Relationship, Support & Tonglen
- When we seek connection, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other." ...Margaret Wheatley
- "Someone who is willing to step forward and help is much more courageous than someone who is merely fulfilling the role."...Margaret Wheatley
- As taken from the book "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" written by: Sogyal Rinpoche - "One modern figure who dedicated her life to serving the sick and dying and who radiated this joy of giving and receiving was Mother Teresa. I know of no more inspiring statement of the spiritual essence of Tonglen than these words of hers:
" We all long for heaven where God is, but we have it in our power to be in heaven with Him at this very moment. But being happy with Him now means:
Loving as He loves,
Helping as He helps,
Giving as He gives,
Serving as He serves,
Rescuing as He rescues,
Being with Him twenty-four hours,
Touching Himin his distressing disguise."
"A love as vast as this cured Geshe Chekhawa's lepers of their Leprosy; it could also perhaps cure us of a disease even more dangerous: of that Ignorance, which life after life has hindered us from realizing the nature of our mind, and so of attaining liberation."...Sogyal Rinpoche
