An expanded commentary on Dharmarakshita’s The Wheel of Sharp Weapons given at Sravasti Abbey from 2004-2006.
- The faults of our self-centered attitude and self-grasping ignorance
- These faults are due to our own misconception mind
- The fault of not admitting our afflictions or our negative emotions to other people, or even to ourselves
- The importance of becoming a little bit more honest with ourselves, not projecting our faults onto other people
- Looking honestly at our conflicts with other people
- Keeping precepts
- Having a broad view that is seeking the happiness of all living beings for all of infinity
