"Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains how once we have trained in Lojong, mind transformation, we are able to use whatever undesired things happen, as a weapon to destroy the self cherishing thought. Rinpoche uses two quotations on Lojong, from Praise to Bodhichitta and also from The Seven Point Thought Transformation, and gives examples from Gen Jampa Wangdu and Geshe Lama Konchog for us to see and understand how they were using adverse circumstances to generate the bodhichitta mind.Rinpoche emphasis is on our enemy, the self cherishing thought. This one we have to destroy. “Put all the blame in one”, means we have to blame our self cherishing thought, otherwise we tend to put the blame outside, we blame sentient beings and external conditions. By doing so, much negative karma is created and we are perpetuating the causes for further suffering in samsara.
