Pride
from Jewel Heart Podcast Hosted by https://www.jewelheart.org/
Pride is one of the eight fears from which Tara gives protection. The eight fears are called the “nightmares” of the spiritual practitioner and pride is one of them. The lion symbolizes pride because when anyone crosses or challenges the lion, he roars and is ready to kill with his claws. As humans, because we suffer from pride, we get our feelings hurt all the time, or thinking ourselves superior, we constantly look for faults in others. Rimpoche says, pride makes us look outside ourselves rather than inside, which causes us to avoid and deny our problems. He recommends ways to reduce pride including working to increase our respect for others.
