Holding All Beings Dear | December 29, 2014
Encountering a person we view as vile, we are given the chance to see
our rebellion against a truly altruistic attitude as well as the
enormity of the task of holding all beings dear. The vile provide
opportunities to build character and to practice patience, and hard
times are a great opportunity for advancement along the path.
