Don't Be Caught up in Irritations

 My Book on Tai Chi Imagery |
Don't take a jealous attitude toward others. When others disparage you in public or cause trouble for you, don't react or let your mind and feelings be disturbed. Potowa said:
Because all of us, though we are dharma persons, have not made dharma a remedy for egoclinging, we are more sensitive than a newly healed wound. We are more caught up by irritations than Tsang-tsen. This is not effective dharma. Dharma, to be effective, must remedy ego-clinging.

| Source of the biography of Jamgon Kongtrul given in the text. A delightful introduction to the deepest understanding of visualization, a particular way of cultivating religious imagination and full-bodied practice. Jamgon Kongtrul, a master practitioner and one of Tibet's most prolific writers, composed this text as a guide to the effective practice of tantric Buddhist meditation. Written in the style of the Tibetan songs of realization, the text leads a way along a clear path of meditative self-transformation; this revised and updated edition includes a commentary by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche | |
| The first modern (19th century) commentary on the root text, and the primary source for all subsequent commentaries. Timeless, honest, straightforward and always insightful about our human nature. A must-have for any Mind Training practitioner. | |
