{"product_id":"how-karma-works-geshe-sonam-rinchen-9781559392549","title":"How Karma Works: The Twelve Links of Dependent-Arising","description":"We all want to find happiness and be free from suffering. Happiness comes from positive mental states and actions, and suffering from the opposite. The twelve-part process of dependent arising shows how actions underlain by ignorance propel us from one rebirth into another, keeping us trapped in suffering, and how through understanding reality correctly we can break this cycle. The four noble truths, the twelve links of dependent arising, and the two truths regarding conventional and ultimate reality, all interrelated, form the very core of the Buddha's teaching. The many different practices of sutra and tantra become meaningful and purposeful only when they are based on a good understanding of these fundamental and seminal principles. This oral teaching by Geshe Sonam Rinchen is based on the Rice Seedling Sutra and the twenty-sixth chapter of Nagarjuna's \u003ci\u003eTreatise on the Middle Way\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geshe Sonam Rinchen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1559392541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781559392549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snow Lion Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 8.34w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 23","brand":"Geshe Sonam Rinchen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159424626943,"sku":"9781559392549","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_344d8e91-6fbb-4cfe-a3d6-037c533fa4c7.jpg?v=1689082524","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-karma-works-geshe-sonam-rinchen-9781559392549","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
