Coffee and Blueberries

How do we respond to triggering behaviours in others and in ourselves when striving for compassion? Rupert says: ‘The Dalai Lama’s friend didn’t have compassion for his torturers because he felt the same capacity to torture in himself – that’s not what he was referring to – he felt compassion for his torturers because he felt that behind their thoughts and behaviours, ugly as they were, he was the same being that they are . . . I’m interested in seeing through the behaviours that you find irritating, whether or not you have those behaviours in yourself.’
