How things Exist Teachings on Emptiness by Lama Zope Rinpoche

How things Exist - Teachings on Emptiness by Lama Zope Rinpoche is a collection of five talks given by Lama Zopa Rinpoche in New York in 1990.

The first two talks, given at Columbia University on September 6 and 7, were public talks aimed at a general audience.

In the first talk, Rinpoche focuses on the importance and power of compassion, with special emphasis on how each of us has universal responsibility, responsibility for the peace and happiness not just of the people and animals around us but of all living beings, who are just like us in wanting happiness and not wanting even the slightest suffering.
