About letting go of Self-Pity

"Don't let your lazy and fear minds come up; when it does, battle it by doing what you are afraid of doing." Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

" Stop looking for reasons not to practise. Stop looking for reasons to be unhappy. Where has that gotten you? Surrender! If you do not want to be happy for yourself, then be happy for the people you claim you love. Make them happy by being happy yourself." Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

"When corrected, watch that your mind does not automatically cover the fault. Examine the fault deeply instead. Cultivate great appreciation that someone pointed out the fault at all. The pain you feel when someone brings your faults out in the open is small compared to the suffering you cause others with your faults." Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

How much we put into it is how much we will get back. p53
Compassion Conquers All by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

1) Use your mouth only to bring happiness to other - Tsem Tuku

2) Whether we believe in a next life or in heaven is not as important as how we treat others now - Tsem Tulku

3) To hate and to have hate is not reality because it is based on afflicted emotion. Hatred or anger is not natural, it is not permanent, it is not your real state of mind. And afflicted emotions do not focus on reality or how the object is really existing; it is how we perceive them. - Tsem Tulku
