"I am convinced there is no way to peace. Peace is the way."
— A. J. Muste
Let's get real.
We all want peace and happiness.
But it's getting pretty wild out there in the world.
Therefore, we need to logically examine the causes of happiness
in order to experience true peace.
First: Identify the difficulties
Step 1: acknowledge problems exist.
Health
Relationships
Work
Ecological Degeneration
Social Disharmony

Second: understand these difficulties
come from the way we think
We believe challenges "out there” are the reasons we don't feel peace. We blame external circumstances.
In truth, these challenges are the OUTCOMES. They are not the causes.
The causes originate inside the mind.

Third: GET TO KNOW HAPPINESS
Human consciousness:
is the most essential element for peace in ourselves, peace between communities,
and an environment that is flourishing.
You can contribute to lasting, positive change in the world through working with your mind.
We know the journey to understanding and training the mind can be daunting to pursue alone and identifying qualified teachers is not easy.
Here at Lama Dorje Foundation, you have the opportunity to connect with Tibetan masters committed to guiding you to train your mind and open your heart.
The key is to get started and connect with others also on the path.
To help you along your journey, we provide self-paced educational and meditation resources, offer live trainings with Drupon Lama Dorje, and host retreats where you can deepen your practice. You can also find a sangha near you to stay connected in community.
