Anger leads us to project, very vividly, that the source of our problem is the other person, or the outside situation -- these things that we have exaggerated and are seeing as our object of blame. To actively reduce our anger we first need a sense of distance from it, so that we can begin to look at it and see: "This is anger and this is crazy.” As opposed to: “This is anger and it's helping.”

Summer Festival is now underway! Yesterday we received the powerful, lasting protection of the Wisdom Buddha Dorje Shugden, an enlightened being whose very function is to pacify obstacles and create favourable conditions within our heart.
Today Gen-la Dekyong gave two teachings on Kadam Lamrim.
We are just two days in and already we can feel the locomotive force of Venerable Geshe la’s special method – the NKT-IKBU International Festivals.

Meditation is a process of going home. We discover

Meditation is a process of going home. We discover our own inner reservoir of peace and happiness that has always been there whether or not we've been paying attention to it. Once we discover it in ourself we learn how to go deeper and deeper into it, and live from that place, as well as share it with others.

In The New Eight Steps to Happiness, Venerable Ges

In The New Eight Steps to Happiness, Venerable Geshe Kelsang writes “Pure love is unmixed with attachment and stems entirely from a concern for others’ happiness . . . we should learn to distinguish attachment from love, and gradually try to remove all traces of attachment from our relationships and to improve our love until it becomes pure.”

It's important not to simply repress our anger. When we repress anger, we internalize it, which creates tension or pain in the body and mind. A hallmark of repressed anger is an out-of-control explosion after the fact, at that person we are angry with, or maybe at someone completely unrelated to a situation which has made us angry. Repressed anger is anger that isn't acknowledged, and from that point of view it can be even more dangerous.

How often do we take the time to deeply enjoy thin

How often do we take the time to deeply enjoy things? Deep enjoyment comes from focus, mindfulness, and deep attention. All of these skills are developed in meditation. Without them it's impossible to actualize our highest potential.

While we may enjoy the experience of a peaceful mind in meditation, it only becomes spiritually meaningful when it is accompanied by the wisdom insight that peace is natural to the mind, and is the source of our authentic happiness. This insight opens the door to our true spiritual potential.
