If we would realize, Acharya Lhakpa explained, that objects seemingly “out there” or things appearing inside our mind are like rainbows and dreams, then attachment and aversion would no longer get hold of us, and we would neither cling to our happiness nor feel lost when we are facing pain and hardship.
We need to learn to take aggression and attachment onto the path and turn seemingly unfavorable circumstances into something beneficial, for the benefit of all beings, Acharya Lhakpa explained.
