In this episode, Ela Crain brings up a deep topic for discussion. She asks Rinpoche about what kind of actions are beneficial or harmful to us and our loved ones.  Ringu Tulku Rinpoche begins by giving an overview of how our actions are grouped into three areas: body, speech, and mind. He then goes on to explain the first bodily action, which involves doing our best to avoid killing other beings and harming our environment.  Rinpoche also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a good balance and not seeking perfection in our actions. He also explains how being kind-hearted can help us to keep our actions in balance.
