Compassion Stops the Suffering

The following is a teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo offered at Kunzang Palyul Choling in Maryland:

Jetsunma takes us to a deeper understanding of the interdependence of the practices of Refuge and Bodhicitta. Leading us through the mental equations that will result in the cessation of suffering, she points out, “The cessation of suffering does not come about when everything external gets alright.” The answer to the question, “How in the world am I going to fix this?” is: you’re not…in the world. We have to move beyond the realm of cyclic existence to get the answer. In a less than perfect world we decide to reach for something perfect that we can’t see yet. Only then can we bring comfort to others.

Theme: Sharing Deep Emotions

There is a nice, easy flow from the heart to the head today. Although feelings are strong and complex, we understand them better, and can talk about them. A challenge to our sense of purpose, and to our goals is looming. We need to examine which habitual behaviors are not serving us, and to respect authority in an appropriate manner. To reduce destructive emotions we need to strengthen constructive emotions. For example, to counter anger we cultivate love and compassion. ~ H H the Dalai Lama
