My Mother, Donald Trump (Link #591)

from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link · host Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students

Speaker: Bill Roberts. Bill reflects on the importance of relating honestly to the aggression both in our minds and in the external world. As Buddhists we are committed to recognizing our kleshas and to taming our attachments and aversions. The five poisons (aggression, desire, pride, jealousy, and ignorance) are the roots of suffering. However, we should also cultivate bodhicitta and extend our care to others. We cannot turn away from the suffering in the world by dismissing it as "just karma" or "just samsara." We have an obligation to relate to it skillfully, neither ignoring it nor making it our enemy.
