This funny and trenchant little volume answers the question of how we can be happy even after the “chocolate” has run out. By cutting the cords of attachment, we discover the indestructible happiness that has always been available to us.

This beautiful little book captures the remarkable personality of Lama, who played an integral role in introducing Tibetan Buddhism to the world. When the Chocolate Runs Out will delight both readers who have known Lama Yeshe for decades and those who have never met this timelessly inspiring spiritual teacher.

This “little book of wisdom” is a perfect companion to How to Be Happy by Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
