Four Thoughts For Turning The Mind to Dharma

Thrangu Rinpoche pointed out that the “four thoughts for turning the mind to dharma” are not only the source of happiness, but also the four basic foundations of three-yana practice of Buddhism. They can completely help us changing our minds, pacifying pain and suffering, and attaining truly happiness.

It turns out that the happiness we want is not to be pursued outwardly, but to be explored inwardly to realize our own mind.
