Negative conditions are spiritual teachers;
Spirits and demons are emanations of conquerors;
Sickness is a broom sweeping away defilements and obscurations
All sufferings are dharmata's waves.
Khenchen Könchog Gyaltshen
Taking time to reflect or to simply be “in the moment” can not only create calm, it can promote understanding, compassion and forgiveness.

Jumbo-Jet
"Following the flight path of all the conquerors of the three times,
The jumbo-jet of relative and ultimate bodhicitta
Soars through the sky on the wings of the two accumulations
And lands smoothly, with no delays, at the four kayas airport."
Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche

Being
Being is complete in itself. That is the nature of transcendental wisdom. Our being is a mystical sacrament, it is the mysterious and sacred grace of the present moment. It has been around a lot longer than churches and religions. It is not our personal being, but being itself. It is in all living beings.

Cynicism
Cynicism closes the possibilities and the channels of life. It shrivels the soul.

Fearlessness
There is a fearless quality to giving. We have to help those who live in vexation, fear, and despair and encourage them to overcome any difficulties they encounter. The third category of generosity is the giving of fearlessness. If someone encounters a frightening experience and you comfort them and deliver them from distress and terror, you have made a gift of fearlessness.

Generosity
There are three major categories of generosity. There is the giving of wealth and there is both inner and outer wealth. Outer wealth and its symbols. We all understand inner wealth refers to one’s own head, brain, eyes, and words. For those poor and disabled, we help them with money and goods for living. If people cannot survive, aren’t satisfied with their basic needs, they will not listen to what you say and follow what you do. Though the help is sometimes minimal, it is an immediate solution to relieve them from suffering, starving, coldness, and so on. With the immeasurable mind of compassion, a conscious person doesn’t hesitate to help under these circumstances.
