        Befriending our beautiful monsters

        How to Make Friends with Your Beautiful Monsters

        A term from Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s Fully Being course and Open Heart, Open Mind book.

        Beautiful because its nature is awake energy.
        Monster because it appears frightening, messy, scary.

        Please stay here, beautiful monster, and practice with me.
        I will not put the dharma on top of you. 
        I will just come alongside you and be your friend.
        ~Lama Willa’s meditation, “Befriending Feeling” from The Wakeful Body
