Lift Yourself Up
'Radiating from basic goodness like the sun,
compassion lifts us above
self-involvement
and brings us out of the Dark Age.'
Sakyong Mipham
~Like the Sun~
Your compassion radiates
from basic goodness inside you
to shine on the world and others around you.
To be happy and content, look outward with compassion.
'If you want to be
miserable, think of yourself.
If you want to be happy, think of
others.'

To Feel Over the Moon,
Be Like the Sun
If your compassion radiates
from your basic goodness deep inside...
~Choose to be like the sun~
Let your compassion for others
pull you out of obsessive self-involvement
and into compassionate, caring
relationships with others instead.
Too much self-absorption leads to
brooding and anxiety.
'When stress is the basic state of mind,
even good things stress us
out.
We have to learn to let go.'
Sakyong Mipham
Compassion and Karma
'Karma moves in two directions.
If we act virtuously, the seed we plant
will result in happiness.
If we act non-virtuously, suffering results.
...This jewel is the wisdom and compassion
that it takes to act not on
behalf of ourselves but for all beings.
This is where real confidence and
competence come from.
Once we possess this jewel, our life becomes blessed.'
