11 21 Grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, Courage to change the one I can, And the wisdom to know it s me
12 23 Wherever you are that is the entry point. Kabir, 15 th Century Indian Poet 24 12
13 The BIG Three Criticism 25 If you get angry easily, it may be because the seed of anger in you has been watered frequently over many years, and unfortunately you have allowed it or even encouraged it to be watered. Thich Nhat Hanh, Taming the Tiger Within, (Riverhead Books, 2004) 26 13
14 The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care; And let it spring from love, Born out of concern for all beings. The Buddha
15 False Frequent Evidence Exaggerations Appears About Real Reality 29 Healing Zen, Ellen Birx,
16 We habitually erect a barrier called blame that keeps us from communicating genuinely with others, and we fortify it with our concepts of who s right and who s wrong. Pema Chodron RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT WRONG WRONG WRONG 31 Would you rather be right or happy? Tireless Debate Alcoholics Anonymous 32 16
17 ecognize ccept nvestigate ot identify/personalize 33 Your fondest dreams will be transformed into fruitful realities if you just know the secret of growing the patience-tree in your heart. Sri Chimnoy, The Wisdom of Sri Chimnoy, Blue Dove Press, (2000) 34 17
18 Pessimists Permanent Optimists Temporary Pervasive Specific Personal External 35 The courageous act of starting to address one s anger and developing greater patience is, to me a sacred art. Allan Lokos, Patience: The Art of Peaceful Living,
19 Patience: The Art of Peaceful Living by Allen Lokos, 2012 For a home to be a refuge it needs to be a place where love, compassion and patience prevail. 37 His Holiness The Dalai Lama 38 19
20 Your mind is all stories
21 Delusion Awareness Clarity Wisdom Source: Jack Kornfield, The Wise Heart 41 The essence of bravery is being without self-deception. Pema Chodron 42 21
22 All beings want to be happy, yet so very few know how. It is out of ignorance that any of us cause suffering, for ourselves or for others Sharon Salzberg, Loving-kindness, Grasping Letting Go Kindness Flexibility Source: Jack Kornfield, The Wise Heart 44 22
23 Helen Keller, We Bereaved, Resisting Open - Heartedness Loving - Kindness Source: Jack Kornfield, The Wise Heart 46 23
24 Mindfulness is within your grasp, holding on to it is the difficult part! Richard Fields, Ph.D
25 Love and compassion and are necessities, not luxuries, without them humanity cannot survive. His Holiness the Dalai Lama 49 Definition: Self looking in on self, finding the self lacking or feeling exposed seen in a public way and wanting to cover up feeling hunted. (Fossum and Mason, 1987) 50 25
26 Shame based System 1. No hope hopelessness 2. Inescapable 3. Exterior based Self Compassionate System 1. Hope choice 2. Can make amends 3. Internally based 51 Shame - Feeling Bond Anger + Shame = Rage Anxiety + Shame = Panic Sadness + Shame = Depression Loneliness + Shame = Abandoned/Isolated 52 26
27 Compassion Resistance FEARS of RECEIVING COMPASSION I wonder if displays of warmth and kindness from others are genuine. When people are kind and compassionate towards me I feel anxious or embarrassed. I m fearful of becoming dependent on others, because they might not be available or willing to give compassion 53 Fears of Compassion for Others I worry that if I am compassionate and venerable people will drain my emotional resources. People will take advantage of me if they see me as too compassionate. There are some people in life who don t deserve compassion. Being compassionate towards people who have done bad things is letting them off the hook
28 SPANISH PROVERB 55 SELF COMPASSION The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. Carl Rogers (1961) 56 28
29 Caring for others requires caring for oneself. HH the Dalai Lama (2000) 57 HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE In this world hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, ancient and inexhaustible. The Buddha 58 29
