Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else

We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else

Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo

From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo

Problems like ice-creamldquohellipapplying the idea of joy to these experiencesrdquo
Array of Stalks SutraldquoDaughter in order to destroy all afflictions you should develop a mind that is hard to defeatrdquo
Everyone in the world has problems
I should take it on and stay calm with the powerful mind of patience

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else

Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo

ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and

The 10 Non-Virtuous ActionsBody Killing Stealing Sexual MisconductSpeech Lying Divisive Speech Harsh Speech Idle SpeechMind Covetousness Ill Will Wrong Views
BASIS OBJECT ATTITUDE (perception affliction motivation) amp COMPLETION
Harmful Intent (Malice Ill Will)

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds62 There is no negativity like hatredAnd no fortitude like patienceTherefore earnestly cultivate Patience in a variety of ways
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo
ldquoIf it is adventitious it is also wrong to be angryhelliprdquo
ldquoThis is not the case as it is the person who harms me so it is correct to be angry with this personrdquo
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo
Who to blame

ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo

The 10 Non-Virtuous ActionsBody Killing Stealing Sexual MisconductSpeech Lying Divisive Speech Harsh Speech Idle SpeechMind Covetousness Ill Will Wrong Views
BASIS OBJECT ATTITUDE (perception affliction motivation) amp COMPLETION
Harmful Intent (Malice Ill Will)
1)Ripened result rebirth in one of the three lower realms 2)Results similar to the cause
a) Experiences similar to the cause you will be a person who easily becomes frightened and panicky
b)Actions similar to the cause having the tendency to hurt others your anger and hatred increases

Destroys fully ripened result
Destroys results similarto the cause
Delays positive results or lessens a positive result
Destroys from the root = never gives a result even if it meets the conditions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds63 My mind will not experience peaceIf it holds painful thoughts of hatredI shall find no joy or happinessUnable to sleep I shall feel unsettled
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquohellipwhen such intense anger and hatred arise it makes the best part of our brain which is the ability to judge between right and wrong and assess long-term and short-term consequences become totally inoperablerdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds64 Even those who depend on a masterWho cares for them with wealth and servicesWill overcome and killA master who gets angry
65ab By it friends and relatives are disheartenedThough he gathers people with gifts they will not serve him
Garland of Birth StoriesWhen your complexion is spoiled by the fire of anger You cannot look good though adorned with jewelleryYou may sleep on a good bed butYour mind suffers the sharp pains of anger

ldquoYou always hurt the one you loverdquowords by Allan Roberts and music by Doris Fisher

Khen Rinpoche Lobsang JamphelldquoIt is not possible for anger to become happinessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds62 There is no negativity like hatredAnd no fortitude like patienceTherefore earnestly cultivate Patience in a variety of ways
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo
ldquoIf it is adventitious it is also wrong to be angryhelliprdquo
ldquoThis is not the case as it is the person who harms me so it is correct to be angry with this personrdquo
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo
Who to blame

Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo

Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds63 My mind will not experience peaceIf it holds painful thoughts of hatredI shall find no joy or happinessUnable to sleep I shall feel unsettled
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquohellipwhen such intense anger and hatred arise it makes the best part of our brain which is the ability to judge between right and wrong and assess long-term and short-term consequences become totally inoperablerdquo

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers

How to cultivate patience1) The benefits of patience2) The drawbacks of anger
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds61 Whatever wholesome deedsSuch as generosity and making offerings to the sugatasHave been amassed over thousands of eonsWill all be destroyed by anger
The 10 Non-Virtuous ActionsBody Killing Stealing Sexual MisconductSpeech Lying Divisive Speech Harsh Speech Idle SpeechMind Covetousness Ill Will Wrong Views
BASIS OBJECT ATTITUDE (perception affliction motivation) amp COMPLETION
Harmful Intent (Malice Ill Will)
1)Ripened result rebirth in one of the three lower realms 2)Results similar to the cause
a) Experiences similar to the cause you will be a person who easily becomes frightened and panicky
b)Actions similar to the cause having the tendency to hurt others your anger and hatred increases
3)Environmental results having to live in a violent place where there is war and contagious diseases
Destroys fully ripened result
Destroys results similarto the cause
Delays positive results or lessens a positive result
Destroys from the root = never gives a result even if it meets the conditions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds63 My mind will not experience peaceIf it holds painful thoughts of hatredI shall find no joy or happinessUnable to sleep I shall feel unsettled
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquohellipwhen such intense anger and hatred arise it makes the best part of our brain which is the ability to judge between right and wrong and assess long-term and short-term consequences become totally inoperablerdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds64 Even those who depend on a masterWho cares for them with wealth and servicesWill overcome and killA master who gets angry
65ab By it friends and relatives are disheartenedThough he gathers people with gifts they will not serve him
Garland of Birth StoriesWhen your complexion is spoiled by the fire of anger You cannot look good though adorned with jewelleryYou may sleep on a good bed butYour mind suffers the sharp pains of anger
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds
65cd In brief no angry person is happy
ldquoYou always hurt the one you loverdquowords by Allan Roberts and music by Doris Fisher
You always hurt the one you love The one you shouldnt hurt at all You always take the sweetest rose And crush it till the petals fall
Khen Rinpoche Lobsang JamphelldquoIt is not possible for anger to become happinessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds62 There is no negativity like hatredAnd no fortitude like patienceTherefore earnestly cultivate Patience in a variety of ways
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds635 If when under the influence of the afflictionsPeople will even kill their treasured selvesHow can they not cause harmTo the bodies of others

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo
ldquoIf it is adventitious it is also wrong to be angryhelliprdquo
ldquoThis is not the case as it is the person who harms me so it is correct to be angry with this personrdquo
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo
Who to blame
Pollution SkyFactories
Gun Person Affliction

Definite EmergenceldquoIf we think the house we are living in is a squalid claustrophobic hovel we will not want to carry on living in it and we will want to move elsewhererdquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 174
From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo

Think ldquoI know that in the past while passing through cyclic existence I suffered for the sake of trifling desires and minor needs yet I disregarded the many sufferingshelliprdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds675 But now since great purpose will be establishedFrom harm which is not as muchI should solely be joyfulTowards such suffering that dispels the harms of all beings

The 10 Non-Virtuous ActionsBody Killing Stealing Sexual MisconductSpeech Lying Divisive Speech Harsh Speech Idle SpeechMind Covetousness Ill Will Wrong Views
BASIS OBJECT ATTITUDE (perception affliction motivation) amp COMPLETION
Harmful Intent (Malice Ill Will)
1)Ripened result rebirth in one of the three lower realms 2)Results similar to the cause
a) Experiences similar to the cause you will be a person who easily becomes frightened and panicky
b)Actions similar to the cause having the tendency to hurt others your anger and hatred increases
3)Environmental results having to live in a violent place where there is war and contagious diseases
Destroys fully ripened result
Destroys results similarto the cause
Delays positive results or lessens a positive result
Destroys from the root = never gives a result even if it meets the conditions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds63 My mind will not experience peaceIf it holds painful thoughts of hatredI shall find no joy or happinessUnable to sleep I shall feel unsettled
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquohellipwhen such intense anger and hatred arise it makes the best part of our brain which is the ability to judge between right and wrong and assess long-term and short-term consequences become totally inoperablerdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds64 Even those who depend on a masterWho cares for them with wealth and servicesWill overcome and killA master who gets angry
65ab By it friends and relatives are disheartenedThough he gathers people with gifts they will not serve him
Garland of Birth StoriesWhen your complexion is spoiled by the fire of anger You cannot look good though adorned with jewelleryYou may sleep on a good bed butYour mind suffers the sharp pains of anger
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds
65cd In brief no angry person is happy
ldquoYou always hurt the one you loverdquowords by Allan Roberts and music by Doris Fisher
You always hurt the one you love The one you shouldnt hurt at all You always take the sweetest rose And crush it till the petals fall
Khen Rinpoche Lobsang JamphelldquoIt is not possible for anger to become happinessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds62 There is no negativity like hatredAnd no fortitude like patienceTherefore earnestly cultivate Patience in a variety of ways
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds63 My mind will not experience peaceIf it holds painful thoughts of hatredI shall find no joy or happinessUnable to sleep I shall feel unsettled
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquohellipwhen such intense anger and hatred arise it makes the best part of our brain which is the ability to judge between right and wrong and assess long-term and short-term consequences become totally inoperablerdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds64 Even those who depend on a masterWho cares for them with wealth and servicesWill overcome and killA master who gets angry

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else

We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo

occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds610 Why be unhappy about something If it can be remediedAnd what is the use of being unhappy about somethingIf it cannot be remedied
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds69 Whatever befalls meI shall not disturb my mental joyHaving been made unhappy I shall not accomplish what I wish forAnd my virtues will decline
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquoMental joy refers to a state of calmness and stabilityhellipby being unhappy and discontented one will not be able to accomplish what one wishes So in a way being unhappy is quite pointlessrdquo

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Without suffering there is no definite emergenceTherefore mind you should stay firm
Definite EmergenceldquoIf we think the house we are living in is a squalid claustrophobic hovel we will not want to carry on living in it and we will want to move elsewhererdquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 174
From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 175
Think ldquoI know that in the past while passing through cyclic existence I suffered for the sake of trifling desires and minor needs yet I disregarded the many sufferingshelliprdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds675 But now since great purpose will be establishedFrom harm which is not as muchI should solely be joyfulTowards such suffering that dispels the harms of all beings
Hardship ndash for more sufferingHardship ndash for an end to suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds672 Is it not excellent if a man condemned to deathIs released after having his hand cut offIs it not excellent if I am spared from hellBy way of human suffering

gradually grow accustomed to it starting with the small
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds614 There is nothing whatsoeverThat does not become easier through habituationSo by becoming used to small harmsYou will bear great harms as well
Problems like ice-creamldquohellipapplying the idea of joy to these experiencesrdquo
Array of Stalks SutraldquoDaughter in order to destroy all afflictions you should develop a mind that is hard to defeatrdquo
Everyone in the world has problems
I should take it on and stay calm with the powerful mind of patience
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds617 Some seeing their own bloodBecome especially brave and steadyBut some when they see the blood of othersFall unconscious
618abThese come from the minds fortitudeOr from its timidity
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds63 My mind will not experience peaceIf it holds painful thoughts of hatredI shall find no joy or happinessUnable to sleep I shall feel unsettled
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquohellipwhen such intense anger and hatred arise it makes the best part of our brain which is the ability to judge between right and wrong and assess long-term and short-term consequences become totally inoperablerdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds64 Even those who depend on a masterWho cares for them with wealth and servicesWill overcome and killA master who gets angry
65ab By it friends and relatives are disheartenedThough he gathers people with gifts they will not serve him
Garland of Birth StoriesWhen your complexion is spoiled by the fire of anger You cannot look good though adorned with jewelleryYou may sleep on a good bed butYour mind suffers the sharp pains of anger
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds
65cd In brief no angry person is happy
ldquoYou always hurt the one you loverdquowords by Allan Roberts and music by Doris Fisher
You always hurt the one you love The one you shouldnt hurt at all You always take the sweetest rose And crush it till the petals fall
Khen Rinpoche Lobsang JamphelldquoIt is not possible for anger to become happinessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds62 There is no negativity like hatredAnd no fortitude like patienceTherefore earnestly cultivate Patience in a variety of ways
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds635 If when under the influence of the afflictionsPeople will even kill their treasured selvesHow can they not cause harmTo the bodies of others

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo
ldquoIf it is adventitious it is also wrong to be angryhelliprdquo
ldquoThis is not the case as it is the person who harms me so it is correct to be angry with this personrdquo

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo

Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 174
From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo

65cd In brief no angry person is happy
ldquoYou always hurt the one you loverdquowords by Allan Roberts and music by Doris Fisher
You always hurt the one you love The one you shouldnt hurt at all You always take the sweetest rose And crush it till the petals fall
Khen Rinpoche Lobsang JamphelldquoIt is not possible for anger to become happinessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds62 There is no negativity like hatredAnd no fortitude like patienceTherefore earnestly cultivate Patience in a variety of ways
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo
Who to blame

Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 174
From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo

ldquoYou always hurt the one you loverdquowords by Allan Roberts and music by Doris Fisher
You always hurt the one you love The one you shouldnt hurt at all You always take the sweetest rose And crush it till the petals fall
Khen Rinpoche Lobsang JamphelldquoIt is not possible for anger to become happinessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds62 There is no negativity like hatredAnd no fortitude like patienceTherefore earnestly cultivate Patience in a variety of ways
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds635 If when under the influence of the afflictionsPeople will even kill their treasured selvesHow can they not cause harmTo the bodies of others
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo
ldquoIf it is adventitious it is also wrong to be angryhelliprdquo
ldquoThis is not the case as it is the person who harms me so it is correct to be angry with this personrdquo
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo
Who to blame
Pollution SkyFactories
Gun Person Affliction
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds642 I at a former time inflictedHarm such as this on living beingsTherefore it is fitting that I who hurt othersShould receive this harm
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 164 Sha-bo-baldquoWhen you say lsquoI am not at faultrsquo it indicates that you in fact have not internalised even a bit of the teachingrdquo

Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Donrsquot want suffering

The harmer is so kind
Helping you exhaust your bad karma
What is patience
How to begin the cultivation of patience
Divisions of patience
How to cultivate patience1) The benefits of patience2) The drawbacks of anger
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Divisions of Patience
1 Not retaliating2 Accepting
suffering3 Intent on the
Dharma
1 Hatred amp Hostility
2 Hostility amp Discouragement
3 Dislike amp Disbelief
Incompatible factors
Discouragement = giving up a spiritual life
Spiritual life = virtuous life
Virtuous life = happy life
Why must I accept suffering
Harm from another person
Suffering from my own body
Suffering from my own thoughts
Harm from the environment
Difficulty in changing the mind
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612ab The causes of happiness sometimes occurWhereas the causes of suffering occur frequently
This is samsara ndash suffering will occur itrsquos not surprising
What would not accepting suffering be like
The way to develop acceptance1) Rejecting the idea that when suffering
occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds610 Why be unhappy about something If it can be remediedAnd what is the use of being unhappy about somethingIf it cannot be remedied
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds69 Whatever befalls meI shall not disturb my mental joyHaving been made unhappy I shall not accomplish what I wish forAnd my virtues will decline
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquoMental joy refers to a state of calmness and stabilityhellipby being unhappy and discontented one will not be able to accomplish what one wishes So in a way being unhappy is quite pointlessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds616 I shall not be impatient withHeat cold wind and rainIllness bondage beatings and so onIf I am the harm increases
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Impatience will not change the suffering
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Impatience will increasethe suffering
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Impatience will lead to more unskilful actions
Why must I definitely
accept suffering Unskilful actions will lead
to suffering in the future
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
We will give up and stop creating causes for happiness
The way to develop acceptance1) Rejecting the idea that when suffering
occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Without suffering there is no definite emergenceTherefore mind you should stay firm
Definite EmergenceldquoIf we think the house we are living in is a squalid claustrophobic hovel we will not want to carry on living in it and we will want to move elsewhererdquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 174
From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 175
Think ldquoI know that in the past while passing through cyclic existence I suffered for the sake of trifling desires and minor needs yet I disregarded the many sufferingshelliprdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds675 But now since great purpose will be establishedFrom harm which is not as muchI should solely be joyfulTowards such suffering that dispels the harms of all beings
Hardship ndash for more sufferingHardship ndash for an end to suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds672 Is it not excellent if a man condemned to deathIs released after having his hand cut offIs it not excellent if I am spared from hellBy way of human suffering
SHORT TERM SUFFERING
LONGTERM
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear with suffering if you
gradually grow accustomed to it starting with the small
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds614 There is nothing whatsoeverThat does not become easier through habituationSo by becoming used to small harmsYou will bear great harms as well
Problems like ice-creamldquohellipapplying the idea of joy to these experiencesrdquo
Array of Stalks SutraldquoDaughter in order to destroy all afflictions you should develop a mind that is hard to defeatrdquo
Everyone in the world has problems
I should take it on and stay calm with the powerful mind of patience
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds617 Some seeing their own bloodBecome especially brave and steadyBut some when they see the blood of othersFall unconscious
618abThese come from the minds fortitudeOr from its timidity
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma

Khen Rinpoche Lobsang JamphelldquoIt is not possible for anger to become happinessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds62 There is no negativity like hatredAnd no fortitude like patienceTherefore earnestly cultivate Patience in a variety of ways
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo

The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 160-161 What would be reasonable grounds for anger towards harmdoers
ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds635 If when under the influence of the afflictionsPeople will even kill their treasured selvesHow can they not cause harmTo the bodies of others
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo
ldquoIf it is adventitious it is also wrong to be angryhelliprdquo
ldquoThis is not the case as it is the person who harms me so it is correct to be angry with this personrdquo
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo
Who to blame
Pollution SkyFactories
Gun Person Affliction
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds642 I at a former time inflictedHarm such as this on living beingsTherefore it is fitting that I who hurt othersShould receive this harm
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 164 Sha-bo-baldquoWhen you say lsquoI am not at faultrsquo it indicates that you in fact have not internalised even a bit of the teachingrdquo

Incompatible factors
Discouragement = giving up a spiritual life
Spiritual life = virtuous life
Virtuous life = happy life
Why must I accept suffering
Harm from another person
Suffering from my own body
Suffering from my own thoughts
Harm from the environment
Difficulty in changing the mind
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612ab The causes of happiness sometimes occurWhereas the causes of suffering occur frequently
This is samsara ndash suffering will occur itrsquos not surprising
What would not accepting suffering be like
The way to develop acceptance1) Rejecting the idea that when suffering
occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds610 Why be unhappy about something If it can be remediedAnd what is the use of being unhappy about somethingIf it cannot be remedied
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds69 Whatever befalls meI shall not disturb my mental joyHaving been made unhappy I shall not accomplish what I wish forAnd my virtues will decline
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquoMental joy refers to a state of calmness and stabilityhellipby being unhappy and discontented one will not be able to accomplish what one wishes So in a way being unhappy is quite pointlessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds616 I shall not be impatient withHeat cold wind and rainIllness bondage beatings and so onIf I am the harm increases
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Impatience will not change the suffering
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Impatience will increasethe suffering
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Impatience will lead to more unskilful actions
Why must I definitely
accept suffering Unskilful actions will lead
to suffering in the future
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
We will give up and stop creating causes for happiness
The way to develop acceptance1) Rejecting the idea that when suffering
occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Without suffering there is no definite emergenceTherefore mind you should stay firm
Definite EmergenceldquoIf we think the house we are living in is a squalid claustrophobic hovel we will not want to carry on living in it and we will want to move elsewhererdquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 174
From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 175
Think ldquoI know that in the past while passing through cyclic existence I suffered for the sake of trifling desires and minor needs yet I disregarded the many sufferingshelliprdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds675 But now since great purpose will be establishedFrom harm which is not as muchI should solely be joyfulTowards such suffering that dispels the harms of all beings
Hardship ndash for more sufferingHardship ndash for an end to suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds672 Is it not excellent if a man condemned to deathIs released after having his hand cut offIs it not excellent if I am spared from hellBy way of human suffering
SHORT TERM SUFFERING
LONGTERM
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear with suffering if you
gradually grow accustomed to it starting with the small
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds614 There is nothing whatsoeverThat does not become easier through habituationSo by becoming used to small harmsYou will bear great harms as well
Problems like ice-creamldquohellipapplying the idea of joy to these experiencesrdquo
Array of Stalks SutraldquoDaughter in order to destroy all afflictions you should develop a mind that is hard to defeatrdquo
Everyone in the world has problems
I should take it on and stay calm with the powerful mind of patience
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds617 Some seeing their own bloodBecome especially brave and steadyBut some when they see the blood of othersFall unconscious
618abThese come from the minds fortitudeOr from its timidity
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Steps on the Path to EnlightenmentGeshe Lhundub Sopa ldquoNot liking a practice not wanting to do a practice or ndash even if we do it ndash feeling uncomfortable and having reservations about the practice are all aspects of impatiencerdquo
Steps on the Path to EnlightenmentGeshe Lhundub Sopa ldquoIn order for religious practitioners to be comfortable and inspired to practice they must understand the causes the nature and the results of each practicerdquo

ldquoThey first had the thought of wanting to harm me prepared the method and then either prevented my happiness or inflicted unpleasant physical or mental suffering so my anger is justifiedrdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
AFFLICTION
Unrealistic

Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok

Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo

Why must I accept suffering
Harm from another person
Suffering from my own body
Suffering from my own thoughts
Harm from the environment
Difficulty in changing the mind
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612ab The causes of happiness sometimes occurWhereas the causes of suffering occur frequently
This is samsara ndash suffering will occur itrsquos not surprising
What would not accepting suffering be like
The way to develop acceptance1) Rejecting the idea that when suffering
occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds610 Why be unhappy about something If it can be remediedAnd what is the use of being unhappy about somethingIf it cannot be remedied
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds69 Whatever befalls meI shall not disturb my mental joyHaving been made unhappy I shall not accomplish what I wish forAnd my virtues will decline
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquoMental joy refers to a state of calmness and stabilityhellipby being unhappy and discontented one will not be able to accomplish what one wishes So in a way being unhappy is quite pointlessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds616 I shall not be impatient withHeat cold wind and rainIllness bondage beatings and so onIf I am the harm increases
Why must I definitely

We will give up and stop creating causes for happiness
The way to develop acceptance1) Rejecting the idea that when suffering
occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Without suffering there is no definite emergenceTherefore mind you should stay firm
Definite EmergenceldquoIf we think the house we are living in is a squalid claustrophobic hovel we will not want to carry on living in it and we will want to move elsewhererdquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 174
From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 175
Think ldquoI know that in the past while passing through cyclic existence I suffered for the sake of trifling desires and minor needs yet I disregarded the many sufferingshelliprdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds675 But now since great purpose will be establishedFrom harm which is not as muchI should solely be joyfulTowards such suffering that dispels the harms of all beings
Hardship ndash for more sufferingHardship ndash for an end to suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds672 Is it not excellent if a man condemned to deathIs released after having his hand cut offIs it not excellent if I am spared from hellBy way of human suffering
SHORT TERM SUFFERING
LONGTERM
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear with suffering if you
gradually grow accustomed to it starting with the small
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds614 There is nothing whatsoeverThat does not become easier through habituationSo by becoming used to small harmsYou will bear great harms as well
Problems like ice-creamldquohellipapplying the idea of joy to these experiencesrdquo
Array of Stalks SutraldquoDaughter in order to destroy all afflictions you should develop a mind that is hard to defeatrdquo
Everyone in the world has problems
I should take it on and stay calm with the powerful mind of patience
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds617 Some seeing their own bloodBecome especially brave and steadyBut some when they see the blood of othersFall unconscious
618abThese come from the minds fortitudeOr from its timidity
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma
Steps on the Path to EnlightenmentGeshe Lhundub Sopa ldquoNot liking a practice not wanting to do a practice or ndash even if we do it ndash feeling uncomfortable and having reservations about the practice are all aspects of impatiencerdquo

AFFLICTION
Unrealistic
thinking
Object
Seeds
Causes + Conditions = affliction arisesIncomplete or no causes + conditions = no affliction arises
Regardless of if they think ldquoI will cause malicerdquo
Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds635 If when under the influence of the afflictionsPeople will even kill their treasured selvesHow can they not cause harmTo the bodies of others
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo
ldquoIf it is adventitious it is also wrong to be angryhelliprdquo
ldquoThis is not the case as it is the person who harms me so it is correct to be angry with this personrdquo
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo
Who to blame
Pollution SkyFactories
Gun Person Affliction
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions

Are you angry because hellip(a) They inflicted harm while they had the self-control
not to harm you(b) They were utterly without any self-control and
hurt you while helplessly impelled by something else
We are willing to help someone if we know they are sick
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds109 Just as a doctor does not fight but helpsPatients who are possessed by spirits though they get angrySo the Sage sees that the afflictions are at faultNot the persons who have the afflictions
Four Hundred Verses634 If all beings could achieve resultsAccording to their wish thenSince no one wants suffering No one would suffer
Lack of self-controlIf we think ldquoOther-powered It is not true It was he who got angry It is nothing to do with whether or not he was put up to it by the afflictions in his continuum He willingly got angry at me That is how he wanted itrdquo The reply is ldquoSo when he suffers is it because he first thought ldquoI need some sufferingrdquordquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds635 If when under the influence of the afflictionsPeople will even kill their treasured selvesHow can they not cause harmTo the bodies of others
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 162
The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo
ldquoIf it is adventitious it is also wrong to be angryhelliprdquo
ldquoThis is not the case as it is the person who harms me so it is correct to be angry with this personrdquo
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo
Who to blame
Pollution SkyFactories
Gun Person Affliction

Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612ab The causes of happiness sometimes occurWhereas the causes of suffering occur frequently
This is samsara ndash suffering will occur itrsquos not surprising
What would not accepting suffering be like
The way to develop acceptance1) Rejecting the idea that when suffering
occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds610 Why be unhappy about something If it can be remediedAnd what is the use of being unhappy about somethingIf it cannot be remedied
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds69 Whatever befalls meI shall not disturb my mental joyHaving been made unhappy I shall not accomplish what I wish forAnd my virtues will decline
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquoMental joy refers to a state of calmness and stabilityhellipby being unhappy and discontented one will not be able to accomplish what one wishes So in a way being unhappy is quite pointlessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds616 I shall not be impatient withHeat cold wind and rainIllness bondage beatings and so onIf I am the harm increases
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Why must I definitely

Impatience will not change the suffering
Why must I definitely

Impatience will lead to more unskilful actions

occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Without suffering there is no definite emergenceTherefore mind you should stay firm
Definite EmergenceldquoIf we think the house we are living in is a squalid claustrophobic hovel we will not want to carry on living in it and we will want to move elsewhererdquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 174
From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 175
Think ldquoI know that in the past while passing through cyclic existence I suffered for the sake of trifling desires and minor needs yet I disregarded the many sufferingshelliprdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds675 But now since great purpose will be establishedFrom harm which is not as muchI should solely be joyfulTowards such suffering that dispels the harms of all beings
Hardship ndash for more sufferingHardship ndash for an end to suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds672 Is it not excellent if a man condemned to deathIs released after having his hand cut offIs it not excellent if I am spared from hellBy way of human suffering
SHORT TERM SUFFERING
LONGTERM
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear with suffering if you
gradually grow accustomed to it starting with the small
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds614 There is nothing whatsoeverThat does not become easier through habituationSo by becoming used to small harmsYou will bear great harms as well
Problems like ice-creamldquohellipapplying the idea of joy to these experiencesrdquo
Array of Stalks SutraldquoDaughter in order to destroy all afflictions you should develop a mind that is hard to defeatrdquo
Everyone in the world has problems
I should take it on and stay calm with the powerful mind of patience
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds617 Some seeing their own bloodBecome especially brave and steadyBut some when they see the blood of othersFall unconscious
618abThese come from the minds fortitudeOr from its timidity
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma

The fault of doing harm to others either is or is not in the nature of living beings
ldquoIf it is in their nature it is wrong to get angryhelliprdquo

ldquoThis is not the case as it is the person who harms me so it is correct to be angry with this personrdquo
Developing the patience of disregarding harm done to us by othersOBJECT Does the object have self control Adventitious or inherent Is the harm direct or indirect What is the cause that impels harmdoersSUBJECT Contradictions
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds641 The stick and so forth directly cause the harmBut if I am angry at the one who throws itThen since hostility impels themIt is better to get angry at hostility
We donrsquot get angry at the gun but what caused the gun to go off
Same logic applies to the person and the affliction which caused the person to ldquogo offrdquo

Incompatible factors
Discouragement = giving up a spiritual life
Spiritual life = virtuous life
Virtuous life = happy life
Why must I accept suffering
Harm from another person
Suffering from my own body
Suffering from my own thoughts
Harm from the environment
Difficulty in changing the mind
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612ab The causes of happiness sometimes occurWhereas the causes of suffering occur frequently
This is samsara ndash suffering will occur itrsquos not surprising
What would not accepting suffering be like
The way to develop acceptance1) Rejecting the idea that when suffering
occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds610 Why be unhappy about something If it can be remediedAnd what is the use of being unhappy about somethingIf it cannot be remedied
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds69 Whatever befalls meI shall not disturb my mental joyHaving been made unhappy I shall not accomplish what I wish forAnd my virtues will decline
Healing Anger HH Dalai Lama ldquoMental joy refers to a state of calmness and stabilityhellipby being unhappy and discontented one will not be able to accomplish what one wishes So in a way being unhappy is quite pointlessrdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds616 I shall not be impatient withHeat cold wind and rainIllness bondage beatings and so onIf I am the harm increases
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Impatience will not change the suffering
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Impatience will increasethe suffering
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
Impatience will lead to more unskilful actions
Why must I definitely
accept suffering Unskilful actions will lead
to suffering in the future
Why must I definitely
accept suffering
We will give up and stop creating causes for happiness
The way to develop acceptance1) Rejecting the idea that when suffering
occurs it is absolutely unpleasant2) Showing that it is appropriate to accept
suffering
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Without suffering there is no definite emergenceTherefore mind you should stay firm
Definite EmergenceldquoIf we think the house we are living in is a squalid claustrophobic hovel we will not want to carry on living in it and we will want to move elsewhererdquo
Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tegchok
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds612cd Furthermore suffering has good qualitiesThrough being disheartened with it arrogance is dispelledCompassion arises for those in cyclic existenceNegativities are shunned and joy is found in virtue
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 174
From these five and what they indicate recognise other good qualities on your own and then repeatedly train your mind to think ldquoThis suffering is a condition that I wantrdquo
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear withhellip
Lamrim ChenmoVolume 2 pg 175
Think ldquoI know that in the past while passing through cyclic existence I suffered for the sake of trifling desires and minor needs yet I disregarded the many sufferingshelliprdquo
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds675 But now since great purpose will be establishedFrom harm which is not as muchI should solely be joyfulTowards such suffering that dispels the harms of all beings
Hardship ndash for more sufferingHardship ndash for an end to suffering
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds672 Is it not excellent if a man condemned to deathIs released after having his hand cut offIs it not excellent if I am spared from hellBy way of human suffering
SHORT TERM SUFFERING
LONGTERM
Showing that it is appropriate to accept suffering1) The good qualities of reflecting on suffering2) The advantages of bearing sufferingrsquos hardships3) It is not difficult to bear with suffering if you
gradually grow accustomed to it starting with the small
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds614 There is nothing whatsoeverThat does not become easier through habituationSo by becoming used to small harmsYou will bear great harms as well
Problems like ice-creamldquohellipapplying the idea of joy to these experiencesrdquo
Array of Stalks SutraldquoDaughter in order to destroy all afflictions you should develop a mind that is hard to defeatrdquo
Everyone in the world has problems
I should take it on and stay calm with the powerful mind of patience
Bodhisattvarsquos Deeds617 Some seeing their own bloodBecome especially brave and steadyBut some when they see the blood of othersFall unconscious
618abThese come from the minds fortitudeOr from its timidity
The Divisions of Patience1) The patience which doesnrsquot retaliate2) The patience which accepts suffering3) The patience which is intent on the Dharma

KNOW and MEDITATE on the reasons before we encounter the real
thing
No one wants to sufferFor ourselveshellip
Suffering should be understood The causes should be abandoned Cessation of the causes should be realisedThe path to the cessation should be practiced
No one wants to sufferFor othershellip
All religions teach love and compassion as a foundation Hatred is the opposite Therefore patience becomes the most important topic
Steps on the Path to EnlightenmentGeshe Lhundub Sopa Patience ishellip ldquoaccepting whatever happens because we understand the nature of the situation and its causesrdquo
love is understanding
