Jewels of Dharma - The Benefits of Listening to Dharma - Aryasura

This product is part of the Jewels of Dharma series by Tharpa Publications – a set of small folded cards intended to aid with the memorization of particular Kadampa Buddhist texts. They are all excerpts from the books and oral teachings of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

Aryasura's Advice

This card includes a special message from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche that was shared at the beginning of the NKT-IKBU International Spring Festival 2020. Geshe Kelsang explains that his message is based on Stories of Rebirth by Aryasura.

The Importance of Memorizing Dharma

In The Mirror of Dharma with Additions, Venerable Geshe Kelsang says:

When we memorize Dharma books and sadhanas we are storing huge precious jewels of Dharma in the store of our mind. Later, for us, Dharma will come naturally from our mind day and night, even during sleep. This is because the treasury of our mind will be full of the jewels of Dharma, which will never decrease; the more we use them the more they will increase.
