When I have a problem that comes to me, I’m not looking for the solution in something other than the problem itself. Actually, the problem can be the solution. [Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche in conversation with Helen Tworkov, “Mingyur Rinpoche on Overcoming Panic and Finding Joy Through Acceptance”]

Our monkey minds are endlessly creative, and one of their favorite things to create is a nice juicy problem. If you don't happen to have a problem, your monkey mind is always more than happy to invent one for you. This is why most suffering is self-created. And, because it's coming from the mind, self-created suffering can manifest in an unlimited number of ways.
If you're wearing eyeglasses with yellow-tinted lenses, everything you see in the world around you will appear to be some shade of yellow. This is more or less how self-created suffering works. For example, if you're easily angered, you will tend to continually produce, perceive and construct a lot of "reality" according to that tendency.
You hone in on others' faults, believing that no one treats you well, that everyone else is in the wrong, until eventually you see the whole world as your enemy. If you have a habit of pride, you'll see the people around you as useless or lazy compared to you.
If envy is your Achilles heel, you'll view the world as a contest, a continual jockeying for the position of the one who has the most love, friends, fame, or resources. Such distorted views cause misunderstandings and conflicts between yourself and your family, friends, colleagues, coworkers, and society as a whole. And because they're so common, they're easily mistaken for reality. After all, you can always find commiseration for a negative view.
Someone else is probably wearing those same yellow glasses and will reinforce your belief.
When you're under the spell of a negative outlook, it's very easy to forget that it's not reality. It is what is sometimes called "holding a hammer in your hand and beating yourself on the head." Clonk! "Where did that come from?" Clonk! "Who is that? How dare they?" But actually, the source of the distress is coming from your own mind.
You're the one beating yourself over the head. The good news is, this means you also have the power to stop!

"Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart. It's always with us. It always has been, and always will be. When it arises in us, we've simply learned to see how strong and safe we really are."

Last Song: Rule #27 - Drunk on Pride [Weapons that are used / Are buried away / Flags that were torn / Get lost in a page / Barely any scars / Left from the good old days] I like listening to Fish In A Birdcage. Thumbs up.
Currently Watching: nothing, I'm bad at watching stuff unless someone hold my hand.
Currently Reading: I juggle books but today I've been continuing The Joy of Living by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. It's essentially Tibetan Buddhism meets modern science. I've also been reading Libraries in the Ancient World by Lionel Casson. Libraries 🖤
Current Obsession: Being Alive 🖤 and seeing Trees And Lakes. And, also Honkai Star Rail.

The core of the Vajrayana tradition is that we strive to embody pure perception. We view our thoughts and emotions — even the difficult ones — as manifestations of timeless awareness. We see every person as a Buddha, and we treat them as such. We view the world that we live in as a pure realm, enlightened just as it is.
This tradition of treating everything and everyone as though we are meeting the Buddha face-to-face is our main practice in the Vajrayana. It is the life blood of our tradition and the very highest ethical standard we could aspire to. In this day and age, with confusion and conflict all around us, the world needs this more than ever.

Ultimately, happiness comes down to choosing between the discomfort of becoming aware of your mental afflictions and the discomfort of being ruled by them.

“Tibetan Buddhist texts liken this type of addictive behavior to ‘licking honey off a razor.’ The initial sensation may be sweet, but the underlying effect is quite damaging. Seeking satisfaction in others or in external objects or events reinforces a deep and often unacknowledged belief that we, as we are, are not entirely complete; that we need something beyond ourselves in order to experience a sense of wholeness or security or stability.”
— Joyful Wisdom by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche (with Eric Swanson)

La tua pratica può iniziare con un semplice desiderio di fare meglio, di gestire tutti i tuoi affari con maggiore consapevolezza e intuizione e di aprire il tuo cuore più ampiamente agli altri.
L'intenzione è il fattore più importante nel determinare se la tua esperienza è causata dalla sofferenza o dalla pace.
La saggezza e la compassione vanno davvero di pari passo. Più sei attento e più in profondità guardi le cose, più è facile per te trovare compassione.
E più apri il tuo cuore ai bisogni degli altri, più saggio e attento diventi in tutti i tuoi affari.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche ******************* Your practice can begin with a simple desire to do better, to handle all your affairs with greater awareness and insight, and to open your heart more widely to others.
Intention is the most important factor in determining whether your experience is caused by suffering or peace.
Wisdom and compassion really go hand in hand. The more observant you are and the deeper you look at things, the easier it is for you to find compassion.
And the more you open your heart to the needs of others, the wiser and more observant you become in all your affairs.

"Wherever you are, whatever you do, it's essential to acknowledge your experience as something ordinary, the natural expression of your true mind. If you don't try to stop whatever is going on in your mind, but merely observe it, eventually you'll begin to feel a tremendous sense of relaxation, a vast sense of openness within your mind - which is in fact the natural mind, the naturally unperturbed background against which various thoughts come and go."
-Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, The Joy of Living, Chapter 3, pg. 57
