Observe your speech to ensure you don’t say anything offensive. As Atisha remarked, “In company examine your words; alone examine your mind.” When afflictions and disturbing emotions arise, apply a remedy, otherwise they will multiply and become too powerful to counter.

He concluded that it was to develop the awakening mind of bodhichitta. He then strove to develop it and worked relentlessly for the welfare of sentient beings.

But in the post meditative phase we may encounter opposing circumstances. Thogmey Sangpo explains how to transform these into factors that support our practice in the context of combatting the eight worldly concerns.

He or she seeks to uproot the four distorted views that see the unclean as clean, the fleeting as permanent, the miserable as happy and the selfless as intrinsically existent.
