Dharma is your positive, beneficial thinking. Studying, contemplating and meditating upon the teachings of the Buddha enable you to develop more beneficial thinking patterns. Reducing negative, harmful thinking is the first step to increasing your happiness. Your beneficial thinking assists everyone including yourself, because none of us is an island.

Hazlitt is in the midst of a 19-week, 10,000-mile, 35-city Dharma teaching tour across North America. He has received extensive Dharma training over the past eight years from his root teacher, the Great Perfection of Wisdom Lineage holder, His Eminence Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche, a renowned scholar of the Dzogchen Lineage, an ancient Tibetan wisdom tradition of Buddhism.

In 2008, Khenpo Choga granted Hazlitt the title Upasaka Bodhisattva Pema Bhadra Dorje and Dharma Teacher of the Buddha Path.
