Rinpoche sent this advice to a student who was being accused of different things and criticized publicly.

My very dear one,
This may be a very difficult time for you, however, it is important to use the complaints in your tonglen practice. Use the problems on the path to enlightenment. It’s so important for you to do this now; it’s so important to use the Dharma understanding you have.

Use this problem on the path to enlightenment and whatever you experience, make it for the benefit of sentient beings.

There was a great lama in Tibet called Choje Gotsangpa, who said, “Whatever difficulties or bad conditions I experience, may I be able to use it for the benefit of all sentient beings.”

Even though the situation appears as bad, you can use it as a positive; you can use it on the path to enlightenment.

With love and prayer ...
