5 slogans

Excellent timing (as always) that this video by Pema Chodron (love her) came across my path today.

I needed this teaching as I lean back, look up and throw my arms around what I've experienced and learned in the past 7 weeks. I'm halfway through.

The five slogans of Machig Labdron teach us how to work with fear, aversion, and suffering in the context of the great motivation to benefit others:

1. Confess your hidden faults.
2. Approach what you find repulsive.
3. Help those you think you cannot help. Or, help those you do not want to help.
4. Anything you are attached to, give that.
5. Go to the places that scare you.
