The Nechung Oracle Program Thought for the Moment...

Question: What should you say to a loved one who is talking about a third
person with hatred or anger?  On the one hand, you want to show compassion for
the feelings being experienced by the loved one.  On the other hand, you don't
want to reinforce or lend approval to that hatred.  What might one say?

Dalai Lama: Here I would like to tell a story.  Once there was a Kadampa
master called Gampowa who had many responsibilities.  One day he complained to
the Kadampa master Dromtonpa that he had hardly any time for his meditation or
for his Dharma practice.  So Dromtonpa responded by agreeing with him, "Yes,
that's right.  I don't have any time either."  Then once an immediate affinity
was established, Dromtonpa skillfully said, "But, you know what I am doing is
for the service of the Dharma.  Therefore, I feel satisfied."  Similarly, if
you find one of your beloved ones speaking against someone out of anger or
hatred, maybe your initial reaction should be one of agreement and sympathy.
Then once you have gained the person's confidence, you can say, "But...."

     Buddhist Perspective", translated by Geshe Thupten Jinpa, published
