Dealing with Ego Repulsion

How can one address feelings of repulsion towards egoic tendencies in oneself and others? Rupert says: ‘Many of you have heard this story before . . . The Dalai Lama relating a conversation he had with a friend of his, an elderly Tibetan monk who had been in a Chinese concentration camp for 20 years . . . The Dalai Lama asked him what it was like . . . He said, ‘On several occasions, I nearly lost my compassion for my guards.’ That’s how to treat other people’s egoic tendencies . . . He nearly lost his compassion. He didn’t lose his compassion . . . He was still compassionate towards his guards.’
