Practicing Forgiveness and PatienceIn order to achieve perfect patience – the opposite of anger -- and forgiveness, we have to practice these virtues in little ways all day long. And since praise and fame can be major distractions, could we say that those who defame us are really protecting us?

How Happy Are You?Your relative happiness is the real gauge of spiritual progress. The first steps to perfect happiness are to recognize the unhappiness we presently live with and have become inured to. And when we begin to see the results of even a little practice, we get some faith and are willing to work hard for our spiritual goals.

The Chain of PainLama Marut reviews the cause and effect “chain of pain.” It starts with the ignorant seeds we carry into this life from previous lives which then ripen and forces us to think of things ignorantly and react to them ignorantly – which causes us to create the causes for more suffering. We break the cycle through cultivating wisdom about where likeable and dislikeable things in our lives really come from.

CD’s and the 1st Arya TruthThe Buddha’s very first teaching is that life is suffering. When we are in the midst of a disaster, we know this. But it’s in between disasters that we have to remember that every good thing we obtain – ranging from our new CD or pair of shoes to our youth and health and every relationship -- we will lose. Truth happiness has to be found within, not in the ever-changing things outside of ourselves.

Re-Identity YourselfA very important spiritual practice is to simply re-identify ourselves – as a kind, compassionate, happy person instead of a suffering schmuck. Additionally, when we encounter others we have a choice between two unconfirmable assumptions. The other person can be interpreted as ordinary or anextraordinary being trying to help you. Since we can’t confirm either choice, which one would be more useful?
