Note: This blog is part of a series sharing the teachings of the Atisha's Lojong Root Verses on Training the Mind as shared by Jetsumna Tenzin Palmo in London May 28 & 29, 2016.  These are not transcriptions of the lectures, rather a collection of her thoughts sewn together.

19. The Supreme method is to be natural.

We don’t need to pretend to be something more than we are.

 

“Nobody should know we are practicing.” ~ Jetsumna Tenzin Palmo
 

When your family notices you are nicer, then you know you are getting somewhere.

 

“Don’t try to impress anybody.” ~ Jetsumna Tenzin Palmo
