We desire for ourself that which appears attractive and develop attachment, we feel aversion for that which appears unattractive and develop anger, and we feel indifference towards that which appears neutral and develop ignorance.
Tuning into our highest potential in order to benefit ourself and others is the most meaningful thing we can do with our life. #meditate #WednesdayMotivation #WednesdayWisdom – at Manhattan, NY
"Once we have firm conviction in the law of karma and realize that we always reap the results of our own actions...we will be able to remain inwardly peaceful and calm even in the most adverse circumstances." -@Geshe_Kelsang

Just as there is room in the sky for a thunderstorm, so there is room in the vast space of our mind for a few painful feelings; and just as a storm has no power to destroy the sky, so unpleasant feelings have no power to destroy our mind.

When we are angry with our partner, at that moment he or she appears to us as unattractive or unpleasant. We then exaggerate his bad qualities by focusing only on those aspects that irritate us and ignoring all his good qualities and kindness.

If there’s something you can do to fix a challenging situation, then why get angry? If there’s nothing you can do, then why get angry? Come #meditate Sundays in #WashHeights meditationinnewyork.org/wash… – at Manhattan, NY

'Problem' and 'Opportunity' are both mere names-- we get to choose which name we use. #Dharma #meditate #buddha #emptiness

It is important to remember that Dharma practice is not confined to our activities during meditation; it should permeate our whole life.
Gordon Green retweeted
Pure spiritual teachings, or Dharma, are the only method to control our delusions of attachment, anger and self-grasping ignorance.
