In Eight Steps to Happiness Geshe-la says "'Self' and 'other' are relative terms, rather like 'this mountain' and 'that mountain ... 'This' and 'that' therefore depend upon our point of reference. This is also true of self and other. By climbing down the mountain of self, it is possible to ascend the mountain of other, and thereby cherish others as much as we presently cherish ourself."

Sue Hulley

Sue passed away peacefully last night. She was a longtime Kadampa practitioner at Saraha Center in San Francisco, a branch teacher, and a Festival gompa steward, as well as a wife and mother. Many of her Sangha considered her the mother of their center.
Please pray for her and especially for her family.

I am sad at the loss but will use it as fodder for meditation. It happens that we're on renunciation, contemplating in particular the suffering of separation.
