Some Stonepeace ideas related to teachings from Geshe Dorji Damdul’s talk yesterday ‘The Secret of Joy’:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

‘If we all dislke suffering,
\nwhy should anyone give it to anyone?
\nIf we all like happiness,
\nwhy should everyone not give it to everyone?’<\/p>\n

‘Though there are 1001 ‘good’ reasons why others behave badly,
\nthere should be no good reason why we should too.’<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Since imperfection is the very nature of Samsara,
\nto seek True Happiness while remaining samsaric is perfectly foolish.’<\/p>\n

‘If we all feel that we are the most important,
\nand since others are so many more than you,
\nit is most important thing to benefit others.’<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Empathy for those who create problems for you
\narises from realising that
\nthey do so because they have problems themselves.’<\/p>\n

‘To know the sweet, taste the bitter.
\nTo know the bitter, taste the sweet.
\nTo know equanimity, taste both and the in-between.’<\/span><\/p>\n

‘If you know your suffering could be a little more,
\nyou ought to be grateful that it is not that much more.
\n[With this gratitude, your suffering lessens.]’<\/p>\n

‘If lasting happiness is your final goal,
\nany fleeting suffering encountered along the way is inconsequential.’<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Joy immeasurably greater
\nthan that over personal happiness
\nis rejoice in the happiness of [many] others.’<\/p>\n
