These weeks spoke about flow, Lhatong, anger, and forgiveness. Lhatong is the Tibetan word for Vipassana, the Buddhist term for 'insight.' It allows you to see things as they really are.
On flow: To develop awareness of the mind and body, try to observe various aspects when thinking. What impact does change have on our lives? What do you think about when you have nothing to do? What do you envision for your future? What do you see yourself doing, talking, if your friends were here, or family?
On forgiveness: it does not imply that we allow ourselves to be trampled. It is rather the skill to avoid churning up our own emotions by endlessly reminding ourselves of the injustice.
On anger: when hatred is dissolved, employ anger to concentrate and see things clearly, which thereby help us become aware of our feelings and possible responses to the situation. Let's act in a way that prevents harm to ourselves and others. Observe the root cause first before making any decision. Sometimes anger can stem from fear too. As humans, we deliberately make ourselves angry to avoid feeling the underlying fear. Be alert for such signs.
