Hi Group:-)there was this post today on Pema Chodron's FB Blog. Perhaps some of u'll have heard it b4, but for me it was the 1st time, and it really touched me. There's soo much in these mere few lines. Thought i'd share it with y'll:-) " Be Grateful To Everybody " If we were to make a list of the people we don't like-people we find obnoxious, threatening or worthy of contempt-we would find much about ourselves that we can't face. If we were to come up with one word about each of the troublemakers in our lives, we would find ourselves with a

list of descriptions of our

own rejected qualities. We project these on the outside world.The people who repel us unwittingly show us aspects of ourselves that we find unacceptable, which otherwise we can't see. Traditional lojong teachings say it another way: other people trigger the karma we haven't worked out. They mirror us and give us a chance to befriend all of that ancient stuff we carry around like a backpack full of granite boulders. " Be grateful to everyone " is a way of saying that we can learn from any situation, especially if we practice this slogan with awareness. The people and situations in our lives can remind us to catch neurosis as neurosis-to see when we've pulled the shades, locked the door, and crawled under the covers. " (Comfortable With

Uncertainty)-K Designs. " " Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.

That way, when you criticize them, you're already a mile away AND you have their

shoes. " ~ a very pious intellectual
