Rinpoche began by explaining that if you don’t take care of your mind, that means you are not taking care of your life. If you are able to keep your mind positive it means you are able to keep your mind healthy, even if the body has hardships. Rinpoche spoke about how unbelievably precious it is that we have this human body and that we have met dharma. Then Rinpoche spoke about the kindness of the guru and when your mind is living in correctly following the virtuous friend, you look at each guru as all the buddhas dharmakaya. One whose mind is correctly following the virtuous friend, following the wishes and advice that is the best way of taking care of your life. The mind living in renunciation, seeing samsara is in the nature of suffering, and what you are doing is not becoming the cause of samsara, that is another way of taking care of your life, then also living your life with bodhichitta and emptiness, these are the best ways of taking care of your life. Then Rinpoche spoke on how to practice patience, explaining four methods to meditate on patience when anger arises, as well as what to do when someone blames you or criticizes you, how to take the loss on yourself and offer the victory to the other person and why that is so important.
