A new book by Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Available soon!

Please visit us again. Thank you!

Proceeds from all sales go to Liberation Prison Project which for the past twenty-five years have been a lifeline for prisoners, who turned to LPP for Buddhist books and spiritual advice in an effort to find meaning in life when everything else has been lost.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the spiritual director of the project, asked Ven. Robina Courtin, who ran it until 2009, to compile the more than one hundred letters he has written over the years in response to people in prison who’ve contacted him.

This compilation of riveting spiritual advice has been edited into a coherent narrative and covers all points of the path to enlightenment. The book is published by Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive and was sponsored by The Bodhichitta Trust.

Direct and uncompromising, Rinpoche makes it crystal clear that being in prison is a perfect opportunity for practicing the radical approach, beloved by all great Tibetan practitioners, of transforming despair and hopelessness into happiness and liberation.

“Your prison,” Rinpoche tells them, “is nothing in comparison with their inner prison – the prison of of anger, the prison of attachment.”

The extent of the heartfelt compassion and love that Rinpoche offers the prisoners who write to him is incredible. He empowers them to never give up on the development of their potential and their ability to help others.

This advice is not just for prisoners. It is for all of us.

About Liberation Prison Project

Liberation Prison Project offers spiritual advice and teachings, as well as books and materials, to people in prison interested in exploring, studying and practicing Buddhism. Since 1996 the project has responded to the needs of over 20,000 people in prisons around the world.

Over the years, many hundreds of Dharma teachers and students have supported individual prisoners and groups, either as visiting chaplains or by writing to them as Dharma friends, supporting them on their spiritual path.

Liberation Prison Project is a social services program of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition FPMT, a network of more than 160 activities in thirty-eight countries, including Buddhist teaching and retreat centers, monasteries for Buddhist monks and nuns, publishing companies, hospice services, animal liberation groups, and other worthy projects. Each year our spiritual director Lama Zopa Rinpoche responds to letters from many prisoners.

The main offices of the project are in the USA and Australia, and we have programs in various other countries.
