A Holiday Letter from Pema Khandro

Soothing Fear Through Empathy & Compassion 

Compassion and Empathy have a role to play in dealing with fear and anxiety.

And another approach is compassion and empathy – through which we can know we are not alone. We are experiencing frightful times together; it is therefore an opportunity to practice altruism and compassion. 

 

We can connect with others’ fear as a practice of altruism, which Shantideva says is the path to fearlessness. It is possible, in a state of fear, to connect with the fearful states that others have around us through contemplation or through conversation. We may even be able to be soothing, kind, compassionate, connected presence. We can attune to how others are doing; we can ask and listen and find out again that we are not alone in our fears and anxieties. By connecting we can learn to soothe our own minds and position ourselves to care for others. 

 

This is so helpful when we are blocked in our self-soothing, by connecting and soothing others, we are unlocking the power of co-regulation, this also helps us to soothe ourselves! It helps us to soften towards our own experience, and therefore get free of that hardness and clinging that makes fear harder to bear.

 

Compassionate connections have such an important role to play in times of fear. To connect with others’ fears offers us a way to be with fear that is open hearted and authentic, yet not helpless. 

 

Here are some tips for being empathetic when our loved ones express fear this pandemic holiday season, a little reminder from the Empathy Training. 

 

1. Some cheerful self-discipline is where to begin. Resist the urge to fix them or give them advice first. Empathy first. Advice last (and only when asked or organically emerging). Resist the urge to cheer them up first, it can come off as minimizing. 

 

2. Let other people talk. Listen to other people’s feelings and ask questions about whatever they say. Make room for them to express themselves. Contemplate what their experience is like for them. Focus on understanding. Give it time and space. Just breathe and be there quietly or ask open ended questions.

 

3. Affirm that their feelings are understandable, normal and make sense. If it doesn’t make sense to you, keep asking questions until it does.

 

4. Offer physical affection if appropriate. If you are socially distanced, you can still take deep breaths and be an embodied presence.

 

5. Affirm your support by asking if you can do anything to help, or if you see things you can do to help, do them! Or if you can’t do anything – accept that – we can’t always help or fix things or do things. But there is wonderful, healing intimacy to be had in just sharing our feelings together.

 

6. Does none of this work or go well? Thats okay. It’s normal and understandable to have mis-attunements in relationships. We are not always going to gel or align or harmonize, that’s okay. Better luck next time. You can at least do some tonglen and connect your altruistic intent with them in a whole-hearted way through that meditation.

 

7. If you have overwhelming emotions happening and don’t have the bandwidth to care for others, then you might find it helpful to have professional support, a wonderful way to build up your spiritual resources. This link has a list of therapists that you can search. https://sensorimotorpsychotherapy.org/

 

 

Wishing you much care and compassion in the holiday season,

Ngondro is a series of Vajrayana meditation practices for cleansing, training and empowering the body-mind. Also known as the ‘tantric preliminaries,’ ngondro literally means ‘before going,’ referring to the training one needs to be on the path of liberation.

Ngondro also serves as the foundation for the highest practices of Tibetan Buddhism, it is the pre-requisite to Tsa-lung and Dzogchen practices. Ngondro represents the cognitive, physical, emotional and philosophical components which are keys to the practice of liberation.

PEMA KHANDRO ON LION’S ROAR

When We Have No Choice

By Pema Khandro Rinpoche | December 14th, 2021

 

Sometimes, says Pema Khandro, there’s no way out. It’s at those times that we can discover the depth and resilience of the mind. 

 

Read Now

Dear Friends and Members,

Due to outstanding generosity, $37,000 of the 2021 Dakini Mountain fundraising goal of $50,000 has been met. Thank you so much for supporting Dakini Mountain and the work of Pema Khandro. Only $13,000 more is needed to reach the critically needed goal and we’ve got 11 days of this year left to do it.

So, why make the effort and sacrifice to give these funds?

Dakini Mountain is the physical center of Pema Khandro’s work. And I think it’s fair to say, it’s been under duress due to the pandemic – like many other places and things in today’s world.

Dakini Mountain just opened in 2019 after years of striving to make it happen.  We had one summer’s worth of retreats there and boom, it was shut down due to the pandemic.

Lack of income and lack of being able to use Dakini Mountain for its primary purpose of teaching and fortifying the Buddhadharma have been extremely hard for everyone involved.

I think when times are hard, it’s the time for us to come together and become even more clear about what is important to us.

What vision are we holding for ourselves and our world?

Where are our points of leverage to make our vision reality?

How can we make a difference?

Pema Khandro has held the vision of Dakini Mountain for as long as I’ve known her.  Why?  Because places dedicated to the teachings are vitally important to whether or not Buddhism will flourish.

It’s been shown time and time again throughout history that when Buddhist monasteries, retreats, and teaching centers thrive, Buddhist practice increases in vitality and the number of people practicing becomes larger.

Ask yourself what is most vitally needed in today’s world?

I know my answer, without a doubt.  What is desperately needed in this world is more wisdom and, perhaps even more importantly, more compassion.

This is what Dakini Mountain is dedicated to.

This is what Pema Khandro is dedicated to.

This is what the Buddhist Studies Institute is dedicated to.

It’s a beautiful thing and it makes a huge difference, but we know it’s not easy.  It seems to take all we’ve got to become the best practitioners we can be and to help others.

So, I call you to action.  There are many ways to make a difference, like doing practice, speaking kindly to our loved ones, and doing acts of service, small and large.

But right now, I ask you to give serious thought to making your best possible financial contribution to support and help Dakini Mountain stay alive and thrive.

Only $13,000 more is needed to reach the critically needed goal and we’ve got 11 days of this year left to do it.

We need everyone to take action to make this happen.

Dakini Mountain also needs to be refinanced. One way to help this project is to be one of the guarantors for the new loan! It’s a way to help out without even spending money. Email info@BuddhistStudiesInstitute.org for more details.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve already done, all your service, your donations, your practice and your caring.

May it all come back to you as good karma enriching your life and may you have the joy of seeing others be happy through your good actions.

Gifts can also be made by check, payable to Ngakpa International, and mailed to Dakini Mountain, P.O. Box 2396, Nevada City, California 95959, USA.

Ngakpa International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit EIN 68-0529687 and all gifts are tax deductible as allowed by law.
