I’ve also heard Ram Dass say that the only way to get good at relationships or rather to work out ones stuff it’s key to interact with others most especially with our families.
Always good talk by ajahm Brahmali. Two points though i would like to mention. We are connected to certain people not just because we spend time with them, but because our energies are attracted. We might spend very little time with them, and yet feel deeply connected, whereas in other cases we might spend our whole life with someone, and be miserable and not happy. The other point, is that personally i do not want to open my heart to everone. There are people that i have nothing in common with, or that i am not attracted to their energy, and therefore they are indeferrent to me. Being said that, ofcourse i will not do any harm to them. By not wanting to love everone, does not make me less happy or a bad person.
Hello thank you for deep teaching. About karuna and its challenges, we run an animal rescue and karuna can be a great motivator for doing good work but does need evolution of spirit to stay balanced. Thank you.
"On being asked why Cakkhupala was blind although he was an arahat, the Buddha told the following story: Cakkhupala was a physician in one of his past existences. Once, he had deliberately made a woman patient blind. That woman had promised him to become his slave, together with her children, if her eyes were completely cured. Fearing that she and her children would have to become slaves, she lied to the physician. She told him that her eyes were getting worse when, in fact, they were perfectly cured. The physician knew she was deceiving him, so in revenge, he gave her another ointment, which made her totally blind. As a result of this evil deed the physician lost his eyesight many times in his later existences. Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows: Verse 1: All mental phenomena have mind as their forerunner; they have mind as their chief; they are mind-made. If one speaks or acts with an evil mind, 'dukkha' follows him just as the wheel follows the hoofprint of the ox that draws the cart."- Dhammapada Verse 1 Cakkhupalatthera Vatthu

That is lovely, but why does he say "huh* after every sentence? Monk*s have there failings
He was born in and grew up in Norway. His teachings are so profound...seems rather inconsequential, does it not?
