Mind & Mental States by Khentrul Lodro Thaye Rinpoche

In 2012, at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa, California, Khentrul Rinpoche gave the following public talk titled Mind & Mental States (interpreted by Paloma Lopez Landry).
Most of the happiness and suffering we experience is
dependent upon a way of thinking. This is a teaching
on how we can change our mind and enhance our
experience by learning about principle mind and the
mental states accompanying it. If we understand our
mind, it is easy to engage constructively towards our
desired goals while disengaging in those mental
patterns that are destructive, preventing us from getting
what we truly wish for.
