest wisdom—the wisdom of non-ignorance, or the wisdom that realizes ultimate truth—holds the key to lasting peace. This profound understanding of emptiness removes suffering at its root, offering us freedom from all pain. Gen-la Dekyong beautifully introduces this transformative wisdom through three powerful analogies given by Buddha. These analogies help us to see how things may seem to exist in one way, but in truth, they exist in a much deeper, more profound way than we initially realize. The podcast is an extract from a talk based on the book How to Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. It is available as a free ebook download and is available in 11 languages.
