As promised, some pointers from the Dharma talk:
- We all have a ‘knife’ in our heart, or knives. Where is the knife in my heart? Who shall I forgive for those knives?
- What knives have I thrown? What suffering have I caused? Have I asked for forgiveness?
- Have we ever thought that people who ‘throw knives’ at others, is because they are in pain, they have a ‘knife’ in their hearts. This is not a justification, this is nature
- Cultivate the happy- when we are not in anger or in fear, when we have those moments of no-craving and we are just happy, be aware of those, and water those seeds; they will be our antidote for the moments of anger, fear, craving.
- Acknowledge be aware of the negative emotions/mental formations and acknowledge it and treat it with the opposite. Usually love/loving kindness/compassion melts all.
- Separation creates anxiety & fear. How to tackle this? With openness, connectedness.
