Eight worldly dharmas--pleasure/pain, gain/loss, praise/blame, fame/shame--things we chase and avoid that complicate our lives. Lama Zopa guides an experiential practice beginning with shamatha (English: tranquility, or calm abiding) and leading into meditative inquiry, an insight practice from the Tibetan that invokes, instills, and integrates prajna, precise knowing.
