Jack Kornfield:
"Hatred and aversion almost always arise as a direct reaction to a
threatening or painful situation. Fortunately, we can train ourselves to
live with mindfulness, to meet fear and pain with wisdom instead of
with the habits of aversion and anger.When a painful or threatening
event arises, we can open our eyes to it.When we learn to bear our own
pain and face our own fears,we will no longer blame and inflict it on
others, neither family members nor other tribes.With mindfulness,
instead of reacting, we can respond with spacious clarity, purpose,
firmness, and compassion. A wise response includes whatever action,
fierce at times, is the most caring toward life, our own and others’. "http://ow.ly/4Stn306rkRS
