Rinpoche has given many, many teachings on overcoming feelings of depression and how to help either ourselves or someone else who is contemplating suicide. The teachings presented here represent the start of a much larger project that will release the complete range of Rinpoche’s advice on overcoming depression.
Rinpoche’s advice on overcoming feelings of depression is based entirely on the practical application of the wisdom found in the teachings of Buddha that focuses on training and taming our minds. Aimed at those already following a spiritual path, Rinpoche’s teachings show that by examining how and why we become depressed, and seeing clearly how misperception, delusion and misunderstanding play a large part in creating all our sufferings, including depression, we can make a slight shift in our outlook on life within a spiritual context by bringing ourselves face to face with who we really are.
Please note that these teachings are intended as a support for those working with their depression in conjunction with the advice and counselling of a qualified health-care professional, not instead of professional help.
