Rinpoche began by explaining how the ‘I’ is created and then spoke about how the mind creates anger and attachment on the basis of ignorance. When you get angry if you immediately think of I, where the I exists, in mere name, merely labelled by the mind. When you think that, then the anger is gone. By thinking something is bad, then anger comes, so it comes from wrong concept. Also, the same with desire. But if you think how the I is merely labelled, then the huge concept of ‘I’ is gone. This proves that it comes from wrong concept, from ignorance. Rinpoche then spoke about the importance of having someone who is angry to you, who hates you, who abuses you. We need that to practice patience. By practicing the paramita of patience then you achieve enlightenment. When you practice patience with the person who is angry with you, then that person gives you enlightenment and there are limitless skies of benefit. Rinpoche then spoke about the eight worldly dharmas. Any action in our life that is done with the motivation of attachment, with the thought of just this life’s happiness (such as work, sleeping etc.) it is the cause of suffering and is non-virtue.
