The following is from a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
The need for power is born of fear.
The need for hateful speech is born of fear.
There is no good reason for hate.
The reason for arrogance is fear. There is no other reason and it makes fear worse.
Mean speech is ugly and unseemly and also born of fear. It is hurtful to the receiver and deadly to the sender.
Look at your twitter stream. If hateful and full of judgment and making fun at the expense of others, hard life lessons are at your door.
Desire for another’s goods or life is due to fear that you will never accomplish anything meaningful. Only obsession results.
It is possible to have a singularly beautiful life with simply wishing everything good for everyone else- sincerely.
Try to see the Buddha, or Christ in all beings. Then feed and care for them the best you can.
I teach you even if you think meanly about me. Why? Because I love you. I love you. I want you to be happy and well.
