Instead
of looking at others, telling yourself your usual story about who
people are, visualize every person you see as the Bodhisattva of
Compassion, the very embodiment of compassion. Deeply doing this,
there’s no way you can feel negative toward them.
—Lama Yeshe, “Visualizations”
Happiness is Found Within
Today’s divisive political culture can bring
out our worst impulses, but with Tibetan Buddhist methods of fostering
compassion, we can clear the mind of negativity and connect with our
intrinsic qualities of clarity and warmth. Dungse Jampal Norbu, a
teacher in the Mangala Shri Bhuti sangha and the son of Dzigar Kongtrul
Rinpoche and Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel, guides us through practices to
cool off anger and take a walk in other’s shoes.
