This month topic will be:
“I struggle with differentiating anger and indignation”
When colliding with challenging times and humans we might relapse into our usual coping mechanisms, such as denial, withdrawing, anger, and accusation. Alternatively, we could fall into the other end of the spectrum, through some sort of bypassing: “the universe has a greater project, it’s all going to be fine in the end, etc.”
Are they answers that help us to grow on our project of Bodhi?
What guidelines in the Buddhist literature help us through these challenging times?
Are they practical, or only nice ideas?
Let’s explore together a piece of advice that was offered by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in the 80s.
I would like you to help this world.
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
“I would like you to help this world. And the world is somewhat falling apart positively at this point. And the chaos that takes place in the world is not that negative or bad, but the world is falling apart, positively. And the world does need some kind of help. And it has to be individual help. And I would like to encourage any one of you to go out and try to help people. Namely, number one, to reduce speed. Number two, reduce aggression. Number three, try encourage people that they could fall in love with something or other. That, love is very much needed in this world, this point. They could fall in love with one or two people, but they have to fall in love with the rest of the world. That’s very important. Thank you so much, Ladies and Gentlemen. I love you all. Thank you. I adore you all”
