Sogyal Rinpoche, author of the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, is a genius, as well as a smart politician. He utilizes the occasion of writing a book to revile China on persecution in Tibet. Meanwhile, he is also very romantic, having an affair with some in his endeavour of the sexy 'highest yoga'. He barely escaped being sued by settling with some money out of the court. There goes the story. I can't judge whether it is true. Anthony

No one wakes up in the morning and says, "I feel so great today! I think I'll go out and harm someone!" When we can allow ourselves to know the depth of the pain and confusion felt by those who have harmed us, compassion--the wish that they be free from such suffering--can easily arise. Thinking in this way does not mean whitewashing or denying harm that was done. Rather, we acknowledge it, but go beyond amassing resentment, because we know that grudges help neither ourselves nor others. --from Working with Anger <http://www.snowlionpub.com/search.php?isbn=WOAN> by Thubten Chodron, published by Snow Lion Publications Working with Anger .
