Perfect Emotion

11/29/2012

0 Comments

 
"At the moment, when we are happy ourselves we feel that that is enough, and if other people are unhappy it is not our problem. When we are unhappy, we just want to get rid of whatever we find unpleasant as soon as possible - we neither remember or care that others might be unhappy too. This is all delusion. Instead, put others in your place, and put yourself in their place. This is called 'exchanging yourself with others'.

Even if for  the moment we cannot actually help anyone in an external way, we should meditate on love and compassion constantly over the months and years until compassion is knit inseparably into the very fabric of our mind"

 Dilgo Khyentse Rimpoche

What is the perfect emotion and how do we work towards the high ideals set out by Dilgo Khyentse. At the class tonight we will be exploring the practice of upekkha, or equanimity
