Teachings from Khenchen

Not much to say, except that I've put my notes from Khenchen's teachings at the Spring Retreat online. These teachings are on generosity and perseverance.

Dharma should be practiced with joy and not to make you miserable. We are practicing to liberate all beings, so we should be optimistic and joyful. We have a method to generate the results so we should be joyful and happy. Without a method, optimism is just delusion. "Oh yes, everything is fine." Without changing our mind, practice is like cleaning the outside of a bowl that is filthy inside.
