Being Honest (Link #547)
from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link · host Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students
Speaker: Maki Okabayashi. Maki explores how honesty arises from the willingness to reflect on our intentions, perspectives and attitudes. Being honest involves more than simply not cheating, holding back from, lying to, or manipulating other people; it also involves recognizing how the ego diminishes our ability to see the truth. Led by the ego's self-protecting desire to avoid discomfort, our view solidifies, contracting our ability to respond with flexible, open-minded objectivity. To overcome the resistance of ego we should summon both the courage to reflect deeply on the benefits of honesty, and the determination to cultivate flexibility and open-mindedness.
