 Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso The following is an excerpt of a teaching by Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso published in Palyul Clear Light
Afflictive emotions don’t arise anywhere but within yourself. The important practice is to not look outside at the external condition. The moment anything becomes a condition for your afflictive emotions you have to look into your mind. Mostly our five senses are faced outward. We think, “This person said this certain word and it affected me and THAT is why I’m angry.” Our minds always try to blame.
So it is important to look into your own mind. To watch your thoughts is the key point for your practice. If you really want Dharma, this is key. But if you want to just have fun with Dharma then you don’t necessarily have to worry about it, you can just be angry. It’s fine unless you are really thinking, “How can I do real Dharma practice?” Then truly you must work with your mind. There are a few who work with mind. For them the most important thing is to work with their minds and not fall into any afflictive emotions. When you have control over your mind, you don’t necessarily neeed to verbalize something negative. You can practice to govern your speech. This is the gift of mind.
Great thanks to Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso. May His Holiness Penor Rinpoche return swiftly!
Tsawei Lama Kye Ho
