Tolerance and Understanding
When thinking about an interpersonal conflict, remind oneself to soften and warm up
one’s cold-hearted attitude or hard, rigid stubbornness.
“Warm-Breath Gassho:” While putting hands together in Gassho, blow a warm breath
on your hands and reflect on the melting warmth of tolerant understanding.
Broaden One’s Gratitude
It’s easy to feel grateful for food or desired things. We should widen our gratitude to
include many other things.
“BM Gassho:” After a bowel movement, Gassho to your BM before flushing and say,
“Thank you my stinky BM for doing your part in keeping me healthy.”
(Note: BM can stand for “Buddha Movement.”)
Encouragement to endure and keep going when feeling discouraged.
“Keep-Going Gassho:” Put hands together in Gassho, then extend hands in front of
oneself in a series of small forward motions. Breathe deeply and nod your head yes.
Repeat and experiment with different kinds of forward hand movements.
