Contemplative Monday


The following quote is from 'Heart Advice, Weekly Quotes From Pema Chodron'.

REJOICEMENT THERAPY


"Sentient beings are the cause of our enlightenment.


When they bother us, we learn patience;


when they're suffering, we learn loving-kindness and compassion.


No matter what reaction they evoke, we can relate to them in a way that relates to buddhahood.


Instead of buying into aversion, we become tolerant.


Instead of staying stuck in selfishness, we extend a hand to someone in distress.


Instead of letting jealousy sabotage us,


we train in rejoicement therapy."
