And it’s true—compassion feels good. But we overlook the fact that compassion is also essentially a painful feeling. Feeling another’s pain as our own is painful. And it turns out that it’s impossible to take in the pain of another unless we are able to take in our own pain.”

Most of us wonder how to wonder:
-grow plantings
-check sky for sliver linings [sic]
-drain or better still train the mind
In Buddhist #Dharma we use #Lojong and cultivate #Shoshin but for the more swamped, #Mantra is a simpler practice

Wisdom, in the Buddhist tradition, is cultivated by closely examining the world and our minds to understand both on a deeper level. This is lojong, the practice of mind training.

Mind Training: How To Value Adversity? Heroic Heart Lojong Palmo
Imagine training our minds so we are always responding with understanding and compassion!
That singular act would radically transform humanity … peace and unity would become the norm vs our sad reality of ever increasing divisiveness and conflicts (within ourselves and with others) …

A few weeks before the retreat started had started meditation again, was surprised and relieved how helpful it was. been struggling for a long time, headed into the panny in a downward spiral and it was rough.
Shaky steps,hanging in there.
