When we are so unhappy with ourselves...

…that we need to hide behind a cause, an ideal, a project or institution to get self-worth, it’s only a temporary measure.

We need to face the damages we have done to others. Own up. Confess openly. Truly apologise without repeat episodes. Heal the hurt. Stop creating more hurt immediately.

Then we can hope to be at peace with others and others with us. It’s hard but with time, it DOES EASE UP.

Don’t be afraid to be a good person.

Don’t fear happiness.

– Tsem Tulku Rinpoche
