Cattāri Brahmavihārā

From now on, no matter what problems I have to face, I won’t become irritated by them. I won’t identify any circumstances or obstacles I experience as problems. I’ll regard them as positive

Excerpt from: “Transforming Problems into Happiness” by Thubten Zopa.

I have greatly benefited from returning to the Lojong teachings but, as a fabricated state, my ability to maintain calm and equipoise in the face of unpleasant speech began to falter.

Luckily, I had the foresight to retire to a room and reflect on my kamma and forgiveness until I was able to make clear for myself what the right course of action was. Funny how delusion quickly covers what has just been wiped clean.
